Found the bug: gnome-system-log crashes when you make a filter and put a space in the name and click 'Apply'. Would be nice if it would give a warning instead.
The filter settings are saved as a gsettings scheme: org.gnome.gnome- system-log.filters. You can edit them with dconf-editor (org>gnome >gnome-system-log>filters). Replace the space in the name of the filter with a dash (or some other character), and gnome-system-log will work again. Be aware that there is another bug with gnome-system-log in ubuntu 13.10. It won't launch when you use a Gtk+ Shimmer theme. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-system-log in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1248684 Title: gnome-system-log crashed during start Status in “gnome-system-log” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: gnome-system-log can't start i've upgradet from 12.04 to 13.10 couple of days ago.
