If I run: journalctl -b1 --no-pager --no-hostname

It scrolls by fast (Infinite loop of logging happening) with nothing but these:

I’ve read every similar thread and there are no solutions that I can find. I thought maybe it was gpu-related so I reinstalled my nvidia driver to the beta. Nothing changed. nautilus isn’t even running. Neither is VLC like some suggest. This is a fresh install BTW.

The worst part is, whatever is causing this is causing one of my CPU cores to max out constantly. It’s been doing this ever since I installed.

Hi and welcome to the forum :wave:

This is a know issue, there is a item on the backlog of the team that develops nautilus. Add your findings to the issue on gnome gitlab so the developers know that there are more people who experience this issue.

As a workaround I would set your systemd logsize to something sensible so it does not use all the space:

$ sudo nano /etc/systemd/journald.conf
Example for 50MB

SystemMaxUse=50M

more workarounds are here
