    Phoronix: GNOME Gets A Log Viewer For Systemd's Journal

    There's a new GNOME application that experienced its first release this morning: GNOME Logs. While there's a lot of work left on the project, GNOME Logs is to serve as a centralized log viewer for the systemd journal on the GNOME desktop...

    How nice. Systemd is only optional for Gnome, but stuff like this makes the choice much easier.
    Uses glibc, which means CLA.

    Time to pick something else, funky.

      Even worse for you.

        They actively build on software which requires copyright assignment to a third party and whose license can change at any time.

        Just like KDE.

          Eh... what? Do you mean GNU? So you think the Free Software Foundation would make all their software proprietary?

            Did you actually check this, or did you just assume your silly troll was at least _technically_ accurate?

            Most C code, especially high level GUI apps, doesn't specify a particular C library. So far as I can make out, neither systemd nor GNOME nor anything else mentioned in this article has a specific requirement for the glibc C library.

              No, and I don't think Digia would either.

              It's funkstar and his copyright assignment paranoia you have to convince.

              I didn't claim it specified a requirement, I said they used the GNU libc, which is accurate for most Linux distributions. Including the one funkstar runs.

              I apologise for the trollish post, but funkstar tends to provoke it with his hypocritical crusade against anything that's not GNOME.

                It's amazing how predictable Honton is! The only thing I guessed wrong on is that he would spout his bullshit on the Pitivi article.

                Related to the article: Good for GNOME I've just recently started using a distro with SystemD (Linux Mint uses Upstart... ) so the journals and stuff is foreign to me. Having a GUI would probably ease the transition by a lot.

                  Not sure what you're after, Qt or something else. Anyway: GNOME does not want CA or CLA. We say that we're part of GNU. However, nobody assigns their copyright to anyone and that practice is discouraged. See also https://wiki.gnome.org/CopyrightAssignment/Guidelines and https://wiki.gnome.org/CopyrightAssignment.

                  Note that above wiki mentions: With the Release Team and Board of Directors carefully applying these criteria, the GNOME Foundation hopes to keep the GNOME project unencumbered by control structures that do not align with the spirit of the GNOME community. and that I am on the GNOME release team.

                  Now glibc using CLA or CA also has nothing to do with GNOME. We're not a deritative.

                    Journal is really cool because a lot of things are indexed. If you check the design for this Logs application, you'll see that the idea is that the journal would distinguish between the various applications and log their output. Meaning: no need to ask people to run some command in the terminal or look at stuff like ~/.cache/gdm/session.log (lately if not using journal) or ~/.xsession-errors (older), etc. Everything would be captured by default

                    Note: journal lately is a bit slow on my install, so that must be fixed. It used to be ok, guess some kind of regression.
