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

how to find the logs - the Errorlogs!!?

 

i ve got a problem - i need to find the logs - the Errorlogs!!?

 

my Notebook crashes every 10 minutes - and i do not know why - i have to have a closer look at the logs the error-logs.

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.

I'm not a Suse user, nor do I use Linux on my Mac, but I doubt seriously that they removed system logging entirely.

with this command i can go on ...

journalctl -p err -b:
