Bug ID: 412705
Summary: Konsole leaves hundreds of megabytes in thousands of
temp history files
Product: konsole
Version: unspecified
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: history
Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org
Reporter: termt...@rogers.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Every week I must manually clean out thousands of
konsole-*.history temporary files from /tmp totaling
hundreds of megabytes.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use konsole for some days or weeks.
OBSERVED RESULT
Low disk space on drive, sometimes causing complete
failure to boot system.
Must manually clean them out from /tmp, sometimes
from another distro before even being able to boot.
Average user has no clue what is going on behind their back,
and why the system won't boot.
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be no history files hanging around
when konsole is not running.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please make konsole clean up after itself when it closes.
Even better: When konsole starts, please check if stale history
file are hanging around and delete them before continuing.
(Can you see the bizarre irony that these are supposed to be
'temporary' files but they hang around forever?)
Thank you.
