Say what you wish. Here are two facts: 1) GDM should not explode because its logging directory doesn't exist. Logging is strictly a feature. This statement goes along with every other program that does not inherently require logging. 2) A non-trivial quantity of users will have GDM fail because its logging directory doesn't exist.
GDM can a) recreate its logging directory structure, or b) emit a warning; both of these methods are foolproof, simple, and safe. All in all, the dangers of keeping current behavior are great while changing behavior to something less flawed is extremely redeeming. -- gdm fails to start if /var/log/gdm does not exist https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/405227 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
