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
