I get several errors re:bios and a couple of other things that scroll
too fast for me to read. I have not been able to find the messages in
/var/logs. Where might I find these if this terminal printout is saved?
Two ways to view onscreen:
dmesg | less
journalctl -b
Their content can be written to plain text file of your choice of name:
journalctl -b > somefile1.txt
dmesg > somefile2.txt
The content of dmesg and journal largely overlaps, but is not identical.
If journal is configured to be persistent, then the journal of prior boots can be
accessed by appending a prior boot number after -b, such as -4. Without -b, you
get all boots that the journal contains.
