I came to this report here from bug #430705. I had the initial impression that this thing here was intended to provide a solution for that one. However, at least in its current form, it does not:
The errors I am concerned with are generated by the xkbcomp binary, and don't match the glib pattern quoted above. I just did update to Karmic Beta, and confirmed that there is no magic wrapping these lines into glib error lines. Unfortunately I can think of no way to easily recognize the xkbcomp errors as such. So properly extracting them from the concatenated log is probably impossible, and bug #328980 a cleaner solution in the long run. For the specific error message I have in mind, however, you could probably add a suitable regexp: '^Error: *No Symbols named' This at least handles the case I encountered in bug #328980 and will help diagnose similar errors. To be more generic, one could turn all occurrences of the "ERROR3" macro in the xkbcomp sources into patterns, but I don't know if that would be worth the effort. Would you consider adding the regexp above, or is there a reason not to? -- would be nice to send xsessions-errors warnings and errors https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431807 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
