[SOLVED] Gnome System Log Functionality

Hello everyone.

I currently have an Arch install and I prefer to use the Gnome desktop environment.

I really enjoy the functionality of journalctl but I would like to have some ease of use over functionality at times. I noticed that Gnome's System Log viewer only shows pacman.log and boot.log. It was my understanding that this application was developed to show other logs for journalctl. I'm guessing I do not have something installed or enabled.

Any pointers?

Thanks.

I think gnome-system-log is somehow deprecated.
You should use gnome-logs (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … nome-logs/), but for me it returning error 404

Try pacamn -Syu gnome-system-log

Indeed it is! Thank you very much for this information. I installed gnome-logs and removed gnome-system-log and everything is great now!
