Hello again.

So after doing lots of things, like running Alt-F without a harddisc with installation of Alt-F on it, I do have almost everything in order, minus two things, and a bug. (yes, it will arrive.) But first, can you please help me to access my System Configuration Log.
The only log files I can see in /var/log are
[root@terra]# cd log
[root@terra]# ls
hot.log       hot_aux.log   minidlna      samba         transmission
Trying to access the system config log from the System Utilities > View logs, I can access all log files, minus the sys config log. I get an connection reset page-frame on firefox.


The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.


So please again, which magic commands do I need to exercise to let the system log been seen, OR created?

Thanks in advance!

That is a bug.

The bug is deployed if no configuration log is found, which happens if its creation is disabled at Services->User, user, where "Create diagnostics file" is not checked. The log is created once at boot or whenever the "user" service is "started" (it's a one shot event, it does not runs continuously)

Ok, that is solved. But no clue why it was unchecked...
