Bug ID: 361621 Summary: kdeinit5 and other plasma 5 tools fill syslog with too many messages Product: frameworks-kinit Version: 5.18.0 Platform: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: fa...@kde.org Reporter: michal.petru...@kde.koniiiik.org CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org kdeinit5, kscreen_backend_launcher, kwin_x11, xembedsniproxy, and a bunch of other programs keep writing massive amounts of verbose messages into the syslog, making it pretty much impossible to find any meaningful messages in there. On kde4, these messages were all logged on stderr, which means they ended up in the user's .xsession-errors instead of the global system log. IMO, the user's homedir is where they belong, since all those messages are only ever relevant to the user running the plasma/kde session, and moreover, most systems I have worked with do not grant access to system logs to regular users.
