[SOLVED] getting KDE4.2 event log in .xsession-errors

Hi,

My KDE4.2 desktop started adding log entries in the .xsession-errors file. They look like this:

knotify(6768) KNotify::event: 49  ref= 0
kwin(6764)/kdeui (KNotification) KNotification::slotReceivedId: 0
kwin(6764)/kdeui (KNotification) KNotification::close: 0
kwin(6764)/kdeui (KNotification) KNotification::~KNotification: -2

Everytime I interact with the desktop (e.g. click icons or switch window), it appends those entries in the file - which compound quite fast. Does anyone know if those are real error messages which I have to fix, or just some debug messages from one of the module?

Re: [SOLVED] getting KDE4.2 event log in .xsession-errors

After looking around, it appears that KDE is appending a bunch of (debug?) messages into my .xsession-errors. I am seeing a lot of messages like the following:

startkde: Starting up...
kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/klauncher
kdeinit4: Launched KLauncher, pid = 6658 result = 0
...

Does anyone else experience this? I don't remember seeing these messages before.

Apparently I somehow got KDE4 debug packages installed on my system. I will figure out why/how it gets there, and remove them if necessary.

Re: [SOLVED] getting KDE4.2 event log in .xsession-errors

I have this problem as well.  I'm using the kdemod packages.  I agree that it's likely a debug issue, but I haven't been able to find any obvious way to stop it.  Have you found a solution for this?  I see that you added [solved] to the thread title, but I'm not sure if that's because you found a way to fix it, or just figured out that it was debugging info.

Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] getting KDE4.2 event log in .xsession-errors

I figured that the messages were debug entries but haven't found out how to fix it. I post a message in the chakra-project message board:

http://chakra-project.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?id=669

Here's hoping someone else can figure out the problem.

Agreed, I did the same yesterday. In the /home/USER/.kde4/Autostart directory, I wrote the following simple bash script:

----------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
rm /home/USER/.xsession-errors
----------------------------------------

This deletes the file .xsession-errors at startup and avoids any potential accumulated file 'buildup' and resulting wasted partition space.

According to the file /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc, it contains the following statement:

# Default is ".xsession-errors"

This indicates that kdm creates this file no matter what (default), and as far as I know, it cannot be avoided, but can be deleted upon startup.

Cheers,
