/home usage mysteriously shooting up? (solved)

pidsley · 2012-08-24 22:16:37

Maybe too big for nano. Just do

less .xsession-errors

(edit) if it's in your home folder, why are you using sudo?

Lol. It will probably log those errors again. Just delete it and check it the next time you restart your system.

chown the file and then use tail.

Hmm well that just says some stuff with mintube, but I used Ikey's patch and minitube works just fine...

What about `cat /home/user/.xsession-errors | less`?

Another alternative, assuming whatever's caused all those errors is still causing errors, is to go ahead and delete it, then restart and try opening the newly-created log.

I have this also some time ago when traying to mount one problematic .iso image. That image is created from one broken
CD using readcd years ago. .xsession-errors was full of 2GB nonsense in a minute.

I think some video file is not maded in proper codec or wrongly edited somehow .

A little late to the party this time pvsage, I already suggested using less (and he doesn't need cat |, just "less .xsession-errors" works) and ragnarok suggested deleting the file.

MarioMaster, try this:

tail -n 100 .xsession-errors

Not sure why it has autoclean and autoremove in the list though ?_?

Well, if he couldn't access the file and it's taking up most of his space, yeah, I think he should delete it.
If the error still occurs after a reboot, that's when he should worry and find a way to check the file/remove repeated lines. It's also likely that the log will be smaller after rebooting (with the same error, just repeated less).

Most of the time the errors reported in the xsession error log are harmless.

Alright deleting time then.

smoki · 2012-08-24 23:23:24

Try tail with bigger number like 10000. Something repeted must be there.

Do you mounted recently something with that file size, some DVD, .iso image... maybe?

Well you weren't fast enough, I deleted the log and rebooted, problem solved, also deleted some temp files and caches, more space opened up Thanks for the help guys

pidsley · 2012-08-24 23:53:17

Keep an eye on that file -- it will probably get big again.

And you are too fast Now, you don't know what was cause .

And also you don't need to reboot, enough is logout & login to restart X .

Were you reading the banned psychedelics topic right before that?

The thread topics were rather proximal...

@Mario: I'd keep an eye on that error log.
