LXDM does not log xsession errors
Posted: Wed Nov 12, 2014 4:00 am
Hello,
I have installed LXDM on an Arch setup and it was working according to my needs but after some time I have realized that it does not log any xsession error. It indeed does create the related file (.xsession-errors) but this file remains at size 0 all the time.
I did a default install (and repeated it many times) but the behaviour stays the same. I even tried, through the startup scripts - PostLogin in this case - to force an 'alternate' log file by using
though the result is the same, the file is created (file permission is correct as far as I know - 600) but it remains empty.
I have also check the lxdm.log at /var/log but besides some gtk error messages there isn't any hint on what leads for the logging to not take place.
In order to test I have installed LightDM and, as the logging works as it should. As soon as I change back to LXDM, enabling the related lxdm.service (this is a systemd setup) the logging stops.
Any hint on what may be causing this unexpected and undesired behaviour is greatly appreciated.
