[kdelibs] [Bug 389646] Syslog 100's thousands of lines with kdeinit5 / KConfigIni errors
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389646 --- Comment #7 from Ski --- It's taken few days for the bug to re-appear, but below is the result of "ps -x", redirected into a text file, where even that text file caused the error text to get logged into syslog! ps -x https://pastebin.com/TeHXDbGg And the syslog entries because of this "ps -x" text file..

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389646 Christoph Feck changed: What|Removed |Added CC||cf...@kde.org --- Comment #6 from Christoph Feck --- So to understand you correctly, something tries to open regular text files as configuration files, and this surely leeds to parsing errors. If you can reproduce this, could you use 'ps -x' in Konsole to find out which application or process actually does this? The information "kdeinit[15348]" unfortunately only reveals the process ID. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389646 --- Comment #5 from Ski --- (In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #4) > In the bug description, you replaced the config file name with "In file > whatever". Unless you show us the actual file names, we cannot proceed with > this issue. Sorry, I edited a bit too much out of the original report in the file names. The file can be named "whatever.txt" - the bug is the same whatever the text file name actually is. It only affects text files, and looks like it only specifically affects .txt extension, as no other text files (config etc) are shown in the log files. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389646 --- Comment #3 from Ski --- Sorry for the delay in replying. The problem text is put into /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages, both become huge with the error, and if not caught, can make the system unstable, or hard to reboot when it eventually fills up /var . There is a "temporary" workaround, but not an acceptable one. You can move all the text files out of the user's home directory, and put it in any sub-directory, but the bug remains. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
