Lew told you in his post. It is the same file where it has been for decades: /var/log/messages
ran "locate messages" and there is no file in /var/log/ or anywhere that looks like it is related to the os. All related to some application file or other.

Good point, what version of Leap are you running, Doug? If you're not sure you can "cat /etc/os-release". As someone else pointed out, the system is not Leap, it's Tumbleweed.
Ah, I missed that. Some older releases of openSUSE didn't run syslog by default, which would explain why /var/log/messages was missing.
No, it doesn't, his install is fresh.
Leap 15.2 does run it by default, I don't know about Tumbleweed. journalctl should be there in any case.
Can you try "journalctl | |grep -i panic" as root and see what happens?
locate does not find cournalctl
You don't need to "locate" journalctl, it's a program that lives in /usr/bin.
And of course, locate finds it. He typed it with 'c' from Charlie, instead of 'j' from Juliett
You should find it by doing "which journalctl", or just typing "journalctl", assuming your paths are set correctly.
Right. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.1 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))
