start from a terminal and paste quake3's output printed.

Prefferably on something like pastebin.com , so the thread remains readable

[mitsubishi]

the thread.. went off topic anyway.

I'm not able to do that because I have to log out and then back in when quake freezes. Any output in konsole is therefore lost.

[Woekele]

+set logfile 2 will log all the ouput to a file.

[Nationalist]

Where is the log file kept?

[Nationalist]

Deleted, wrong log.

[Woekele]

That looks like a log created with the g_log cvar.. prolly called games.log.

With +set logfile 2, the output is called qconsole.log/txt, dont remember exactly. It will be in your ~/.q3a/q3ut3/ dir.

[Nationalist]

I will have to post this in two parts because it exceeds the maximum character length.

Start up quake and tell it to throw stdout/err to a file.

command > log # saves all output from command to log, or
command 2> log # saves all error from command to log, or
command >& log # saves both stdout and stderr from command to log in bash

Another option is to use tee.  Tee will send stdout down the pipe and print it out to your screen.  It's useful for when you want to track progress on some task in a long running pipe.

Another option instead of tee (when it's logging to a file), is to run 'tail -f logfile' which will continuously display the logfile as it is updated.

Another option is to use script.  Type 'script' and it will log everything you do in your shell (input and output you get back).  Hit ctrl+d to quit.  It saves the output in a file called 'typescript'.  It's a bit ugly to read though especially if you use colors in bash.  Run 'less -r typescript' for proper display in less.

And of course you can throw any of those commands into the background job control.  So you could do:  'command >& log &' to log stdout/err to log and return to the prompt before the command is done.  Your shell should tell you when it's done (the next time you type a command) or asynchronously if your shell supports that.  Or you can type 'jobs' to see what you currently have running in the background.
