Bug#941851: gnome-session very chatty, outputs a lot of DEBUG messages to the journal

[Michael Biebl]

Package: gnome-session-bin
Version: 3.34.0-3
Severity: normal

Since the update to a systemd manages gnome-session, I noticed that the
journal has a lot of gnome-session debug messages:
Okt 06 17:09:05 pluto gnome-session-binary[25218]: DEBUG(+): GsmXSMPClient: xsmp_finalize (0x7f228c003570 [thunderbird 10a28f26b0bd119f6c157037446073972500000252180097])
Okt 06 17:09:05 pluto gnome-session-binary[25218]: DEBUG(+): GsmClient: disposing /org/gnome/SessionManager/Client24
Okt 06 17:09:05 pluto gnome-session-binary[25218]: DEBUG(+): GsmManager: Client removed: /org/gnome/SessionManager/Client24
Okt 06 17:09:05 pluto gnome-session-binary[25218]: DEBUG(+): GsmStore: Unreffing object: 0x7f228c003570
Okt 06 17:09:05 pluto gnome-session-binary[25218]: DEBUG(+): GsmManager: unable to find application for client - not restarting
Okt 06 17:09:05 pluto gnome-session-binary[25218]: DEBUG(+): GsmManager: disconnect client: /org/gnome/SessionManager/Client24
Okt 06 17:09:05 pluto gnome-session-binary[25218]: DEBUG(+): GsmManager: disconnect client


$ journalctl -b | grep gnome-session-binary | grep DEBUG | wc -l
43947


$ uptime
 17:12:44 up  3:16,  3 users,  load average: 0,13, 0,38, 0,42

That's quite a bit of debug output for 3h of uptime.


Regards,
Michael
