The offending code is in /etc/X11/Xsession Some updates ago, code was changed to increment .xsession-errors instead of overwrite it.
/etc/X11/Xsession line 94: exec >>"$ERRFILE" 2>&1 Change it back to: exec >"$ERRFILE" 2>&1 I think reverting to the previous overwrite behaviour would be a good enough choice. This bug affect any Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu Offending package: xinit ** Attachment added: "Revert to previous overwrite behaviour" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4376511/Xsession.patch -- .xsession_errors file grows out of control & saturates disk space https://launchpad.net/bugs/60448 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
