how to find the logs - the Errorlogs!? - in a openSuse 42.3


Recommended Posts


in earlier times i was able to find errorlogs in  Default /var/log/messages missing


but when i installed 13.2 I noticed that there is no such file as /var/log/messages ...


the logging can be re-enabled?

when installing "rsyslog" and "/var/log/messages" will come back.

The default is for "systemd" to grab all log message and put in its journal.

I guess that's a good choice for people who don't want to look at logs, unless there is
a problem to investigate. For those of us who periodically do a "tail" on log files, it's a bad choice.

 

good day

 

 

with this command i can go on ...

journalctl -p err -b:
