Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

One file or more could not be opened

--sm-config-prefix is not a log file.
/gnome-system-log-ttDlUO/ is not a log file.
--sm-client-id is not a log file.
117f000101000120801393400000061610004 is not a log file.
--screen is not a log file.
0 is not a log file.

Pretty obvious that its CLI binary is parsing the session management stuff thinking it's paths to log files.

Thank you for your bug report. What do you call resuming a session? Do you mean you saved a session when gnome-system-log was running?

I have automatic session saving enabled (via. Sessions Preferences -> Session Options -> "Automatically remember...")

And yes, GNOME Log Viewer was running when I logged out. The application claims it supports session saving (else it would prompt a dialogue on logout), so it should either work, or not claim to support session saving.

By the way, this is hopefully just a really simple bug in the command line parsing routine.

I have found that it happens ANY time a session is instantiated, not just on resume.
