I don't consider this a bug anymore! Big thanks to Timothy Mayoh & Sebastien Bacher. I can't believe my ignorance.
guys, just go to /var/log and right-click whatever log file you're interested in and select "Copy to" and then select your Home folder. Or alternatively you can open the Log File Viewer and press CTRL+O and select whatever log you want. It will then show in the left-side pane. Next time you open Log File Viewer, that Log will still be there. After learning these things, I actually prefer the Log File Viewer be empty after a new install because the Log Viewer opens quickly and there aren't a gazillion logs present that I never use. I can input whatever log interests me whenever I want. Maybe this "bug" should be changed to a Won't Fix? I think it's more from ignorance on the user's part. My initially viewing this as a bug certainly was from ignorance on my part. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/841085 Title: Log File Viewer empty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-utils/+bug/841085/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
