Dear Maintainer,

   Hello,

     I installed FCEUX from the Debian Stretch repositories and soon after it
started filling up my
   "messages", "syslog", and "user.log" logs files in /var/log. I noticed this
evening that I was
    low on disk space and those three files were taking up over 200GB of space.

     I used the tail command on those three files and noticed that it was
filled with errors about trying
  to parse the fceux.desktop file in /usr/share/applications.

     I managed to fix it by opening the fceux.desktop file and deleting
everything below the
  "Actions=Fullscreen;DefaultConfig;" line.

    Once I did that, everything seems fine now.

   Thank you

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply -- I have just resumed maintenance of the fceux
package. Are you still experiencing this issue? If so, would you mind
trying the new version of fceux [2.3.0]?

Much appreciated,
--Joe
