Title:
lightdm uses a hardcoded path to .xsession-errors, please make it
configurable
Status in Light Display Manager:
Confirmed
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
LightDM uses always $HOME/.xsession-errors as the log file because is
harcoded in xsession.c. But sometimes you want to use a logfile
outside your $HOME, suposse your $HOME is in an SSD and you want to
minimize writes, so you want to put it in /tmp/${USER}_xsession-errors
for example. If you try to make a $HOME/.xsession_errors ->
/tmp/{$USER}_xsession-errors symlink to cheat LightDM, then LightDM
will recreate the $HOME/.xsession_errors file and the hack will not
work.
LightDM _always_ recreates $HOME/.xsession_errors and you can't change
it without recompiling. So, I think this log file needs to be
configurable, or at least preserve the symlink if one is present.
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
LightDM 1.2.1-0ubuntu1
