Good morning, I have a question regarding timestamps in Debian package logs. One of my biggest frustrations when troubleshooting problems with Xorg, for example, is that the .xsession-errors and Xorg.log entries are not time stamped.
I have already complained about Xorg timestamps on debian-users and there are bug reports on this but I am curious why they are not part of Debian's policy. I am guessing that many other packages are guilty of the same and I'm sure to discover them as they fail. I understand that many logs get rotated regularly allowing a smarter person than I to figure out which logs apply to which sessions. Especially after a crash or a forced reboot, though, it helps to know whether the log output you are reading is from the current session or the one that just failed. Therefore, can I get some feedback on why timestamps aren't required in Debian logs? With thanks, Borden Rhodes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
