Comment 12 for bug 1908429

Hi everyone,

I have the same problem. The solution to avoid the log flooding the entire disk is to place this line in the root cron (sudo crontab -e):
*/1 * * * * [[ $(tail /mnt/data/system/var/log/syslog | grep -vi "cron" | grep "The offending callback was SourceFunc().") ]] && kill -HUP $(pidof gnome-shell)

This greps the last lines of the log every minute and triggers a restart of gnome-shell if the offending callback is found. None of the current applications are killed (except gnome-shell) which is convenient. If you are limited in space, I would recommend to run the command every 30s or less. Source of this is available here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/1868#note_1050922

Hope this helps.
