[gentoo-user] X without console log window?
Everytime when I startup my computer, in X apears a minimized "Console Log" window icon. I would like to start my computer without console log window in X. I could not find the script ou option which starts this window. Where can I disable it? I don't even know what's the name of the executable for this window. x11-base/xorg-x11 6.8.2-r6 x11-wm/windowmaker 0.92.0-r3 app-admin/sysklogd 1.4.1-r11 Any help is appreciated.

It is in /etc/X11/xdm/setup_0 where xconsole gets started. Thanks! Urs -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

What is it meant to log - as far as I can tell it just stays empty . . . -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If nothing is piped in there, it won't display anything. But in most cases the syslog daemon is configured to output some message classes, if not all, to this device as well (additional to outputting to the log file and /dev/console). So it depends on syslog configuration whether syslog messages show up here. Other programs w/ the corresponding rights on /dev/xconsole can pipe their stuff there, too, of course. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Would you mind showing a default/typical/custom (whatever) config file so that I can compare with mine? -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

But it's from a debian system... From /etc/syslog.conf: ---snip--- # The named pipe /dev/xconsole is for the `xconsole' utility. To use it, # you must invoke `xconsole' with the `-file' option: # #$ xconsole -file /dev/xconsole [...] # # NOTE: adjust the list below, or you'll go crazy if you have a reasonably # busy site.. # daemon.*;mail.*;\ news.crit;news.err;news.notice;\ *.=debug;*.=info;\ *.=notice;*.=warn |/dev/xconsole ---snip--- I don't have currently syslog-ng running, but I think I remember that similar configuration was in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf (maybe commented out?) -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
