GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 547273
GNOME Log Viewer pops up an error on resuming a session
Last modified: 2008-10-23 18:01:03 UTC
the bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-utils/+bug/216377 "One file or more could not be opened --sm-config-prefix is not a log file. /gnome-system-log-ttDlUO/ is not a log file. --sm-client-id is not a log file. 117f000101000120801393400000061610004 is not a log file. --screen is not a log file. 0 is not a log file. Pretty obvious that its CLI binary is parsing the session management stuff thinking it's paths to log files. I have automatic session saving enabled (via. Sessions Preferences -> Session Options -> "Automatically remember...") And yes, GNOME Log Viewer was running when I logged out. The application claims it supports session saving (else it would prompt a dialogue on logout), so it should either work, or not claim to support session saving."
There was some code in there for session handling, but as it doesn't work, and it doesn't seem to be this useful either, I removed it (I might add it again and fix it if one day we'll have a working SM client inside GLib/GTK+). I also removed libgnome usage while I was at it (but we still link to it due to gnome-vfs). 2008-10-23 Cosimo Cecchi <cosimoc@gnome.org> * logview.c: (logview_help): * main.c: (create_option_context): (main): Remove libgnome usage; drop SM client code, as it doesn't work (#547273).
