My laptop (running Ubuntu) recently ran out of space because of an excessively large syslog file. After digging into the file, I am getting a KDE message (see below) that is literally repeated hundreds of thousands of times. I have spent hours of research on this and can't find a solution on the internet. I then tried uninstalling and reinstalling Dolphin, but the message continues. Could there be a process calling Dolphin and it's not able to handle a prompt correctly?

Code: Select all

As a stop gap for now, I periodically clear the Syslog file using the following command running as root

Code: Select all

> /var/log/syslog

Anyone else run into this or have suggestions on resolving? I have exhausted my own knowledge and research. My experience with Linux is pretty limited, so thanks in advance for your patience with me on this one.

Which exact Dolphin version is this about? Does it also happen with a new user?
