where can I find the boot.log

Hello, everyone,

I installed Solus on 2 hard drives. Once with Gnome and then with KDE. When I choose Gnome, the calculator seems to load a little, but then stalls. There is only a blinking cursor on the screen.

How can I see what's wrong? I can't get into the gnome system. Is there a file somewhere?

journalctl -b -1

Thanks for the answer,
but I'm not on the system, so it doesn't work.

How can I display the kernel messages when booting?

Do you mean booting with text? When you turn on the computer press e. Change systemd.show_status=false to true and enter

At least now I know where the problem is:

Loading Solus 4.3 Fortitude 6.0.11 ...
error: can't rfind command 'rw'.
Loading initial ramdisk
Press any Key to continue ....

now the question, which file is the editable command line? so I can compare those of KDE and GNOME

tgorzka If it's EFI system, I recall you can bring up the boot menu by holding space. Then pressing 'e' on the option brings up the command.

tgorzka

Yes I know. But do these commands stand for the commands in some file? Because I get this error message on Gnome

tgorzka

I got it. yeah I played on my system.

What does that tell us? never touch a running system.
The UUID has changed in /boot/grub, I re-entered it and everything is fine now

happy now ;-)
