[SOLVED]journalctl truncates lines in Konsole

I have a fully up to date arch system running systemd 212-1, and if I run:

# journalctl --full

in a Konsole in KDE the lines still truncate at the end of each line. I thought that this was supposed to be fixed in systemd a long time ago but I have not seen this working properly in recent times.  Does anyone know if there is a work around, and is this behaviour a remaining bug?

Re: [SOLVED]journalctl truncates lines in Konsole

I'm not using Konsole, but I don't see this. Does it work in other terminal emulators? Please post the output.
I can scroll with the cursor keys. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 2#p1327072

Thank you for that link - I was unaware that you can scroll left/right with the arrow keys - and this does work perfectly well in Konsole, as I have just checked it.  Also journalctl -b --no-pager | less works just fine too.

So that solves this issue that I had been somewhat frustrated with for ages - I didn't see this option in the man page for journalctl. I'll mark this as solved.
