[ Wiki ] Xorg. Broken redirection.

Hello.

From https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xo … edirection:

While user Xorg logs are stored in ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.log, they do not include the output from the X session. To re-enable redirection, start X with the -keeptty flag:

exec startx -- -keeptty > ~/.xorg.log 2>&1

But then you get a double flag -keeptty. Take a look in htop.

My suggestion:

To re-enable redirection, start X with:

exec startx > ~/.Xoutput.log 2>&1

Or am I wrong?

Re: [ Wiki ] Xorg. Broken redirection.

I think the keeptty paramater in the wiki example is needed to preserve the logind session with redirection ..
