Cleanup

Check current disk usage:

sudo journalctl --disk-usage

Use rotate function:

sudo journalctl --rotate

Or

Remove all logs and keep the last 2 days:

sudo journalctl --vacuum-time=2days

Or

Remove all logs and only keep the last 100MB:

sudo journalctl --vacuum-size=100M

How to read logs:

Follow specific log for a service:

sudo journalctl -fu SERVICE

Show extended log info and print the last lines of a service:

sudo journalctl -xeu SERVICE

Thank you for this, wise sage.

Your wisdom will be passed down the family line for generations about managing machine logs.

Glad to help your family, share this wisdom with friends too โ˜๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Yeah, if I had dependents they'd gather round the campfire chanting these mystical runes in the husk of our fallen society

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • ย 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
