Tim: >> Also look at dmesg (it's a command, and logfiles in /var/log/dmesg). home user: > There is no "/var/log/dmesg" directory or file. > "find -name logfiles -print" does not find a file "logfiles" in the /var tree. Okay, in my case this was on an older system, and might be a peculiarity of it. However, I meant it left logfiles in /var/log not that the files were called logfiles. e.g. -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 63401 Jul 23 09:47 dmesg -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 63149 Jul 10 18:09 dmesg.old At any rate, typing the dmesg command would normally show you just about everything it saw since boot time. And as Samuel said, lots of things are now logged through systemd journal, instead, and you use the journalctl command to view them. This can depend on what you have installed. Personally, I hate using it. It's far easier for me to look through the last 100 lines of /var/log/messages to get a grasp on something that happened than try and remember how to use journalctl. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
