Package: nodm Version: 0.4-1 Severity: normal just recently i discovered that my ~/.xsession-errors has been growing to several mb of size. on my desktop computers .xsession-errors never gets that big -- though i am tm not sure if it is created from scratch on login or deleted when exceeding a limit. anyway, since the most notable difference between my desktops and the fr nodm vs kdm is, i guess, nodm is responsible for not cleaning out ..xsession-errors.
in /etc/X11/Xsession at or about line 77 there is exec >>"$ERRFILE" 2>&1 which seems to be responsible -- replacing >> with > should help. for some discussion regarding this simple fix see > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/60448 gdm otoh does the purging on its own. in daemon/slave.c a method exists called wipe_xsession_errors that cleans out .xsession-errors and is called in gdm_slave_session_start no clue. inhowfar that would fit into nodm (and where, nodm_session?). -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: armel Kernel: Linux debian-gta02 2.6.28-20090105.git69b2aa26 #1 PREEMPT Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
