Program filled up hard drive
OMTDesign opened this issue · 2 comments
Hello,
I downloaded the 64bit version for linux. I ran the program by giving it "execute the file as a program" privileges then double clicked on the file.
No GUI appeared, and I forgot about the program and I continued to do other tasks on my laptop. The program ran for a few hours in the background, and it filled up 30GB of my hard drives space before terminating on its own.
I think I found the problem, the program failed to execute and created a system log file that is 30GB
saying
Please input a valid number Please input a valid number...
Firefox 69.0.2
On Ubuntu 16.04.
Had the same happen to me, except I only noticed as one of my cores were running at 100%.
$ top showed systemd-journal running at +100%. Opened the log with journalctl -f to track new log entries, found it continuously printing "Please input a valid number" searched the journal for the string and found shadowfox was the culprit.
Running Ubuntu 18.04
Just did some digging, this is no longer an issue in the most current release (v2.2.0 - https://github.com/SrKomodo/shadowfox-updater/releases)
