Description Jörg Spilker 2005-11-17 11:50:55 UTC

i recently updated KDE to the latest version from the supplementary directory and now .xession-errors is growing rapidly. It´s seems as if file notification events are logged by every running kde application. I had to cut the file to zero length every 12 hours to avoid a full home directory. Is there any switch to remove this kind of debug messages?

Comment 1 Dirk Mueller 2005-11-17 12:14:24 UTC

did you update to the version from today (3.5rc1)?

Comment 2 Jörg Spilker 2005-11-17 13:28:20 UTC

No, i updated from ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_10.0 where release 3.4.3-2 is still available

hmm, what is part of that .xsession-errors? the only debug output ever added to file notifications was added to 3.5

Lots of lines like this

deleting the file and restarting kde shows about 600.000 lines in the file after 1/2 hour.

According to lsof, only kde application have opened the file, not my running gnome apps.

that's kat. please report it directly to the kat developers (at bugs.kde.org) - whatever you run in the background that creates tons of these temporary files, it's causing this kat events. And as kat is in very early development, it's generating lots of debug

Comment 6 Jörg Spilker 2005-11-17 21:28:47 UTC

Well, thanks for your diagnostics. After disabling kat, everything is fine. I will report to bugs.kde.org.
