    SOLVED - Can't display /var/log/boot via KSystemLog - Thanks UnicornRider

    In KSystemLog I can't display the /var/log/boot.log because Kubuntu doesn't include the .log extension on this file - it is created as /var/log/boot [no extension]

    KSystemLog won't accept changes, even via Settings | Configure KSystemLog when point it directly to the file. Why? I have tried loading the application via kdesu KSystemLog from a Konsole window so I would be using the application as 'root' but that didn't fare any better.
    [added 05/03/07]
    I've created a symbolic link to the boot log file using:
    /var/log$ sudo ln -s boot boot.log
    This works, but I would still like to know why I am not able to change the settings within KSystemLog to point to the actual file.

      Ah. Okay. Then I guess my 'solution' really is how to do it if one is using KSystemLog.

      Thanks UnicornRider.
