Hi, Does anyone know if there's a way to configure xconsole to not display control characters (at least that's what I think it is)? Currently xconsole displays this when XDM starts:
[32;01m*[0m Setting clock via the NTP client 'ntpdate' ... [A[152C [34;01m[ [32;01mok[34;01m ][0m [32;01m*[0m Starting postfix (/etc/postfix) ... [A[152C [34;01m[ [32;01mok[34;01m ][0m I've tried google but it seems my search skills are somewhat lacking... or noone else has this problem. The file where xconsole is started: /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 ... which contains this: xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn fixed \ -exitOnFail #xterm -C -geometry 480x130-0-0 -fn fixed -title "Xconsole" Which doesn't really make it any clearer... I've tried to switch between xconsole and xterm but the xterm one will expand and cover the whole screen so that I can't see the login prompt... I'm running a stable system and the xdm version installed is 1.1.8, xconsole is 1.0.3-r1. Any help is very much appreciated! Merry Christmas! Peter K
