logs & screenshots

IT · Posted: Tue Jul 13, 2004 6:42 pm Post subject: logs & screenshots

I see many posts where folks identify thier problems...and post a code or quote. My question is:

*where are you finding your "problems"? are you looking at a log after an emerge to locate these problems? if so...can you point me in the right direction so I can learn to do that? I'm not sure where to and how to access any logs.

I'd appreciate a push in the right direction

***edit*** my appologies...I somehow thougth I was posting this in "other things gentoo".

Check /var/log. That's where the majority of relevant logs will be kept.

/var/log/messages is the main log file
