Active2 years, 3 months ago

I am running Xubuntu 16.04 on an old desktop PC, with this kernel:

Even before upgrading, it started to run a bit slower and I though it was because of the old hardware. Then I noticed that the systemd-journald service was constantly using the CPU at about 10%. The boot partition would fill up quickly because of gigabytes of stuff in /var/log/.

Running sudo journalctl shows an infinite repetition of this:

This is caused by a TP-Link TL-WN722N USB wireless adapter:

Here's the linux-firmware version I have:

Here is the output of lsusb -vv: https://paste.ubuntu.com/24679177/

The weird thing is... the wireless connection works and I can surf the web smoothly. However this behavior is slowing down the machine and constantly filling the partition with logs.

How can I fix this problem? As a temporary workaround I am using a spare wireless adapter with a different chipset, but I would like to keep it for other uses in the future.

Note that your firmware version is 1.157. I suggest that you update the firmware to the latest, 1.164. From the terminal:

As has been suggested, I also recommend that you install a recent kernel version not from proposed.

Reboot and check the log again.

Through our chatroom discussion, I suggested that it was, perhaps an issue in the settings in the computer's BIOS. I recommended that you try resetting the BIOS to defaults and you reported that the problem has been corrected. Thanks for reporting back as I am certain that quite a few searchers will find the solution and benefit from your report.
