 |
|
I just did a major update to my system, and although the basics are working fine, I've noticed that when I exit KDE/X and drop back to the command line, there are various X and KDE-related errors that were apparently written to stdout while X was running. I would like to log these errors to a file so I can go through them and determine what they mean. I've seen a lot of stuff indicating that the file ~/.xsession-errors should be logging these messages, but I have no such file. I'm wondering if I need to make a configuration change to X to get it to write this file, or what?

If you login through kdm, then it is done by default through kdmrc (I assume gdm too).
But if you login with startx, you need to redirect output in ~/.xinitrc | Code: | | exec startkde >.xsession-errors 2>&1 |
