I am not able to log on my computer (12.04), and I noticed that everytime lightdm failed to log me in, there is a .goutputsteam-xxxx file and a sedxxxx file created under my home directory.
my computer runs nis/autofs with a home directory mapped on a file server. I believe the bug I've seen is related to Bug #1004515, but not sure how it is related to this bug. just post here in case someone can make sense of it. fangq@wazu:~$ ls -alt | more total 15992 drwxr-x--- 138 fangq fangq 16384 Sep 3 13:30 . -rw------- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 13:30 .goutputstream-8P402W -rw-r--r-- 1 fangq fangq 35 Sep 3 13:30 .pam_environment -rw-r--r-- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 13:30 sedP678ir -rw------- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 13:12 .goutputstream-YAHQ2W -rw-r--r-- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 13:12 sedHOLePA -rw------- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 13:10 .goutputstream-NXX42W -rw-r--r-- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 13:10 sedwABtEH -rw------- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 12:58 .goutputstream-43DV2W -rw-r--r-- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 12:58 sedmB4jfg -rw------- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 12:54 .goutputstream-NOGN2W -rw-r--r-- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 12:54 sedCaKDJQ -rw------- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 12:54 .goutputstream-ERC02W -rw-r--r-- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 12:54 sedBNUaTe -rw------- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 12:53 .goutputstream-IY752W -rw-r--r-- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 12:53 sed0tAN1Q -rw------- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 12:51 .goutputstream-793R2W -rw-r--r-- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 12:51 sedp2WKJN -rw------- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 12:51 .goutputstream-L8PR2W -rw-r--r-- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 12:51 sedqj5rwG -rw------- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 12:49 .goutputstream-MJ0S2W -rw-r--r-- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 12:49 sed0V3DkN -rw------- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 12:49 .goutputstream-GSVP2W -rw-r--r-- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 12:49 sedGnzVh8 -rw------- 1 fangq fangq 0 Sep 3 12:48 .bash_history -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to glib2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984785 Title: .goutputstream files polluting $HOME Status in The "G" Library - GLib: Fix Released Status in Light Display Manager: Fix Released Status in X.Org X server: New Status in “glib2.0” package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “glib2.0” source package in Precise: Triaged Status in “lightdm” source package in Precise: Invalid Bug description: .goutputstream files polluting $HOME.
