I just did a yum update on my google-chrome-stable package and now whenever I start chrome, or open a new tab, ALL my terminal sessions spit out a bunch of annoying messages like:

Now this could be due to me having an older Fedora, or an older video card, or lord knows what else, but I just wanted to get rid of those messages! So here’s the fix, edit “/etc/rsyslog.conf” and comment out the line that has “*.emerg”
Then “service rsyslog restart”
A quick and dirty fix for now!
