I have finally got my box up and running reliably! Who knew a bios update could fix constant hangs and crashes. :? The WAF is going through the roof! Well...almost.

I seem to have an issue with my .xsession-error log. It keeps growing and growing. After about 20 days, it will be about 1.2G and freeze the whole system. I then get the boot error of MYSQL being full etc..

From a little research, it sounds as if .xsession-error logs generally don't grow very big and when they do it usually means something is up. Again, my system has never worked as good as it is now day to day. But looking at the log it seems to be posting 20 times every .001 second!! Take a look:

Any ideas? There are thousands of pages of this error! Search of the forums here only offered this in one post which isn't an issue there. So I have 2 questiones: What is this? Can I fix it? If not, what is the best way to rotate this log? Ok, so that was 3. Thanks for taking a look.

Alright! I finally got to the end of the log. Looks like that error stopped at some point. Here's what the log looks like now:

I'm still trying to figure out the earlier error. And is rm the best way to rotate the file? Thanks.

You can check out "man logrotate" for how to set this up to rotate, but it takes a bit of work and really isn't worth it for this file (IMHO).

I just do the following as user mythtv:
Code:
cd
rm .xsession-error
ln -s /dev/null .xsession-error


Edited to fix typo

I assume you meant /dev/null?

Interesting solution - I might just give it a shot!

Sounds like it will keep the log from overtaking the partition. I had to research it a bit. I do have a question though.

Will I be able to view this log if I ever need to after setting up the link? I'm sorry if this is a basic question, but linux is only a hobby for me and I still have a lot to learn.

thanks.

In a word, no.
/dev/null redirects the output to a black hole from which you can never retrieve it.

Yep! That's what I thought.

This is where it would be good to know what that 522M is all about before sending it off into infinity.
:wink:
