I suddenly noticed that in my 12.1 system, I can no longer use zgrep to search the rotated logs, which are compressed using xz.
cer@Telcontar:~> zgrep Telcontar /var/log/messages-20121206.xz cer@Telcontar:~>
It fails without giving an error (The string "Telcontar" is on every log line).
This is probably a bug that I could report in Bugzilla, but obviously it will be ignored at this time. Can somebody else check 12.3?
Now I have to reconvert all my logs to a format I can read, and change the logrotate config so that it uses some other format like bzip2
NOT! If you look at /etc/logrotate.conf you will see the lines <quote> # comment these to switch compression to use gzip or another # compression scheme compresscmd /usr/bin/xz uncompresscmd /usr/bin/xzdec </quote> If you don't like xz then do what it says and change. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
