Okay, in my case this was on an older system, and might be a
peculiarity of it.  However, I meant it left logfiles in /var/log not
that the files were called logfiles.

e.g. 
-rw-r--r--. 1 root    root      63401 Jul 23 09:47 dmesg
-rw-r--r--. 1 root    root      63149 Jul 10 18:09 dmesg.old

At any rate, typing the dmesg command would normally show you just
about everything it saw since boot time.

And as Samuel said, lots of things are now logged through systemd
journal, instead, and you use the journalctl command to view them.
This can depend on what you have installed.

Personally, I hate using it.  It's far easier for me to look through
the last 100 lines of /var/log/messages to get a grasp on something
that happened than try and remember how to use journalctl.
