Can XnViewMP run without huge amount of logging data?

Posted: Fri Jan 25, 2019 9:43 am

Using XnViewMP on linux

All actions result in vast amount of logging - is there a command switch to disable this please?

I know it's supposed to be useful and there have been cases where it is - but most of the time it's just loads of writes to my SSD.

Thanks

1. What logging do you see?
2. How (with what tool) do you see it?

if you start XnViewMP from a terminal?

The logging data produced is the same whether you run from cli or from the menu.

This is from my session run.log file as defined by LXDE

Re: Can XnViewMP run without huge amount of logging data?

As an update to this - so far the simple solution is to run xnview from a terminal session using

Code: Select all

nohup xnview > /dev/null 2>&1
this redirects all the cruft to /dev/null and also allows the terminal session to be close while leaving the program running.

Probably do some fiddling around to create a launcher for this -

UPDATE
1. Created text file

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
nohup xnview > /dev/null 2>&1
Saved to ~/.local/share/applications as goxnview.sh
Need to make that executable using chmod +x or by amending Properties>Permissions and check executable box.

2. In ~/.local/share/applications create desktop file

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=XnView Multi Platform
GenericName=XnViewMP
Comment=Graphic viewer, browser, converter
Exec=/home/YOURUSERNAME/.local/share/applications/goxnview.sh
Terminal=false
Icon=/opt/XnView/xnview.png
Categories=Graphics;
StartupNotify=true
MimeType=image/bmp;image/jpeg;image/png;image/tiff;image/gif;
Amend user name to fit and save as XnView.desktop

The only file that seems affected in my machine is ~/.cache/lxsession/LXDE/run.log
Which is actually a symlink to /boot/run.log
Is it the same to you?

I don't like it because my /boot partition is not encrypted so I see this as a possible privacy or security breach.

I'll have to keep a watch on that file for some time to see if it contains anything useful ever. If not, I will probably replace it with a symlink to /dev/null or maybe some file in /tmp since /tmp is mounted on RAM. It's an idea.

Hi

See above for details of workaround for all that logging.

Intrinsically there's nothing wrong with it - it is just not efficient.

As regards your run.log - that is puzzling.

My .xsession-errors file shows this

** Message: main.vala:99: Session is Lubuntu
** Message: main.vala:100: DE is LXDE
** Message: main.vala:131: log directory: /home/robin/.cache/lxsession/Lubuntu
** Message: main.vala:132: log path: /home/robin/.cache/lxsession/Lubuntu/run.log

Which means the file lives in the right place. I'm guessing this is defined in the lxsession but haven't looked in detail.

IF on your system it lives in /boot/run.log which is then symlinked to create a linked version in your ~/.cache/lxsession/LXDE/ then that's probably OK but very odd as it's a user session file and it makes no sense that it would be arranged that way. It would mean user session data being written to a file in /boot which just seems wrong. I'm guessing you installed from the Debian 9.x lxde iso? I haven't looked at that but may download and try it live to see what it does.

In the last couple of days I've switched back from Lubuntu to my old favourite Q4OS which runs the old KDE 3.5 DE on Debian (Stretch)

That's why I wanted to find a dev null solution as most DE's put all the logging through .xsession-errors and I've not found a way to mount that in tmpfs yet!!!
