    Re: why my disk got full?

    Taken from this answer:

    Your system has some sort of repeating error, and this is being logged in syslog.

    To find out what the error might be, enter this command in a terminal:
    Code:
    tail --lines=100 /var/log/syslog
    Post the results here if you don't understand them.

    To clear your current syslog, enter this command in a terminal:
    Code:
    sudo truncate --size=0 /var/log/syslog
    This is only a temporary solution, because we need to find out why it's being filled.
    Always make regular backups of your data (and test them).

    Re: why my disk got full?

    A few months ago, we helped someone else here figure out all the ways file systems can fill up. Please find that thread, since there are lots of good tools and techniques shown.

    And please don't post images inline, especially when 1500 text characters can easily show the same information and allow people to copy/paste important parts in their replies. Make it easy to help you, please.

    Thank you.

    This looks like an old bug, also mentioned in a previous thread.

    Look at this Reddit thread and at comment #13 in the above-mentioned bug report.

    Does any of that help?

    too complicated.

    the second command that you gave me will not solve it for good?

    Re: why my disk got full?

    What command?
    Do you mean the truncate command in post #2?
    I thought he wrote it's temporary.
    Basically, it should allow you some breathing room until you find a real fix.

    Did you look at the suggestion in post #6?

    You can run these commands
    Code:
    gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock hot-keys false
    
    gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock hotkeys-overlay false
    
    gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock hotkeys-show-dock false
    These command are the same as what would be done with dconf-editor.
    Only difference is dconf-editor is a nice gui app.

    Sometimes there are 10,000 possible causes for an issue, so you need to help yourself to figure out the problem. Deleting logs should happen automatically. For a system running fine, that's what happens. Something has gone wrong with YOUR system. Until you figure out what has gone wrong, there won't be any permanent solution possible.

    Removing logs faster just masks the problem. If not addressed, that problem WILL get worse and worse and worse, until the system won't boot at all.


    But fixing it or not is 100% your choice.

    A sticking plaster is to install Stacer (Linux monitoring tool) and third button down is a Cleaner which can delete all or some logs. Until you can get a grip on why? Stacer gives you a dashboard into the Ubuntu engine room.
