How to collect a Journal log?

Jolla Care -

Journal log contains many of the generic messages running in the system. Superuser rights help to collect more data.

 

Collecting the journal log to a file

 

1) Enable the Developer Mode. See this article.

2) Launch the Terminal application.

3) Ensure you are in your home directory

cd /home/$USER

4) Get super-user rights:

devel-su

5) Collect the journal log to a file:

journalctl -ab --no-pager --no-tail > journal.txt

6) Connect the phone to your PC with a data-enabled USB cable. Select "Media transfer (MTP)" for the mode.

7) On the PC, open the File Manager (File Explorer) - many computers open it up for you when they observe that a device was connected.

8) Look for the name of your Sailfish device (you would see "Jolla" or "Xperia..."). Find "Mass storage" under it.
