    What browser do you use? Do you have any browser or GNOME extensions installed? Do you know what zygote is? Do you have a Software Update dialog/window displaying on your screen? Is your Ubuntu up to date? In the terminal, what does the top command show?

Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS in a minute can produce over 200GB syslog file which fills system partition and in a result it is not possible to start the system. It happened second time in few weeks.

    What browser do you use? Do you have any browser or GNOME extensions installed? Do you know what zygote is? Do you have a Software Update dialog/window displaying on your screen? Is your Ubuntu up to date? In the terminal, what does the top command show?

From the comments...



It looks like Chrome, or one of its extensions that you've installed, are causing your crazy syslog files.



Either:




  1. Temporarily disable ALL Chrome extensions and see if the problem still occurs.


  2. Temporarily run with Firefox and see if the problem still occurs.
