Hello,
just recently i noticed that my .xsession-errors on Mageia 1 has grown quite a
bit:
[doktor5000@mageia1 ~]$ ls -lah .xsession-errors
-rw------- 1 doktor5000 doktor5000 1,2G Sep 3 10:46 .xsession-errors
I already disabled all KDE debug information via kdebugdialog, which i needed
earlier,
but GTK/GLIB seems to give a flood of messages like the ones below:
(transmission-gtk:16147): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from
`GtkTreeView' to `GtkProgress'
(transmission-gtk:16147): Gtk-CRITICAL **:
IA__gtk_progress_get_current_percentage: assertion `GTK_IS_PROGRESS
(progress)' failed
(transmission-gtk:16147): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from
`GtkTreeView' to `GtkProgress'
(transmission-gtk:16147): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from
`GtkTreeView' to `GtkProgress'
(transmission-gtk:16147): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from
`GtkTreeView' to `GtkProgressBar'
(transmission-gtk:16147): Gtk-CRITICAL **:
IA__gtk_progress_bar_get_orientation: assertion `GTK_IS_PROGRESS_BAR
(pbar)' failed
[doktor5000@mageia1 ~]$ grep GLib-GObject-WARNING .xsession-errors | wc -l
166425
[doktor5000@mageia1 ~]$ grep Gtk-CRITICAL .xsession-errors | wc -l
83470
Can anyone give me a hint how to disable those, please? And how to proceed with
the cause, those messages should clearly be suppressed, as transmission works
correct
and such a growth of .xsession-error is totally wrong. It also makes it really
hard
to find real, legitimate error messages in .xsession-errors.
Also this can lead to real problems, like in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2010-10/msg00927.html
filling up the root partition, which can cause quite some problems to normal
users,
if they have no seperate /home partition. The only workarounds i have found so
far
suggest removing .xsession-errors and linking it to /dev/null after each X
login,
but this seems really ugly to me.
Regards
