*Lots* of DEBUG messages from GsmDBusClient

[Daniel Cordeiro]

Binary package hint: gnome-session

Hi,

I'm not sure whether this is a real bug or not, but my ~/.xsession-errors always have lots and lots of error messages coming from gnome-session. Most of the times, the error is this one:

** (gnome-session:1560): DEBUG: GsmDBusClient: obj_path=/org/freedesktop/DBus interface=org.freedesktop.DBus method=NameOwnerChanged

But there are other error coming from gnome-session. I'm attaching my .xsession-errors in this bug report.

If this is a real error message, what can be causing it? Else, if this is just a "debug" message, then why debug log is enabled in the final version distributed in Ubuntu?

Best regards,
Daniel

Just for info, this is happening also in Ubuntu Natty.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version. Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.

I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and my ~/.xsessions still has lots and lots of debug messages coming from gnome-session.

Just upgraded from Maverick to Natty and 'DEBUG: GsmDBusClient: obj_path=/org/freedesktop/DBus interface=org.freedesktop.DBus method=NameOwnerChanged' messages are spamming .xsession-errors. At first I thought it might be a user configuration issue, so I created a new user and logged in. I watched the log go from around 60 KB - I've only logged in with this user for a short amount of time and the file is now at 183.5 MB and growing!

The system is using Ubuntu Classic (it doesn't have the graphics for Unity).

Note: This bug appears to be the same/similar as:

[Flood of DEBUG messages in .xsession-errors ]

[NoOp (glgxg)]

Shut it down at 247.2MB. Also figured out how to trigger at will; open
~/.xsession-errors using gedit. This does not happen on my 10.10
Maverick system, only on the maverick system that was upgraded to natty.

That version is no more supported

Sorry that this bug report could not be resolved before the Ubuntu version expired. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since then, and the bug may have been fixed. If you still have the problem with a current version of Ubuntu, please reopen this report.
