Description Enrico Scholz 2012-06-13 14:33:41 UTC
Description of problem:

'journalctl' cuts long lines which removes a lot of information.  This is extremely annoying especially when piping through a pager where only the first 2 characters of a message are visible:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

This bug was file for F17, where it is not fixed yet. Can you please submit an update also for F17 or close the bug as NEXTRELEASE. Thanks!

Comment 9 Michal Schmidt 2013-04-12 22:47:51 UTC
At this point not much effort will be spent on systemd in F17. Only fixes for severe bugs can be expected.
