BriskMenuFactory Logging

Support & Help Requests
#1

It appears that full or debug logging is enabled in UbuntuMate 20.04 by default for org.mate.panel.applet.BriskMenuFactory. Every time it refreshes weather data, it puts out lines of information to syslog showing the data in a comma delimited format. I have other machines with this same version which do not exhibit this behavior, the difference is that the machine with all the syslog entries is not logged in (greeter active) where the other machines are always logged into a display session. I wonder if since there is no user logged in that the update data from Brisk has no where to go but syslog?

This is a brand new install with very few modifications made so far.

It is not really that much data and it isn't filling up the harddrive, but I would like to find out what is casuing this and/or how to change the logging level to reduce the syslog noise.

Googlesearches and https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brisk-menu didn't help any,

Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same problem with a fresh install of MATE 20.04. After monitoring problem for a couple of days, I noticed that my syslog was less than 1MB in size for most of the day. I went out for a while. My computer went to screensaver. When I woke it up from screensaver and later checked the syslog, it was almost 1.5 GB in size. Here's the last hundred or so lines of my syslog:

Advanced MATE Menu bug? Appearing in syslog
#3

This is bug worthy, please file a bug report on this.

Here is a tutorial which will walk you through the bug report process if you have never done one before.

#4

After doing many searches and reading suggestions, what has worked for me is: Control Center --> Startup Applications then Add BriskMenuFactory::BriskMenu Now when booting my computer (I am using a 2014 Mac Mini which I did a complete install of Ubuntu Mate and use the Cupertino desktop -- no more Mac OS), I do not have the problem nor does it show when Rebooting.
