Thanks for your report. This is a well-known problem, thus I removed the private flag for easier discussion. |

Hi,
I'm running Kubuntu Dapper, freshly dist-upgraded, on a Compaq Presario V2610CA laptop, with no particular esoteric configuration.
In the past 2 weeks, my disk space has been saturated **TWICE** (i.e. up to 100% occ. reported by the "df -h" command, with app. 10 MB available, just enough to be able to boot/login) by what seems an ever-groing .xsession-errors file in one user directory. i.e. /home/user). After a quick search on Google, I've found 2 similar reports (one concerning Dapper, the other OpenSuse):
http://www.nabble.com/X-error-log-t1364627.html
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2005-10/msg00044.html
However, I didn't find anything related to this problem on Launchpad...
It 's quite possible that something is going wrong with my system and is filling the .xsession-errors file with various reports. I did not have the chance to pinpoint what's going wrong since my only concern was to prevent my system from completely crashing. That's why I deleted the file without trying to look at its content (my system was saturated to a point that I could not receive one simple e-mail, Kmail complaining about the lack of disk space...). The only thing I know is that since 2 weeks, I use more frequently Skype and I have created a second user account for my wife to be able to receive her e-mails with Kmail and browse the Web with Konqueror a little bit. Nothing so complex or heavy...
Anyway, this report is not about what's going wrong with my system, but instead about the fact that an error-log file, like .xsession-errors, that is suppose to be useful to track problems, should not be the cause of a major critical problems like the lack of disk space! I don't know what would be a satifying solution, but in my case I've set up a script to errase this file in root and all user's directory at each hour, by putting an executable file with this content in /etc/cron.hourly:
rm /home/*/.xsession-errors*
rm /root/.xsession-errors*
Thanks for your attention. |

In the past 2 weeks, my disk space has been saturated **TWICE**, i.e. up to 100% occ. on a 60 GB disk with 40 GB previously free, as reported by the "df -h" command (in fact app. 10 MB was still available, just enough to be able to boot/login!).

.
* debian/local/Xsession: If ~/.xsession-errors is bigger than 0.5MiB,
truncate it to the last 0.5MiB to avoid having it grow indefinitively.
(This does not happen with gdm anyway since gdm cleans the file on login).
