Originally posted by bkor View PostJournal 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.
There's various things you can do about this. If you don't care about logs from months ago, you can happily just wipe the older files in /var/log/journal; just look at the file dates to see what date ranges each file covers. You can also just use smarter journalctl commands. The one I use the most often is 'journalctl -b', which is 'show me all messages since I booted'. You can also pass in absolute or relative date ranges (like 'all logs in the last week') and stuff, if you check the man page.

The crucial thing with copyright assignment and licensing agreements is whether you trust the entity holding the copyright. With the FSF, I have no doubts. With Oracle, I have plenty of doubts. With someone like Digia you don't really know, but there are safeguards in place, so that's OK.

What safeguards?
