@FaheemMitha Turns out my Xorg logs are not for display 0, rather they are for display 1, and they are located in $HOME/.local/share/xorg, and there is an Xorg.1.log timestamped today.
@Ungeheuer Logs are usually under /var/log. But apparently your X is rootless, and Linux doesn't really have a good place to put user logs. So I guess it gets stuck somewhere in the home directory.

I might just have to buy his new "How to" book ... for my kids, yeah :)
@FaheemMitha It might have happened around the time I was setting up my Nvidia GPU. I admittedly never payed attention and have no idea what could have changed, or if it was always logging to both places, etc.
@FaheemMitha Are these "[ 9323.014]" things timestamps in the Xorg log? What do they correspond to? Seconds? Minutes? I'd love to know when log lines actually appeared in the log.
I would guess it's probably CLOCK_MONOTONIC, which on Linux is time since boot. perl -MTime::HiRes=clock_gettime,CLOCK_MONOTONIC -E 'say clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC)' is an easy enough way to get it
(Could also be CLOCK_BOOTTIME, but those are the same on my machine so I can't check w/o reading Xorg source)
clock_gettime manpage describes the various clocks if you're curious
@FaheemMitha Yea, there are several EE and WW lines relating to Nvidia in the 50 lines I scrolled through out of about 860. How should I attach the log to my question? Get a pastebin link, or filter the doc for lines containing keywords like "input", "elan", etc.?
@Ungeheuer Good question. You could first try just including the whole thing and see if you hit the length limit, and then try taking out the obviously irrelevant stuff.
@Ungeheuer Add as much as possible of the log to the actual question. If all does not fit, then ou can think about putting some sort of summary of it in the question and the full log somewhere else (preferably somewhere where it won't get deleted after some time).
Alice in Wonderland logic. Apparently these people think that the EU will care if the UK leaves without a deal. Which makes no sense. Why should they care?
@derobert Hmm. But they are saying that if they set an arbitrary deadline for Brexit and are prepared to leave without a deal, then miraculously, a deal will happen.
Not sure what they're doing at the moment. BBC is still saying (on the news/analysis program) that the vote is in ~15 min. I missed what they said was going on now
@FaheemMitha I think they go indicate to the relevant vote counter (one for yes, one for no) which side they want to vote for. Not sure exactly how it's done.
It's a strange thought that the people in this room run Britain. Once upon a time, that would have been an extremely big deal. Mostly white, and mostly men. Some things don't change.
" In each House, a division requires members to file into one of the two lobbies alongside the Chamber; their names are recorded by clerks, and their votes are counted as they exit the lobbies to re-enter the Chamber." ... that's what Wikipedia tells me about how they actually vote en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom
Tonight was a procedural thing. Normally the PM (Boris Johnson) mostly has control over the agenda, and of course he'd never put the block no-deal on the agenda.
Or put it on themselves, not sure how exactly it works. But it's to allow it to be debated and voted on, tomorrow I believe. Then presumably if it passes, they'll debate and vote on holding an election
