$HOME/.VirtualBox/VBoxSVC.log* $HOME/.VirtualBox/selectorwindow.log*Would be nice if you could either disable them altogether or move them to e.g.
/tmp/.virtualbox-tmpor something like that.

And I don't want to touch the rest of the files thank you very much.mpack wrote:Search the user manual for discussion of the VBOX_USER_HOME environment variable.
I reviewed all of that info and tried "export VBOX_LOG_DEST="dir=xxx" and VBOX_RELEASE_LOG_DEST" without success. It seemed to generate some -new- log files in the designated directory, but still generated the unwelcome VBoxSVC.log files in ~/.config/VirtualBox.fth0 wrote: ↑31.

Did you mistype or did you use VBOXSVC_RELEASE_LOG_DEST?
Actually, I did not read the "Technical documentation" as carefully as I should have - sorry
Code: Select all
VBOXAUTOSTART_RELEASE_LOG
VBOXBALLOONCTRL_RELEASE_LOG
VBOX_RELEASE_LOG
VBOX_GUI_SELECTORWINDOW_RELEASE_LOG
VBOXSDS_RELEASE_LOG
VBOXSVC_RELEASE_LOG
VBOXWEBSRV_RELEASE_LOG
VBOXDHCP_RELEASE_LOG
VBOXNET_%s_RELEASE_LOG
That works as well !
Code: Select all
export VBOXSVC_RELEASE_LOG_DEST="dir=/tmp/.virtualbox-tmp"
export VBOX_GUI_SELECTORWINDOW_RELEASE_LOG_DEST="dir=/tmp/.virtualbox-tmp"
