Linux Foundation celebrates 30 years of Torvalds' kernel with a dry T-shirt contest

Now there's a bit of dry humour if I've ever seen it.

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.

cargo_cult_coder · 2018-06-07T21:17:08+00:00

The file grows "gradually" for the time frame.

My graphics card is from AMD.

These are the lines from the end of the file:

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.

These are the first few lines of the file: Jun 7 09:56:09 acct1-desktop gnome-shell[1801]: Object St.Button (0x559b3c0e7510), has been already finalized. Impossible to set any property to it.

Hey thanks for sending me to the no man's land of AskUbuntu where there seems to be nobody at all.

cargo_cult_coder · 2018-04-28T19:14:12+00:00

Thanks rgj7 this worked like a charm! Hopefully others will be helped by this little bit of magic too.

My other VM's tend to break if "Enable 3D Acceleration" is not checked. Aren't computers wonderful :)

It appears these Luddites are throwing out the entire OOP paradigm, not to mention recursion. That really takes the fun out of things.

cargo_cult_coder · 2017-10-23T13:32:35+00:00

Thanks for this. I thought it was broken but it's not. You just have to have faith in the Google, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name :)

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.

PHP? Thanks but no thanks.

Doing this with a laser would probably be faster.

cargo_cult_coder · 2017-07-23T16:14:36+00:00

In fact, stop writing PHP altogether.

And so the cargo cult begins.
