After Carlos' recent message about NVRM, I looked at my /var/log/warn (before I realized his problem was NV specific). One thing I noticed was a bunch of warnings from org.mate.atril.Daemon[3030] that included things like
UnregisterDocument URI 'file:///tmp/mozilla_dhoworth0/UFPLS-Factsheet.pdf'
It seems wrong that the filenames of documents I'm looking at should be exposed in a public log file like that. Indeed since nothing was wrong as far as I am aware, I don't understand why there is a warning at all.
Is that an atril bug (or bugs), or am I missing something?
Why not post the entire line as is? So that we can better understand and search for similar message. Although I don't use mate, so I wouldn't see them. What is atril? Google seems to say it is a document viewer. As to your question, the log is not public, only root and root group can read them. What is it warning at? Since some years I see excessive logging at the warning level. I think I wrote a bugzilla about that, not sure. Also there is logging by default at debug level. Some desktops seem to be worse than others. And I think I read recently that things got worse because X now logs to journal instead than to file and very verbosely. There was work in progress about that. Example of messages I found similar to yours: /var/log/messages-20170426.xz:<4.5> 2017-04-26 14:43:56 Telcontar dbus 1491 - - [system] Rejected send message, 9 matched rules; type="method_return", sender=":1.3" (uid=104 pid=1531 comm="avahi-daemon: starting up ") interface="(unset)" member="(unset)" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.14480" (uid=1000 pid=6780 comm="/usr/bin/evince /tmp/mozilla_cer0/Carlos zzz ( te") /var/log/messages-20170610.xz:<4.5> 2017-04-29 21:59:15 Telcontar dbus 1469 - - [system] Rejected send message, 9 matched rules; type="method_return", sender=":1.1" (uid=104 pid=1446 comm="avahi-daemon: starting up ") interface="(unset)" member="(unset)" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.96" (uid=1000 pid=6601 comm="/usr/bin/evince /tmp/mozilla_cer0/Entradas.pdf ") which also refers to private files I was reading from mozilla. It is an error but not at warning level (it goes at level 5, "notice"). #define KERN_EMERG "<0>" /* system is unusable */ #define KERN_ALERT "<1>" /* action must be taken immediately */ #define KERN_CRIT "<2>" /* critical conditions */ #define KERN_ERR "<3>" /* error conditions */ #define KERN_WARNING "<4>" /* warning conditions */ #define KERN_NOTICE "<5>" /* normal but significant condition */ #define KERN_INFO "<6>" /* informational */ #define KERN_DEBUG "<7>" /* debug-level messages */ -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
