Thanks for pointing that out Steve. I moved an existing /home/ mount into the Jaunty environment. Now you've jogged my memory I think I do recall that with the default Jaunty user profile I saw a bunch of log- file warnings too. Now I only see one for /var/log/acpid.
The reason for it is that on package gnome-utils the gnome-log-viewer code has the defaults hard-coded in. logview/logview-prefs.c: static char *default_logfiles[] = { "/var/log/sys.log", #ifndef ON_SUN_OS "/var/log/messages", "/var/log/secure", "/var/log/maillog", "/var/log/cron", "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", "/var/log/auth.log", "/var/log/cups/error_log", #else so what we need is a simple patch to alter the defaults ** Attachment added: "Jaunty debdiff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/22902041/gnome-utils_2.25.90-0ubuntu2.debdiff -- gnome-system-log attempts to open bogus/inexistent logfiles https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/318689 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
