Hi *,
after installing this snapshot I have lots of new warning messages in my
journal logs: This is caused by this change:
==== libqt5-qtbase ====
- Enable journald support (boo#1050461)
so instead of arriving in ~/.local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log, they get written into the systemd journal now.
This doesn't only affect plasma and applications started by it, but all applications using the Qt logging facilities started without a connected terminal.
That there's quite a lot of additional journal messages now was a concern for the change, but it's rather minor compared to the benefit of having a more complete journal.
Also note, although the output is currently *too* verbose in general, this should and can be fixed on the calling site: 1) by fixing errors in the first place 2) by demoting log levels of debug messages, i.e. only keeping *real warnings* 3) by lowering the default log level to warning This helps both users and developers. Developers can request more informational messages from users, users get more helpful messages by default in the first place. There is already work happening to address all three issues, but this will take some time.
