Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gdm When programs are running under a gdm-managed session, it redirects their standard output and standard error to ${HOME}/.xsession-errors of the user running the session. However, it will stop logging to this file once it grows too large for gdm's taste, making it basically impossible to do routine X client troubleshooting after you've kept your session open for a few days (depending somewhat on how chatty your X clients are, of course). It would be nice if there was a way at least to redirect error messages to a volatile location even after this happens, such as a local socket; or perhaps more usefully, the other way around: make /dev/gdm-errors (or whatever) contain the current log, and copy it to .xsession-errors as before, up to the cut-off point. ** Affects: gdm Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: gdm (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #459293 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=459293 ** Also affects: gdm via http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=459293 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #303346 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=303346 ** Also affects: gdm (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=303346 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 15027 gdm: Suppresses X logging with "Too much output" -- Stops logging after .xsession-errors grows large https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162991 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
