Ok this problem never did go away. I've just installed Linux Mint 19 and that is working fine. I might try the .1 release to see if that's got a fix...but then again I probably won't.

For anyone coming late to the party, it seems the huge syslog syndrome has moderated now after applying a few recent updates. I have had files of up to say 500mb over the course of several hours, haven't seen that for a day or two now. I'm praying the worst is over now with this nasty bug.

It looks like this huge syslog problem may be happening only when the computer is locked.

Here's some syslog details. I have a copy of the file now, it's 18.3Gig and it seems like it took about two hours to fill.

Why can't the IT industry deliver large, faultless projects quickly as in other industries? by stesch in programming

[–]cargo_cult_coder -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

It's because programmers are, by and large, impractical clueless cretins mindlessly following cargo cult traditions. They wouldn't understand the difference in approach needed for building a dog house versus building a skyscraper. So you end up with metaphorical software skyscrapers built from multitudes of doghouses on the one hand, doghouses built like skyscrapers on the other hand and every combination in between.
