in general, redhat systems use /var/log/messages, debian systems use 
/var/log/syslog

systems that use systemd might swallow some or all of the system logging 
into systemd-journald, leaving you with nothing in /var/log/syslog or 
/var/log/messages.  if you are on one of those systems, then you'll have to 
use journalctl to view the log messages.

if you want to see the contents of /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog 
without having to escalate privileges, you should change the permissions in 
the rsyslog configuration (/etc/rsyslog.conf) and/or logrotate 
configuration. i do not recall whether this is possible on systemd systems 
that have hijacked *all* of the system logging into journald.

your 'chmod 777' will go away at the next log rotation and/or rsyslog 
restart, and you really don't want to give world write privileges on system 
files like that anyway.

2024-03-02 Thread Tom Keffer 
You should check /var/log/syslog, not /var/log/messages. The latter usually 
does not include debug messages.)

This is almost surely a permissions problem. There are many threads on this 
topic. For example, this one 
. In that case, 
adding user weewx to group "plugdev" solved the problem:

*sudo usermod -aG plugdev weewx*


Also, see  the wiki article *Understanding permissions 
*. Pay 
particular attention to the section *How to fix device permissions 
.*
