/var/log - Palm uploading activity all the time?

criley98 · 07/02/2009, 05:24 PM

So, I tried to update a couple of apps in the App Catalog and I received an error that I didn't have enough memory and needed to delete apps. Not sure what's causing this and I've tried removing a couple of apps but I'm still getting the error even after restarts. So, I started digging around with SFTP and SSH. After running a df -h to show disk space, I got this return:

Code:

root@castle:/var/home/scripts# df -h

rootfs                  441.7M    369.1M     72.6M  84% /

                        441.7M    369.1M     72.6M  84% /

                         38.7M     31.3M      7.5M  81% /var/log
tmpfs                    64.0M    176.0k     63.8M   0% /tmp

/dev/mapper/store-media
                          6.7G      1.9G      4.7G  29% /media/internal

                        248.0M    201.4M     46.6M  81% /opt

So, I decided to look in /var/log and found some info about problems uploading the logs found in /var/log/rdxd/pending. There are approximately 22MB of logs in the pending directory in .tgz. So, I pulled one down to my computer and opened it up. There are remote diagnostic logs in it that detail a TREMENDOUS amount of information about my phone.

Anyone look at this stuff? Anyone look at a df -h of their filesystem and see any differences in the space available? Anyone else having update/install issues from the App Catalog?

HELP!!!

Could you elaborate for us?

I took a look at the logs, and I don't see anything that seems unreasonable about any of them.

I was looking through this the other day. The packages that rdxd is uploading don't contain anything personal. They send debug information about crashes, core dumps, mini cores, java exceptions, kernel OOMs and stuff like that. And from all I could tell, the actual core dumps are never included, just an information packet wrapped up in a tarball.

Okay...anyway, I still can't even upgrade currently installed apps. I deleted some of the log files and still nothing. Any ideas?

Pretty much uninstalled everything and still can't install or upgrade any apps. I posted over at the Palm Support forum so we'll see what happens there. Grrr....
