[Bug 775204] Re: Please Backport Firefox 4
Well, I think most people would consider Firefox 4 to be perfectly stable. No one forces you to use a backported version though, you can always use the 3.6 version in the normal lucid repos. Thanks for your comment but I would prefer to use backports, rather than a 3rd party repository.

[Bug 771661] Re: Allow .xsession-errors to be a symlink
I can confirm that the version of gdm in lucid-proposed functions as expected. Specifically I tested that changing .xsession-errors to a symlink both does not get overwritten and that the symlink destination gets created if it does not exist. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backporters, which is subscribed to lucid-backports. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771661 Title: Allow .xsession-errors to be a symlink -- ubuntu-backports mailing list ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports

Same here, tested gdm 2.30.2.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu5.2 from lucid proposed, and it preserve .xsession-errors being a symlink across reboot and session logout.

+
+Don't rename .xsession-errors to .xsession-errors.old if the file is a symlink.
+The later code will truncate the file to zero anyway, so even in that case
+the file won't grow indefinitely.
+
+This is handy when the home directory is on NFS and you want to avoid network
+contention when there are buggy programs which spam .xsession-errors.
