how to preserve the logs after reboot [SOLVED]
I sometimes encounter a system freeze where I'm not able to even switch tty, the only solution is the reset button.
My problem is that after reboot I look in dmesg,journalctl and Xorg.0.log to see any errors but from what I see they get refreshed on every reboot and thus I can't see what went wrong.
So where to configure the system to preserve the logs even after hard reset ?
P.S: I'm not asking how to preserve boot messages.

Unless you have changed something, the logs are preserved across reboots...

Thanks but what about Xorg logs ?

The old Xorg log is kept as, for example, Xorg.0.log.old

You don't have to boot into X, so the old logs can be w/o the .old suffix.
