B.30. Lab B.30: View Logged Warnings in openSUSE

This lab requires a workstation running openSUSE and KDE.

To view logged warnings in openSUSE, follow these steps:

  1. Click the launcher on the desktop and choose Applications.

  2. Choose System.

  3. Choose Administrator Settings. This choice starts YaST2.

  4. Choose Miscellaneous.

  5. Choose Start-up Log. The dialog box that appears displays the contents of /var/log/boot.msg and starts the display at the bottom of the log file (the most recent entries).

  6. Change the drop-down box to /var/log/warn. The warning entries now display. Take note of overflow and buffer errors.

  7. Click OK.

  8. Exit YaST2.
