It still seems to be using the the *same* .xsession.errors thru log out/ins & restarts except parts are overwritten So after a full day that includes numerous log out/ins & restarts the file would be 4 -5000 lines, even after a full restart.
Hard to make sense of because new entries can go anywhere. As example deleted the file, did a full restart, after login it looked normal, about 50 lines Then opened, closed firefox which wrote (appended), some lines, started ccsm which always writes. Some of the ccsm lines went to end, some disappeared, the rest in middle. Then did a log out/in, followed by full restart. Attached is file after that - notice that some lines only seen when restarting are found at the end so it's not a completely overwritten file -rw------- 1 doug doug 8081 Mar 26 04:02 .xsession-errors ** Attachment added: ".xsession-errors" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/951597/+attachment/2939063/+files/.xsession-errors -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/951597 Title: 1.1.7 : breaks xsession-errors, no more rotated Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Precise i386, logged as gnome-classic Usually we was starting a new xsession-errors log on each log out/in or cold boot. But since a few days its no more the case. Downgrading lightdm/liblightdm-gobject to 1.1.6 restores previous behavior, see nothing in the changelog for 1.1.7 other than 'new upstream' As i'm using lightdm-gtk-greeter instead of the default unity-greeter, i'm wondering if lightdm-gtk-greeter 1.0.6-0ubuntu4 is fully compatible with lightdm 1.1.7-0ubuntu1 ?
