Re: "find /var/log -type f | xargs grep kmod" opens garbled dselect window

does the output of 

find /var/log -type f

look correct?  How about

find /var/log -type f | xargs echo grep kmod

I don't really understand what malfunction you're seeing, but perhaps
these techniques can help narrow down the cause.

Also, for a simpler command, try

grep -r kmod /var/log

"grep -rli" is a pattern my fingers have become accustomed to typing in
order to do a case-insensitive search through a directory tree, listing
only filenames, not matching lines.

good times,
Vineet
