chris z Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 (told ya i'd have more questions!) i'm having a problem with my system log viewer. when i try to run it by going to "kicker>start applications>applications>monitoring>system log" it asks for root password, opens the sytem log viewer panel, seems like it's loading, but then it bombs & i get an error message box that says "error....unknown error" & my only option is to close the error box. i can still view logs if i got to Mandrake Control Center & use the log viewer there. the log viewer was working fine a few days ago. i'm wondering if this could be related in some way to my Java/Mozilla 1.4 problems (see thread) http://mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=6...5b2841b04ed61aa because it seems to have only started after that dilema? is there a way to run the log viewer from a teminal? if there is, i was thinking maybe it would give me more detail about the error, but i can't find a command to run it. once again, if anybody can shed some light on this problem, it would be appreciated. thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezroller Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 have you tried running it from a terminal? sometimes there are error messages there that are not normally visible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he wants to do that, but can't figure out what the binary file is...is there a way to run the log viewer from a teminal? if there is, i was thinking maybe it would give me more detail about the error, but i can't find a command to run it. try klogviewer (just a guess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted July 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 yep, i wanna try to run it from terminal, but i don't know the command to do so.......... nope, klogviewer doesn't work..........neither does logviewer, syslog, syslogviewer, xlogviewer, xsyslog, & several other variations i've tried. (i've tried running them both as user & root) any other ideas? i can't even find anything in the MAN pages about the log viewer. (if it's there, i'm missing it then) not really a major problem, but it's the little things like this that bug me & make me wanna know why! if i come up with anything in the meantime, i'll let you know.
