Liguei meu pc hoje e recebi uma mensagem informando que minha memória estava quase cheia. Venha descobrir que é algo com GDM3 no /var/logdiretório. Não tenho certeza do que é isso e se posso de alguma forma limpá-lo ou remover arquivos para recuperar um pouco de memória?

Faça um tail -n 100 /var/log/sysloge procure por linhas repetidas que contenham erros. Copie-os em um arquivo de texto e faça
> /var/log/syslog
(isso esvazia o arquivo, mas mantém todas as configurações do arquivo. Excluí-lo e recriá-lo pode criar o arquivo com permissões ou usuário ou grupo errados).
Em seguida, procure o problema no askubuntu ou no google e veja qual é a solução para esse problema. Se você não conseguir encontrar uma solução, edite a pergunta e adicione as linhas à pergunta (sinta-se à vontade para excluir também a lista de arquivos).
