[opensuse] kodi logging in the wine directories
Why is kodi logging under .wine? I just did a search to find if kodi made any logs. I was very surprised to find a log in /home/piglet/home/dhoworth/.wine/dosdevices/y:/.kodi/temp/kodi.log /home/piglet/home/dhoworth/ is a data directory where I keep most of my personal files. Lots of things have symbolic links from /home/dhoworth to there because there is more space there. e.g. /home/dhoworth/Pictures -> ../piglet/home/dhoworth/Pictures/ .wine is there because in the dim and distant past it used to actually be my home directory and in those dim and distant days I occasionally used wine, but I haven't used it for ages. So why has the newly installed kodi decided to write a log in such an obscure place? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

$ ls -l /home/piglet/home/dhoworth/.wine/dosdevices/y: It's probably a symlink to somewhere else. Like /home/dhoworth. So kodi is actually logging to ~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log. -dnh -- Debating unix flavors in the context of anything Microsoft is like talking about which ice cream flavor tastes least like sawdust with turpentine sauce. -- stolen from Joe Zeff's sig -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Answering myself, it's because .wine/dosdevices/y: is a symlink to my home directory. I've just removed the whole .wine tree to avoid confusing myself in the future. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
