My box that my geek son built ...
Makes snapshots and after a few months the O/S uses up all my ssd drive space. Discover is the update tool that won’t let you turn it off.
Now got a keyring issue with brave browser. I don’t want it but everytime I restart the brave it pops up sort of out of my view and hangs the browser until I cancel it.
Kubuntu 22.04
KDE Plasma Version 5.24.7
Thinkgs like these that ME as the USER have no say in.
Imran into that keyring issue too- can’t remember how I fixed it- but I have the link somewhere. If I can remember, ill post it tomorrow- something about “users” setting if I recall correctly
You can restrict the amount of space / number of instances of snapshots that the btrfs filesystem creates. Been there done that... Years ago. I believe I used snapper to restrict the number to 3 snapshots.... Never a problem again... Out of mind... (Discover probably triggers snapshots prior to updates). Like I say, I haven’t thought about it since initial problems when btrfs came out.
Use ‘df -T’ on the command line to quickly see which file system(s) are used for the various disk partitions. Probably will show the .snapshots pseudo-partition also.
And a snapper command to restrict snapshots to 3 for the root volume would look something like this:
‘sudo snapper -c root set-config NUMBER_LIMIT=3’
ok, here is the keyring issue solution that i did- stopped brave from requiring it
