Summary: possibility to set a max fixed size for
.xsession-errors
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
ReportedBy: jquelin at gmail.com
Version: (using Devel)
OS: Linux
Installed from: Compiled sources
~/.xsession-errors is where any notice go. however, lots of programs write in
it, which can make it take a lot of space. see some bug reports about specific
applications: #140995 #141586 #174365
i am aware that kdebugdialog can be used to limit what goes in xsession-errors.
but since looking in xsession-errors can be interesting to find problems, i'm
not convinced this is the best way to handle the problem.
therefore, i propose that kde limits ~/.xsession-errors to a fixed size, or
does some routine log rotating every x hours.
according to https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=45592#c4 it seems that
gnome enforces a fixed size of 200k for the file.
