Comment 68 for bug 1772677

Is there any fix or workaround for this bug? I installed a brand new copy of Ubuntu 18.04 on a brand new 512 GB SSD three days ago on Saturday evening (2019-03-09). I installed online updates during installation. It is now Tuesday evening (2019-03-12). The computer has been locked for most of the time since installation.

In my /var/log directory, I have two enormous files:
syslog (188.2 GB)
syslog.1 (264.5 GB)

And one smaller compressed older file:
syslog.2.gz (313.6 MB)

(I can confirm the issue I am experiencing is the error related to "osdWindow.js:207" on 18.04.)

This needs a fix ASAP! I can't have my desktop filling up its storage with hundreds of gigs of errors every day! (~188 + ~264= ~452 GB in two or three days)

I've attached the output of ls -l /var/log for proof since these are some of the largest hard numbers I've seen mentioned in this thread.
