Hi, I am receiving this message when passing: journalctl -b -1 -r

Hint: You are currently not seeing messages from other users and the system.

      Users in the 'systemd-journal' group can see all messages. Pass -q to

      turn off this notice.

The issue is that I am in the "systemd-journal" group.

Thinkcentre-M57p:/usr/bin> groups paul

paul : paul audio cdrom systemd-journal

Show

id -a

output. Also check permissions on journal (sub-)directories -
/run/log/journal and /var/log/journal (and of course on the parent
path).

Is this readable? Composition & Addressing > Composition > Compose messages in HTML format is toggled *off* in Thunderbird now.

What is the 's' in group for in /run/log/journal/systemd-journal and
/var/log/journal/systemd-journal (stickybit)? What is the file
d27ebfd1ed87479da329ef76152c4dc3  used for?

What is going on here? What am I doing wrong and not understanding about this "Hint" above? Ok,
powercycling fixed the issue. Do you recommend adding admin user to "systemd-journal" group typically?
