It was working OK, but filled syslog with useless gibberish. The solution was to filter problematic messages out. Reco

See, I have boinc processes running on my machine which, due to a long standing bug of proper DISPLAY detection to identify user activity, spams every second my syslog with this message: Jul 9 23:19:48 fusion boinc[653]: No protocol specified Jul 9 23:19:49 fusion boinc[653]: No protocol specified Jul 9 23:19:50 fusion boinc[653]: No protocol specified Inspired by your intervention I created, in my configuration tree, a file /etc/rsyslog.d/boinc.conf containing: :msg, isequal, " No protocol specified" stop Then restarted the logging service: # invoke-rc.d rsylog restart Spam from boinc is no more. :) Kind Regards, -- Étienne Mollier 5AB1 4EDF 63BB CCFF 8B54 2FA9 59DA 56FE FFF3 882D signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

There are no filters in journald. Rebuilding gpm without HAVE_VSYSLOG flag may also help. Reco
gpm messages
Is there a way to get gpm to quit issuing these messages?
