This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. This is a Lennart question. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19 This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. The needinfo request[s] on this closed bug have been removed as they have been unresolved for 1000 days |
Description of problem: Nothing on my systems appears to be 'cleansing' /var/log/ConsoleKit/history. I noticed messages in ~/.xsession-errors from ck-history complaining about kernel boot lines similar to: ** (ck-history:2013): WARNING **: Unable to parse session added event: seat-id='Seat1' session-id='Session1' session-type='LoginWindow' session-x11-display=':0' session-x11-display-device='/dev/tty7' session-display-device='' session-remote-host-name='' session-is-local=TRUE session-un1269014714.725 type=SYSTEM_START : kernel-release='2.6.34-0.10.rc1.git0.fc14.x86_64' boot-arguments='ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_tlondon-lv_root LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet intel_iommu=igfx_off' Being that I haven't run such a kernel in quiet a while, I located the history file that ck-history reads ('/var/log/ConsoleKit/history') and noticed that it was over 14000 lines long. So this file appears to 'grow and grow'. Can't image all this 'old history' is of much use. I manually cleared the file out (by moving, creating one with the last few lines of the existing one) and all appears OK (with no ck-history messages in ~/.xsession-errors). So, what is the policy for compressing this file? Or is this package due to be replaced with .... ?
