[Bug 1505660] Re: ~/.cache/upstart/startkde.log fills up every available disk space

[Seth Arnold]

Looks like usual stderr logspam from an application where no one
actually looks at the stderr output, so there's tons of it and no
pressure to reduce it from users. (Seriously, running firefox or (many?
most? all?) kde programs from a shell is illuminating. And painful.)

Thanks

Bug description:
  I've recently discovered that ~/.cache/upstart/startkde.log is growing
  uncontrollably until a point it fills up my whole Linux partition. As
  I see, it's only filled with an endless recursion of the same error
  message:

  Object
    - prototype Object
  console.error: ytda: 
  Object
    - prototype Object
  console.error: ytda: 
  Object
      - _errorType = Error
      - message = document.getElementsByClassName(...)[0].click is undefined
      - fileName = resource://gre/modules/commonjs/toolkit/loader.js -> resource://gre/modules/commonjs/sdk/loader/sandbox.js -> resource://ytda-at-notsie-dot-com/ytda/data/engine.js
      - lineNumber = 16
      - stack = checkDIV at resource://gre/modules/commonjs/toolkit/loader.js -> resource://gre/modules/commonjs/sdk/loader/sandbox.js -> resource://ytda-at-notsie-dot-com/ytda/data/engine.js:16:3|oInv<@resource://gre/modules/commonjs/toolkit/loader.js -> resource://gre/modules/commonjs/sdk/loader/sandbox.js -> resource://ytda-at-notsie-dot-com/ytda/data/engine.js:1:33|onFire@resource://gre/modules/commonjs/toolkit/loader.js -> resource://gre/modules/commonjs/sdk/loader/sandbox.js -> resource://gre/modules/commonjs/sdk/content/content-worker.js:149:11|
      - name = TypeError
  console.error: ytda: 


  I also observed that this behavior is probably triggered by Firefox
  (version 41.0.1). If I stop it, the log file doesn't grow faster than
  normal, if I start it, it logs again madly.

  I'm currently on Kubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (kernel 3.16.0-50-generic).
