2017-02-23 17:55:27 Colin Ian King description This seems somewhat related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thermald/+bug/1543046 For some reason thermald is writing the message "sysfs write failed constraint_0_power_limit_uw" to the syslog every few seconds. However, there's nothing in the kernel log. $ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=yakkety DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.10" $ uname -a Linux graham-desktop 4.8.0-34-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 21 17:24:18 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ dpkg -l | grep thermald ii thermald 1.5.3-4 amd64 Thermal monitoring and controlling daemon $ grep "sysfs write failed constraint_0_power_limit_uw" /var/log/syslog | wc -l 14160 $ grep thermald /var/log/kern.log | wc -l 0 I'm an experienced Linux user but not an experienced bug submitter, so please let me know if I have failed to provide any necessary info. Am happy to attach additional logs. [SRU REQUEST, Xenial, Yakkety] Thermald is spamming the log with error messages on sysfs write failure messages. Demote these to debug level errors so that they aren't logged unless running in debug mode. [FIX] See comment #24, with the fix the messages are not logged when in normal non-debug running mode. [REGRESSION POTENIAL] Minimal, this just reduces the logging spam by turning messages into debug only for when running in debug mode. --------------------------------------- This seems somewhat related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thermald/+bug/1543046 For some reason thermald is writing the message "sysfs write failed constraint_0_power_limit_uw" to the syslog every few seconds.
