| Mooncairn | Has anyone had Nautilus go out to lunch and gnome-shell absolutely spamming /var/syslog because of it? | 21:05 |
|---|---|---|
| Mooncairn | */var/log/syslog - I know where all of the system log files are, I swear! ;-) | 21:10 |
| cmaloney | heh | 21:11 |
| cmaloney | Depends on where it's pointed to | 21:11 |
| cmaloney | but yeah, sometimes GNOME can be a little ... chatty. | 21:11 |
| Mooncairn | My current syslog is up to 50M. | 21:12 |
| cmaloney | damn | 21:12 |
| cmaloney | have you tried stopping / restarting nautilus? | 21:13 |
| Mooncairn | Probably most of it having to do with gnome-shall being unable to find a non-zombified nautilus. | 21:13 |
| Mooncairn | Yea, it just goes back out to lunch after a bit. | 21:13 |
| Mooncairn | Sometimes a simple kill will bring it down, other times kill -9 is needed. | 21:13 |
| Mooncairn | It started doing that on Dec 28. I'm not sure what the potential trigger may have been. | 21:14 |
| Mooncairn | I didn't look at everything today, but when I gave up scrolling through today's logs, it looks like it had been borked and syslog had been getting spammed for hours. | 21:17 |
| Mooncairn | Just put in a cron job to kill nautilus every 5 minutes. *sigh* | 21:32 |
| Mooncairn | Okay, I'm starting to think GNOME is broken. After killing nautilus, clicking on it in the Dock doesn't restart it. | 21:43 |
| Mooncairn | ... but right-clicking a desktop icon and selected Properties will. | 21:43 |
| Mooncairn | Oh, this is interesting. The Nautilus problems began almost immediately after I had upgraded my Nvidia drivers and rebooted the system. | 22:35 |
| cmaloney | Ugh | 23:02 |
| cmaloney | This is part of the reason that I got rid of all of my NVidia stuff | 23:02 |
| Mooncairn | I'd misread the logs. There was a 2.5 hour gap between upgrading the drivers and the first problem with Nautilus. | 23:19 |
| Mooncairn | The immediate event after which trouble started was when my system woke from sleep. | 23:19 |
| Mooncairn | Still not encouraging as that could suggest hardware trouble. | 23:20 |
| Mooncairn | But yeah, the next video card that I buy will probably be AMD. | 23:22 |
| cmaloney | sleep might be your issue as well | 23:31 |
| cmaloney | i don't touch it at all | 23:31 |
| Mooncairn | What would you recommend as an alternative to leaving it up 24/7? | 23:40 |
| cmaloney | getting a ssd and booting it up each time | 23:41 |
| cmaloney | That's what I do with my laptop | 23:41 |
| Mooncairn | Alright, disabled sleep. Will shut down at night or for long daytime intervals that I'll be afk. | 23:49 |
| Mooncairn | Still need to clean up the nautilus mess. Might explore resetting its data to default. | 23:49 |
| Mooncairn | Wow... Nautilus just disappeared as I was in its Preferences dialog. | 23:56 |
| * Mooncairn smacks forehead. | 23:57 | |
| Mooncairn | D'oh, the cron job is doing what I told it to do. Nevermind. | 23:57 |
| Mooncairn | So, cron job's not a solution. | 23:57 |
