Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-utils
There are five logs shown in my log viewer, auth.log, daemon.log,
messages, syslog and Xorg.0.log. auth.log, daemon.log, messages and
syslog have historical files such as syslog.0, syslog.1.gz, syslog.2.gz,
etc. For auth.log, daemon.log and messages I can see more than the
current date in both the calendar in the bottom left and in the log
list. For syslog I only see the current date. I do have the files in
/var/log and they have the same permissions as /var/log/syslog and
/var/log/auth.log*.
I expected to see history entries for syslog. Thanks.
