From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020724 Description of problem: There are two programs in the System Tools menu in Limbo 2. One is called System Log The other is called System Logs (this component) System Logs is a nice app that prompts the user for the root password, and then shows a useful log viewing program. System Log (gnome-system-log) launches, attempts to read /var/log/messages, fails if the user isn't logged in as root with "/var/log/messages could not be opened, no log files to open", and then exits. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Look in the System Tools menu of Limbo 2 2.Compare the two apps. Actual Results: gnome-system-log will always fail unless the user is logged into X as root (a Bad Thing). In addition, redhat-logviewer doesn't show all the contents of /var/log/messages, asa far as I can tell. Expected Results: redhat-logviewer should include any logs that gnome-system-log does. After that, gnome-system-log should be removed from the distribution - there's a big overlap in functionality and users aren't quite sure what program to click on Additional info:
