[newbie] ~/.xsession-errors ??
Greetings, I have a newbie question about the file, ~/.xsession-errors. Just what is the purpose of this file? I haven't heard it mentioned, and I was wondering if it is useful for debugging. I keep an eye on it and notice some messages that seem significant. The following is an excerpt of recurring messages: kdecore (KLibLoader): WARNING: KLibrary: /usr/lib/libkdecore.so.4: undefined symbol: init_kcm_konq kdecore (KLibLoader): WARNING: KLibrary: The library kcm_konq does not offer an init_kcm_konq function kdecore (KLibLoader): WARNING: KLibrary: /usr/lib/libkdecore.so.4: undefined symbol: init_kcm_konq kdecore (KLibLoader): WARNING: KLibrary: The library kcm_konq does not offer an init_kcm_konq function KCookieJar already running.

[newbie] xsession-errors - can anyone explain ?
After installing 8.2 my KDE seems to load in a very bureacratic pace - to say the least. To investigate this I compared two hiden files in my /home/kaj directory : the .xsession-errors from 8.1 and 8.2 , respectively. Under 8.1 this file only mention something about DCOP-server up and running (whatever that means) - nothing more. Under 8.2 this file gets huge. I'll spare your bandwidth and only cite an excerpt : kdeinit: Launched DCOPServer, pid = 1499 result = 0 DCOP: register 'anonymous-1496' - number of clients is now 1 DCOP: unregister 'anonymous-1496' DCOP: register 'anonymous-1499' - number of clients is now 1 DCOPServer up and running. DCOP: register 'ksplash' - number of clients is now 2 DCOP: unregister 'anonymous-1499' kdeinit: Launched KLauncher, pid = 1503 result = 0 DCOP: register 'klauncher' - number of clients is now 2 DCOP: unregister 'klauncher' DCOP: register 'klauncher' - number of clients is now 2 DCOP: register 'anonymous-1503' - number of clients is now 3 DCOP: new daemon klauncher DCOP: unregister 'anonymous-1503' kdeinit: Launched KDED, pid = 1506 result = 0 DCOP: register 'kded' - number of clients is now 2 DCOP: unregister 'kded' DCOP: register 'kded' - number of clients is now 2 DCOP: register 'anonymous-1506' - number of clients is now 3 DCOP: register 'anonymous-1507' - number of clients is now 4 kdeinit: Got EXEC_NEW 'kbuildsycoca' from launcher. DCOP: register 'kbuildsycoca' - number of clients is now 5 file . . and so it goes on for about 5 kilobytes ! Needles to say : it's the same box, same X-server etc... What's going on ?

Had a look at the processes using gtop after deleting the file and discovered a couple of netscape sub-processes chewing away. Netscape was not supposed to be running at that point. After these processes were killed the problem went away, and never reappeared. This was 7.2 - no need to reinstall. So, have a look for rogue processes if it does ever recur. The origin of the errors was a mystery but I had the impression that the messages were supposed to go to a terminal and the processes could not find one (?). Finally I reinstall LM 8.0.
