[Solved] Disabling KDE "usage" log in tty when using xinit?

algorythm · 2010-03-23 18:28:57

So my case is that I start KDE(mod) with xinit (no login managers) but the tty in which I auto-execute the "xinit" command from gets a huge log of all the bull*hit that's happening in KDE.

So is there like any --no-log parameters for xinit or KDE ?

Afaik this is the result of the debug build that Chakra uses. No ide how to disable this at runtime but now you have another word to search for. :-)

Thanks for your response, much appreaciate . But if you mean the "-debug packages", no this is not. Either way this also happens (and it supposed to by default) with vanilla KDE. This just the same kinda log you get when e.g. running "dolphin" or "kate" in terminal, you know?

But the problem is that those messages are only meant for the kde devs and I couldn't care less of seeing all that output myself.. in fact not with any kde app I run from terminal.

could just redirect the output to /dev/null,

xinit >/dev/null

if that doesn't work, try adding 2>&1 to the end of it

xinit >/dev/null 2>&1

although if for some reason an error occurred it wouldn't appear if you had to add 2>&1 .
