If you then find the bug is still present in the newer Ubuntu version, please add a comment here telling us which new version it is in and change the bug status to Confirmed. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1011207 Title: Xsession ERRFILE .xsession-errors should move to /tmp/ to enhance HDD power saving Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: /etc/X11/Xsession places ERRFILE into users home directory which conflicts with possible HDD power saving settings by causing occasional writes done by logging misbehaving apps/drivers. The Xsession has provisions for placing it into /tmp but that path is only taken if users home directory is unwritable. This slight oversight is easily fixed by relocating the default ERRFILE into /tmp.
