Hi,
This post refers to a DEPRECATED KDE version: 3.0.3. Last night (2003-07-02) or close to then, my MDK 9.0 user account incurred a /home/myusername/.xsession-errors file which is 903.3 MEGABYTES in size.
I imagine this is "fixed" in later versions, assuming anyone experienced, reported, and then received a fix for it. Can anyone sugges what would cause this file to balloon to this size? This file has a "Modified" date of 07/02/03 03:23 pm and an "Accessed:" date of 12/21/02 04:45 pm.
However, the file only grew recently, as I sighted over 1.2 GB avail space. Currently 579.3 GB are free.. I THINK. Well, I think I had 850 MB free, and that was only maybe a month ago.
The top of fhe file, as seen in Konqueror (as user ROOT) is:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
xsetroot: unable to open display ':0'
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified ...
xmodmap: unable to open display ':0'
WARNING: imwheel is not checking/writing a pid file, BE CAREFUL!
An imwheel may be running already.
TWO or more imwheel processes on the same X display,
or simultaneously using a wheel fifi,
.....
My track pad and mouse work simultaneously, to my pleasure.
BUT... If I scroll the Konqueror view down quickly or hit CTRL + END, or try to jump to the bottom of the file, my system (laptop, Sony VAIO, PCG FX-215) simply locks up. HARD. No console switching works. Caps Lock doesnt work. I didn't try remote access from an adjacent machine, but in my past exper this doesn't gain access in this state.
Yes, I'll get an upgrade to 9.1 when I get more money. For all the times I've snapped when people said they couldn't afford more memory or this or that, not it's happening to me: I can't spend $199---YET. I prefer as my MO to buy the ProSuite or biggest version I can.
Thanks for any input.. ITMT, I think I will delete the file, although performance (speed) seems unaffected..
