every time i delete the syslog it grows to several GB within days. With a 640 MB file, approx. 639 Mb were filled with something like this:
print-layout-begin

Where is the mistake? What can I do?
don’t really know - I don’t recognise what “plank-1.desktop” is.
What changes to the plank configuration have you made?
Maybe resetting plank will help:
killall plank
rm -rf ~/.config/plank
logout and login.
Thank you for the fast answer. I will test and report
your solution seems to have helped. So far, the syslog has only been a few kb. Thanks a lot
Happy too early. last night the syslog was 3 GB again. Aslo I deleted the syslog, ended the plank and deleted it from the autostart and instead created an additional budgie panel as a dock at the bottom of the screen (only with the icon task list). After a few minutes the syslog was again 64 MB, but this time with “budgie-panel.desktop [2908]: print-layout-begin …”
Sorry - no idea. I cannot reproduce this. I’m using a couple of days old clean install.
The problem is still present. is there a possibility to prevent entries in the syslog?
please use paste.ubuntu.com and copy-paste the output of
journalctl -ae | grep plank
I don’t recognise the initial trace you gave - that above will be more meaningful.
umm … is that it? that’s very small.
yes, but the syslog is also very small at the moment because I only restarted the pc at 10 p.m. I will post a version tomorrow if the syslog is again several Gb in size.
Today after 45 Mintues using Budgie syslog grows up to 2.5 GB.

what version of plank are you using?
dpkg -s plank | grep Version
dpkg -s plank | grep Version
Version: 0.11.89-1
Sorry - I’ve no idea what you have done to make plank to behave like that
it is not only plank. “budgie-panel.desktop [2908]: print-layout-begin …” if plank was not aktiv
It does look like you have turned on debugging somehow - no idea how though.
you can turn it off again?
dunno - the only google thread that I’ve found is this - I don’t speak french though
Similar trace - have you been fiddling with journald stuff? or systemd configurations?

the thread treats nearly the same problem. I will try the solution there. Many thanks for your effort
it is not nearly the same, it is the same. I also like to play with Kpatience in between and the program seems to be the culprit.
