sixwheeledbeastWhen your looking to free up disk space A usual place to grab a few Gb would be /var/log....00:47
* sixwheeledbeast stares at /var/log/journal thinking your a 4Gb blob and I assume I need to work out what tool makes you not that size.00:48
DocScrutinizer05sixwheeledbeast: blame systemd00:50
sixwheeledbeastWas greping for  *.log.*.gz  Really that hard that they made some ctl tool for "managing" this stuff. :sigh:00:53
DocScrutinizer05yep00:53
DocScrutinizer05complete epic fail00:54
DocScrutinizer05my opensuse still defaults to rsyslog00:55
sixwheeledbeastI imagine the fancy tool does all sorts of things and can filter if you know how, but all i want is to locate some old files and press delete...00:55
DocScrutinizer05somehow you can disable that systemd-journald junk00:55
sixwheeledbeastprobably, as with probably many people I don't want it but it's just as much of a hassle to fight it00:57
sixwheeledbeastjournalctl --rotate && journalctl --vacuum-time=90d    did the trick, completely logical way to do things obviously.01:04
