system messages stop process

Hail!
When I stop the system, the process sends two red (maybe failure) messages, but the screen goes so fast, I can't read it. Where can I find those messages?

When you stop the system how exactly? Which process?

If you're shutting down, it depends what's generating the messages.
If they are of the sort which get logged, it depends whether the messages appear before the journal is closed.
If they do, they might be in the journal from the previous boot.

What 'K menu'? What do you mean by 'stop the system'?

He's shutting down, apparently from KDE.

sudo journalctl -b -1

But any kind of message that happens after the journald has been stopped or rather the disks unmounted isn't preservable.
Put your phone into the fastest camera mode and on a (makeshift) tripod and film the monitor in that case.

You can also try to

systemctl halt

the system to see whether the messages remain visible when not powering the system off.
