It's my first time with Ubuntu 22.04.

I've re-done a format, because previously, log files such as syslog and kern.log (at /var/log) kept writing the same error messages (I suppose) and fulled my hard drive. The messages were about the same as in this case.

I deleted them, but the machine kept going slowly. I opened the the System Monitor and saw that a gnome-shell was using most of my CPU. I killed it, and the UI disappeared; I knew I had messed up.

At the moment I'm typing from a fresh install, but I'm afraid this uncontrolled spam will begin sooner or later. What should I do? I've read it might have to do with BIOS, but I don't want to mess it up; better just follow the advice of some expert.

Edit: I solved this problem by replacing line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash loglevel=3 vga=current pcie_aspm=off" in /etc/default/grub.

    The usual recommended solution is to *fix the actual problem* that is being repeatedly logged. Since you have not presented actual log output, we don't know if you have the same problem (which was indeed fixed) or not. – user535733 Sep 04 '22 at 18:03
  • From the link you refers to it seems that the advise from the expert is to see if there is a update to the motherboard bios / firmware from the vendor ... have you checked that ? – Soren A Sep 04 '22 at 18:07
  • @SorenA, how do I check this in Ubuntu? – Best Quality Vacuum Sep 04 '22 at 18:09

    @BestQualityVacuum you check it at your motherboard vendor's homepage. – Soren A Sep 04 '22 at 18:11
