💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, this manual page is ABRT-DUMP-JOURNAL() 🌸 and the tool itself is abrt-dump-journal-xorg. It's literally built to extract Xorg crashes from the systemd-journal so you don't have to dig through logs yourself 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

abrt-dump-journal-xorg [-vsoxtf] [-e]/[-c CURSOR] [-d DIR]/[-D] [-j FILTER]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so this tool makes a problem directory out of every Xorg crash it finds in the systemd-journal ✨ and it can even follow the journal and grab crashes the moment they happen 👀🔥

the follow and scan stuff starts from the last seen cursor 💜 if that last seen cursor file doesn't exist yet, it scans the entire systemd-journal instead, or starts from the end if you pass -e 🦋

and fr, a journal filter is required 🚨 you have to set it either with the -j option or in the xorg.conf configuration file. no filter, no vibes 💀

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • -v, --verbose — be extra chatty 🗣️ you can give it multiple times for max tea
  • -s — log to syslog 📝
  • -o — print the Xorg crashes it finds on standard output 🖨️
  • -d DIR — make a brand new problem directory in DIR for every Xorg crash it finds 📁
  • -D — same as -d DumpLocation, where DumpLocation is set in abrt.conf 🎀
  • -s CURSOR — start scanning systemd-journal from CURSOR 🧚
  • -e — start following systemd-journal from the end 🌅
  • -x — make the problem directory world readable 🌍 (only usable with -d/-D, so don't try it solo)
  • -t — throttle problem directory creation to 1 per second 🐢
  • -f — follow systemd-journal 👀
  • -j — set the journal filter 🔍 (you can give it many times)

📂 FILES 📂

  • /etc/abrt/plugins/xorg.conf — the config file for ABRT's tools that work with Xorg crashes ⚙️
  • /var/lib/abrt/abrt-dump-journal-xorg.state — where the saved systemd-journal cursor to the last seen message lives 💾
