var/system/journal logs flooded with i2c_hid i2c_hid_get_input: incomplete report (14/65535)

id flag

So for the last day or two, DiskUsage keeps complaining about no disk space on my root / partition.

I can mitigate this issue by editing the /etc/systemd/journald.conf and setting the SystemMaxUse=200M and then restarting the journald by running sudo service systemd-journald restart.

However, I'd like to get to the root issue of this because the following line is continually dumped into my logs for some reason:

Sep 22 08:05:51 aaron kernel: [12884.056854] i2c_hid i2c-ELAN0712:00: i2c_hid_get_input: incomplete report (14/65535)

This is happening several times a second constantly. I've seen other people with /var/log issues with a very similar set of log entries.

this is what I get when I run tail /var/log/syslog:

It was 7:41am when I ran that command so this is happening constantly.

What's going on? How can I fix the issue that's causing this constant logging?

EDIT: So it looks like this might have something to do with my touchpage (This is an HP Laptop) but my mousepad runs just fine. My keyboard is working and my laptop also has a touchscreen feature which is also working.

You can try to follow the solution of Pablo Abrudsky in here. It worked for me. You'll need to access to /etc/default/grub and change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=" and then run:

$ sudo update-grub

And finally, vacuum the journal. Good luck!!!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
