[opensuse-factory] How can I view the logs of another system partition?
When I mount from Leap 42.1 (sda1) the root partition of Leap 42.2 (sdb1), I can not see the logs in /mnt/var/log, on which the only files with zero size are btmp and wtmp. I continue continue with problems in the installation of the amdgpu-pro driver. Yesterday following the steps indicated in: Https://community.amd.com/thread/212558 I got it compiled and installed the driver, but I'm still get the black screen. In the sda1 partition I have Leap 42.1 and in the sdb1 Leap 42.2, which is where I try to install the amdgpu-pro driver. Yesterday, as in Leap 42.2 I had 3 kernel versions, I could boot using the older versions of the kernel, in which there was no tried to install amdgpu-pro, and with which the driver loaded the open source amdgpu driver. But I decided to test with a newer kernel the 4.4.52-7, where the amdgpu-pro driver was installed automatically, at the start of the system and when installing this kernel version, only left me installed a single version of the previous kernel versions, which already had the same driver installed. I have set the system to boot in console mode, but I can not see nothing, because the black screen, and I can not see the logs either from the other system. With older versions, one could access the other consoles, see the logs from another system version, but each time is looking more like windows, where whatever console is almost nonexistent, and at the slightest problem, you have to reinstall the system (which seems to me to be the solution). I also can not change console, with "Alt + Fx" (x = 1-2-3-4-5), because the screen is still black. It should work, at least this time the video card I have among the supported ones, but probably something previous attempt with the other card that was not supported. https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/519730-Installation-of-AMDGPU-PRO...

Thank you very much!
Regards, Juan you can attach journalctl from the boot os to the dead os by giving path as argument - have to google for correct args

No, by default you get no traditional syslog files. Instead, you get new systemd journal, which if set to be stored permanently (not just for the current session) should be in /var/log/journal/. If the directory does not exist, create it. Then run again your tests so that the logs contain something. Then you need to use journalctl --D /mnt/var/log/journal/ to use them. Alternatively, you can activate traditional syslog. You have to install a syslog daemon of your choice, for example rsyslog. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
