Hi All,
I remember in earlier editions (7.3 ish) there was a small terminal like window on the desktop which carried some of the system messages. At the time I always got rid of it as I didn't understand how useful it could be. Now, I'd like to get it back but I don't know what it was and it doesn't come up by default any more. Any pointers?
/dev/xconsole should be owned by you on login, so you can just run xconsole -file /dev/xconsole If you're not happy about what gets logged to xconsole, edit /etc/syslog.conf and add/remove, then "killall -HUP syslogd" to make it take effect
