[opensuse] where did .xsession-errors' content go in TW?
On some installations (e.g. TW/KDE3 host hpg33), there's no sign of anything like it in journalctl, in fact, nothing from journalctl ever shows up anywhere in /var/log/, and nothing I can find in ~/, while on (most TW) others, ~/.xsession-errors is still being produced. Google doesn't seem to have any useful clues to offer. There are some references to ~/.local/share/ but I couldn't find any Xorg-related content there. Problems I expect (because on TW hosts that produce .xsession-errors there are plenty) to find clues to in .xsession-errors: 1-why right click context menu for desktop does not exist 2-why systemsettings for desktop wallpaper doesn't put any wallpaper on the desktop 3-why systemsettings for display power save is ignored (~5 minutes to blanking instead of 120 minutes) -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

perhaps I'm allergic to upgrades, but #2 and #1 are related as far as I can see. I don't use systemsettings to set the wallpaper, I right click on the desktop that I use, perhaps the correct desktop is critical, and select "Default Desktop Settings". In fact I can't see any way to set the desktop wallpaper with systemsettings. But then right clicking on the desktop works for me. What desktop are you using?

Felix appears to be more of a dinosaur, as he mentioned KDE3 ffs! Its hard to know which of you guys will be grousing louder when finally dragged kicking and screaming by undomesticated equines to plasma5/kde5. Its time guys. Its been working quite nicely for a while. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I seem to recall reading here some while ago and thence setting my system so that journalctl is echoed to syslog, or at least the rsyslog that I use, and hence *also* comes out consuming duplicate disk space in /var/log. I don't feel like searching the archives for that this am, other demands on my time, but perhaps that gives a clue as to what for look for -- a configuration option. You say "on some...". What about others? How different is the syslog/systemd/journalctl configuration between them? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

[r]syslogd is not installed unless specified as the system defaults to systemd-journald. w/o [r]syslog there is no logging to /var/log, from "man systemd-journald": By default, the journal stores log data in /run/log/journal/. Since /run/ is volatile, log data is lost at reboot. To make the data persistent, it is sufficient to create /var/log/journal/ where systemd-journald will then store the data: mkdir -p /var/log/journal systemd-tmpfiles --create --prefix /var/log/journal systemd-journald will forward all received log messages to the AF_UNIX/SOCK_DGRAM socket /run/systemd/journal/syslog, if it exists, which may be used by Unix syslog daemons to process the data further. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
