[Bug 1269838] Re: gnome-session.log takes 8 GB in a few hours

[James Hunt]

There is an upstart logrotate job that runs automatically soon after
session start, however, it does not (yet) run periodically to handle
rogue jobs such as gnome-session. You can however run the job yourself
simply enough as a non-root user:

$ start logrotate

Please attach a few lines of the output from your gnome-session log.
