Hi. In the source code of gnome-system-log, just before the function that parses /etc/syslog.conf, there's a note:
/* TODO: ideally we should parse configuration files in /etc/logrotate.conf * and all the files in /etc/logrotate.d/ and group all the logs referring * to the same entry under a category. Right now, we just do some * parsing instead, and fill with quasi-sensible defaults. */ So the long-term plan of GNOME is to parse /etc/logrotate* instead of syslog.conf. An another equivalent that could be used is /etc/rsyslog.conf (and consequently /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf), however, AFAIK, it uses a different syntax. Using a static list should be the fastest and painless solution. I'd say you should put /var/log/{syslog,dmesg,kern.log,Xorg.0.log,auth.log} and maybe also /var/log/dpkg.log and /var/log/apt/history.log On Thu, 2011-12-08 at 17:57 +0100, Sebastien Bacher wrote: > Hi, > > Currently gnome-system-log is not displaying any log in Ubuntu [1], > that's because it tries to parse /etc/syslog.conf to get the list of > logs to display, which doesn't work with rsyslog. > > Does anyone have an opinion on what logs should be displayed by default, > we could either use a static list in the default config of > gnome-system-log or make it parse one of the rsyslog files if there is > one which would provides the list we need. > > Cheers, > Sebastien Bacher > > [1] > > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/841085 > >
