I had the same problem . Maybe Viber wants to use systemd ?

@RedGreen925
Thank you for taking time to provide a solution . I just dissabled the xsession log before i saw your solution , but i think yours is way more elegant .

Thnx everyone for the ideas . i ran du -ah . | awk '$1 ~ /^[0-9.]+[MGTP]/ && ($1 ~ /G/ || ($1 ~ /M/ && $1+0 > 20))' to see what large files where on the partition and found this 78G    ./vladz/.xsession-errors.old . LOL . When i opened it , it was full of: (mate-power-manager:2637): PowerManager-WARNING **: 17:47:08.819: failed to turn on DPMS: DPMS is not enabled . I guess we found the issue , but this is an issue in of itself right ? I deleted the xsession error log , wich freed up the space , but what could be causing MATE power manager to spam errors ? The pc this is running on is an old asf Dell optiplex 745 .

Hello . Im running devuan 6 MATE . I have two hard disk , and i have seperate / and /home partiotions on them . The issue is , when i leave the pc running for several hours (i have sleep mode dissabled) , the space on my /home partition gets filled with "nothing" . Disk usage analyzer and the file explorer dont show what files have taken up the space , while the pc was idling . This happened several times , while i was away so idk what could be causing it . Each time Firefox , Deluge and VLC were open so idk if one of those programs idlling causes the issue . The first time i was able to reclaim the space by running fsck from a live usb . I didnt save the outputs of fsck so idk what it fixed . But now running fsck doesnt fix it and ive been moving files to / or /opt each time lol . What is causing this and how can i fix it ? Tell me what command outputs i should paste here for more info . Thnx .
