Guake: Gnome shell logs and journald

[Deathorn]

Hello. Every time I open guake, tons of logs litters my journald:

Since I prefer to look up the logs in guake too (with journalctl -f in one tab), it really pisses me off to scroll and find the right strings. Since I can't filter out this logs due to limitations (or "features") of systemd, I didn't find how to disable gnome-shell logging and I didn't find anything related in issues here, can you please tell me what i can do with it?

Thanks.

I'm using Arch Linux, Guake 3.0.4

I can repro both on Arch and Fedora Rawhide fresh installations, so I'd guess it's a bug occurring in recent GNOME 3 builds.

On Arch, I've this information after the stacktrace reported above:

This is GNOME Shell bug, I am getting the same error when using alt-tab. IIRC it first appeared in 3.26 updated.

[gsemet]

on HEAD I have filtered all these logs if you do not have started with -v

[jtojnar]

See, for example, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=233858

[mordax777]

Same here, it just fills up my syslog with spam that I dont need.
Any new on a fix here?

[callum-p]

Same here

[callum-p]

I ended up uninstalling Guake because of this. Haven't missed it TBH.

Sorry for filling the issue with my junk message, thumbs down to you too jtojnar :D.

[jtojnar]

This IS a GNOME Shell issue and it was resolved in 3.30. While a proper fix has still to come, these particular messages should be no longer shown. If you see some other message on GNOME 3.30+, please open a new issue.
