Title:
  mythbuntu-log-grabber sends too much data to pastebin

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Mythbuntu-log-grabber gathers complete logs and sends them to pastebin. With systems that have been up a long time or systems with large log files, this can contain a great deal of data. There is a limit, although size is unknown that pastebin will take (assumed 1MB). 

A fix for this is to grab the last 1000 lines of log files rather than the complete log file. There is no need to gather more than that (that is actually more than we would likely want anyway, but should be sufficient enough to gather what log entries for a majority of cases and still be under the limit)
