Hi, I have a Gnome 3 desktop running on Debian Jessie. My /var/log/messages keeps blowing up to over 8 GB. When I study the log, it looks like about 95% of the messages are Gnome debugging messages. A lot of that 95% are debug messages from various apps using glib or gtk, and a lot of it is Gnome Shell warnings repeated thousands of times. I've heard of ways to put a limit on the log size, but what I really want to do is reduce a lot of that Gnome debug "clutter" so only the smaller set of important messages are in the log. Is there some global Gnome option somewhere that reduces the logging level for all Gnome-based programs? That would be the ideal solution, I think. Alternatively, if I could figure out an easy way to redirect those Gnome messages elsewhere, that might be sufficient. -- Christopher Howard Computer Assistant Alaska Satellite Internet 3239 La Ree Way Fairbanks, Alaska 99709 1-888-396-5623 https://alaskasatelliteinternet.com personal web site: https://qlfiles.net
