http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1050328 Bug ID: 1050328 Summary: Detection of error log redirection broken in /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org Assignee: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: stefan.bruens@rwth-aachen.de QA Contact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Xsession tries to detect if the Display Manager already has redirected the stderr output to a file: --- do stderr=$(readlink -f /dev/stderr 2>/dev/null) # Some DM seem to handle this them self case "$stderr" in /var/*|/tmp/*|/dev/*) ;; *) break esac ... --- which is an ingenious piece of code, as "readlink -f /dev/stderr 2>/dev/null" is always "/dev/null". Removing the redirection (" 2>/dev/null") fixes the detection. This is broken since at least oS 13.2. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
