Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-utils
Naturally since the logs viewed in gnome-system-log are kept based on the rules set in etc/logrotate.conf, I think gnome-system-log needs to be able to set a preference on the number of days/weeks the admin would like to keep logs. The calendar functionality is great, but it indicates this feature which is lacks a front end for configuration, I don't think we need the fine grain control that logrotate.conf offers, but at least minimal configuration. This can be accomplished by adding the following functionality: Edit > Preferences Rotate logs [Pull Down] daily | weekly | monthly Keep backlogs for [Field] weeks Compress logs [Radio Buttons] Yes/No ** Affects: gnome-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- feature request: gnome-system-log shoud be used as a front end for logrotate.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274874 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
