In this paper we prove, via the entropy dissipation method, that the solutions of the d-dimensional logarithmic diffusion equation, with nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary data, decay exponentially in time toward its own steady state. The result is valid not only in L1-norm (as customary when applying entropy dissipation methods) but also in any Lp-norm with p
