It's apparently been renamed /var/log/kern.log in recent versions. If you don't have this file (or if it's empty), then make sure you have the rsyslog package installed. That one stopped being installed by default some time ago, in favor of systemd's binary journaling. The configuration file /etc/rsyslog.conf defines where rsyslogd writes the log messages. In the case of kernel messages: # # Log commonly used facilities to their own log file # auth,authpriv.* /var/log/auth.log cron.* -/var/log/cron.log kern.* -/var/log/kern.log mail.* -/var/log/mail.log user.* -/var/log/user.log
