title: var/log/syslog.1 file is expanding rapidly
body: <p>My var/log/syslog.1 has expanded to a very large size of about 500+ GB and taking up my disk space unnecessarily.
  This is the log which has been piled up inside the file</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dec 27 16:39:45 divus org.gnome.Nautilus[4124]: [00007fbb20948c00] vdpau_chroma filter error: video mixer rendering failure: An invalid handle value was provided.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Should I delete this file or is there any other way how I can stop it from unnecessary logging. 
  I am running Ubuntu 18.04 with a 1TB HDD</p>
