I never experienced this before today, but this morning and noticed I had lost 300+GB of space overnight. Baobab didn't give me any idea where the space had gone (it ignores dot-files?!?!), but K4DirStats led me straight to .xsession-errors. Through my own folly, I did not capture a tail of what had been generating all the output. After reboot, the only error I see being continually re-written is:
WARN 2011-11-18 08:39:40 glib <unknown>:0 Unable to fetch children: Method "Children" with signature "" on interface "org.ayatana.bamf.view" doesn't exist That message is only written at a rate of about once a minute, though. So, it's unlikely to be the only cause unless something caused it to accelerate in frequency. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/870138 Title: .xsession-errors fills hard drive until system crashes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxde-common/+bug/870138/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
