To access system logs and kernel messages in Ubuntu, you can use the `dmesg` command in the Terminal. This command retrieves messages from the kernel’s buffer, providing detailed information about system events. Open the terminal application using the ctrl+alt+t keys and run below command.
sudo dmesg
When you run this command, you’ll see an extensive list of messages. To make the output more manageable, you can use the less command to display a specific number of messages per screen:
sudo dmesg | less
You can also filter messages by keyword using the grep command. For example, if you’re interested in messages containing the word “Bluetooth:” then use.
sudo dmesg | grep Bluetooth
This command filters the output to display only messages that contain the specified keyword, making it easier to identify relevant information.
