Getting hundreds of errors in .xsession-errrors
« on: 2017/04/30, 06:46:29 »
Getting errors about painting pixels in so many milliseconds.
Everything appears to be working correctly but was just checking to see if anything was amiss and found about 8,000 lines of that type error.
System is completely up to date.
Any ideas?

I completely got rid of xsession.errors a long time ago as it is completely useless. It had stalled my workstation a couple of times over the years, when some spammy application produced hundreds of gigabytes of useless lines over night until the disk was full. That was the end of it.
Removed the file and sent future manifestations of it to the orkus:
Code: [Select]
ln -s /dev/null ~/.xsession-errors

Here is just one of the errors.

Painted 124852 pixels in 17.389227ms (127756 in the last 1000ms)

So far today they are pretty minimal but I expect them to return, kinda like in Poltergeist, "They're back." lol

Hi,
doesn't look like an error to me. More like debug information.

I think you nailed it with it's information, but, damn, a real chatty kathy if you ask me.  Wonder how to shut it up.
