I felt dirty, but this made me laugh out loud:
>While I'm here, let me mention that journalctl's default behavior of 'show all messages since the beginning of time in forward chronological order' is about the most useless default I can imagine.
- cesarb 12y agoYeah, that's an annoying default. At least it also uses a pager by default, so it stops after the first screenful. On the other hand, "journalctl -b" (show all messages since the machine has been last powered on, in forward chronological order) is quite useful.
- the_why_of_y 12y agoYep... even better is that it takes an index, so you can "journalctl --list-boots" to look up boot by timestamp and "journalctl -b -2" to look at the log of the second-to-last boot to copy and report the kernel oops in there.
