I should explain the command I mentioned. There are Xorg log files in /var/log.
[weremouse@moonstudio ~]$ ls -hl /var/log/Xorg* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 599 Jul 17 22:58 /var/log/Xorg.0.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 599 Jul 17 22:58 /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29K Sep 10 2015 /var/log/Xorg.1.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29K Sep 9 2015 /var/log/Xorg.1.log.old [weremouse@moonstudio ~]$ man grep | grep DESCRIPTION -A1 DESCRIPTION grep searches the named input FILEs for lines containing a match to the given PATTERN. [snip] The "EE" is more or less unique for Xorg log files and a starting point to find errors in those log files. IOW grep EE /var/log/Xorg*log* does search for entries containing "EE" in all Xorg log files, since the asterisks are wildcards. grep EE /var/log/Xorg*log* > /tmp/xorglog.txt ">" redirects the standard output to a file. Before you post the output, read it, even if you shouldn't understand it. 1. A log file could contain private data. Unlikely a Xorg log file contains such data, but... 2. ...you could google possible error messages and find hints, how to solve the issue. -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users
