Following is the above command with its output sent to a file called '''-ERRORS''' in your ''/home/<user>'' directory. Having the '''-''' at the beginning of the name should cause the file to be shown at the top of the list of files when viewing the contents of your '''~/''' (''/home/<user>'') directory. This command makes it easy to copy the contents of the -ERRORS file, & then paste it to the forum. Doing so allows us to display ALL of the command's output instead of only being able to cut & paste the truncated lines from our terminal: | |||
$ Journalctl -b -p err > -ERRORS | |||
