Feature changed by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Feature #310609, revision 3 Title: Yast2 log search openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The system log viewer in Yast2 should allow searching and filtering the log. + Also, please add /var/log/zypp/history (file:///var/log/zypp/history) + to the log menu.  This file is crucial. Use Case: My Connexant HSF (http://www.conexant.com/) modem driver is down since the latest kernel update (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2010-09/msg00003.html) and I was asked by Linuxant (http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf) support to identify the previous kernel.  So I opened /var/log/YaST2/y2log (file:///var/log/YaST2/y2log) in Yast2 System Log window and I tried to look for kernel , but there is too much to read there and no search or filter function. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We want this because the system logs are long and it is tedious and time-consuming to review them in whole when you are looking for something specific. Discussion: #1: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) (2010-09-22 15:29:09) The log is actually so long that it exceeds the capacity of the X11 clipboard, and copying it has no effect. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310609
