| Noob74 | Why would my syslog be 33 GB? | 01:46 |
|---|---|---|
| Noob74 | And is that where I would check for logs if my system keep crashing? | 01:46 |
| Noob74 | (btw, xubuntu is seriously lightyears better than every other distro) | 01:47 |
| JackFrost | I'd say sounds like something is going a bit wonky, but since you mention repeated crashes that sounds about right. | 01:50 |
| JackFrost | I just had a system go crazy and fill the disk via kern.log and syslog, same repeated message being spammed who knows how many times a second. Quite lovely... | 01:51 |
| Noob74 | yep, kern is also bloated. Every distro does this. I think it's a driver problem | 01:51 |
| Noob74 | I finally got tired of it and decided to get to the bottom of it | 01:52 |
| Noob74 | The problem is I can't open the damn logs! | 01:52 |
| JackFrost | cat/grep won't? | 01:53 |
| Noob74 | cat worked, thanks | 01:54 |
| Noob74 | Dec 21 11:36:25 Laptop kernel: [ 2893.177752] rtw_8821ce 0000:01:00.0: pci bus timeout, check dma status | 01:55 |
| Noob74 | I will switch to open source driver and see if that helps | 01:55 |
| Noob74 | On the bright side, this caused me to switch distros a million times and I found Xubuntu | 02:11 |
| Noob74 | I've used it in the past but it's improved so much, especially the interface | 02:11 |
| Noob74 | It's the best looking IMHO | 02:11 |
| Noob74 | And I've never had a single problem with it, other than needing to add a script for touchpad scrolling | 02:12 |
| Noob74 | Although, the default applications are not the greatest | 02:13 |
| tomreyn | if you don't strictly need syslog, you could purge rsyslog and just use systemd-journald, which doesn't let logs grow that large due to a broken driver spamming | 02:19 |
| Noob74 | I'll look into that thanks | 02:20 |
| tomreyn | though you could also do the log rate limiting with rsyslog | 02:20 |
| Noob74 | I think the crashes might be caused by the log being so big and not the error itself | 02:20 |
| tomreyn | but right now you probably have both rsyslog and journald | 02:20 |
| Noob74 | Or it being written too fast or something | 02:21 |
| Noob74 | Not closing the file in time? | 02:21 |
| tomreyn | i could also make up some random theories and add them here, or you could try to examine what is actually happening | 02:45 |
| Noob25 | I don't know much about Linux or computer science. I found some solutions but they don't really give me an understanding of what's going on. I'm open to learning more if you have any suggestions | 04:35 |
| Noob25 | But it has something to do with the proprietary driver. I haven't had a crash yet so I think switching drivers fixed it | 04:36 |
| Noob25 | anyways thanks for the tips | 04:36 |
| Noob25 | I plan on using linux the rest of my life so honestly if you know any good blanket learning resources let me know | 04:39 |
| Noob25 | otherwise I'll just keep googling :) | 04:39 |

| xu-help1w | Hello | 23:53 |
| xu-help1w | Excuse me! Is any one here? | 23:54 |
| Bashing-om | xu-help1w: Sure there are some looking on - what can we do for you ? | 23:54 |
| xu-help1w | Thanks! I need to download xubuntu lts 20.04.2 iso image... yet I can't find it anywhere. Where can I find the image? | 23:56 |
| tomreyn | xu-help1w: why do you need this one specifically, could you not use any newer 20.04.x image? | 23:57 |
| Bashing-om | xu-help1w: ^2 >> https://xubuntu.org/download . | 23:57 |
| xu-help1w | Sorrowfully I have problems with the NVIDIA driver! The 20.04.3 come with Linux Kernel 5.11 and the nvidia driver won't work with this 5.11 kernel. | 23:59 |
