Hej fellow guix,

TL;DR: On Guix, is there anything equivalent to journalctl? If so, where can I find resources on it?

I am experiencing more or less frequent lockups which force me to hard reboot my machine (not only on guix, also on manjaro).

I'd love to know why that is so that I can try and change stuff. On manjaro, I use journalctl -r to find out the culprit. Is there anything equivalent to this on guix? I've tried to find stuff on my own but have so far not been successful.

Any suggestions/tips are very welcome. That would be one further step towards my migration process ;-)

Have a good day, fellows :)

EDIT: I found out that Guix uses syslog(d). The logs are stored under /var/log.

Still, I am wondering in which particular log I would find information about a crash and/or hard reboot. For people interested in knowing why the initial boot process has failed - sometimes that happens to me and there's a kind of kernel panic - you can invoke dmesg (you will probably need to be super user for that).

Also, I'd be interested in how you people browse your logs. One thing I am really missing from systemd/journalctl is its highlighting of some of the messages (dunno if it's faulty or not). This way it seems like it is just a long, undiscernible mess.
