Resources to learn about console logs
Howdy,
As there is such a wealth of knowledge here i'm wondering if anyone can point me to some websites that really cover all the ins and outs of the Console app. I'd like to learn how to read crash logs, track down problems etc. Never really looked into Console but i think it's about time
Thanks
I've not encountered anything like what you're looking for, and would be surprised if anything like it existed outside of Infinite Loop.
As for the usual course of action, read the OS X source code where that's available, use Google or Bing or DuckDuckGo or other search tools (including searching the available source code), read lots and lots of logs, make more than a few mistakes, get a crash-and-burn system to intentionally make mistakes and see what happens, join the Mac Enterprise mailing list, etc.

We have a 10.6.7 server, originally installed somewhere in 2009. After doing some diagnostics research today I noticed several things:
/Library/Logs/Console/$user/console.log hasn't been updated since 2009.
There's no asl.db in /private/var/log , however it does live in /private/var.
Syslog was also broken, though I got it working with the default syslog.conf and restarting the daemon.
I understand the logging services changed a lot since 10.4, so what's the current correct information:
Is console.log supposed to work, and what kind of logs is it supposed to contain?
Is my asl.db where it's supposed to be? Is it indicative of a problem?Are you sure the support rep realizes you're on Mac OS X?
It's not uncommon for different OS versions to store logs in different places, so he might have thought you were on some Linux or other UNIX environment. As far as I recall there's never been a per-user console log.
The closest thing I can think of is the system log (/var/log/system.log on Mac OS X but could be different on other OSes).
The alternative is that this isn't a system-level log, but it's application-specific, in which case I wouldn't know about it unless I had the same app installed.
The last option I can think of is that if this is a per-user log (as your path name implies) it would generally be stored in the user's own Log directory at ~/Library/Logs/ but even then I don't see a console.log OMM.
At this point I think your only option is to go back to the support guy to ask for more detail.
As for where you learn/find this stuff, experience counts, as well as a willingness to explore.
There is a lot of commonality across various UNIX/Linux flavors, so many online resources can provide a hint, just be aware that each OS is a little different so don't be surprised/annoyed when someone says a log file should be in one place but Apple put it somewhere else.
Apple provide a lot of hints about their specific impementation in their developer programs, but don't publicise as much for mere mortals. Just to compound the issue, things change between OS versions (usually with no peon-level documentation or explanation) as is the case with the ASL logging moving from text-based to binary.
My advice: poke around and see. There's no danger or risk to just looking. -
Lot of exceptions in kura-console.log. Tutorial not working for me
Hi David,
Well, now I have a wired connection to my pi and got kura up and running. But, my tutorial implementation did not work.
Later, I found there is a new 1.2.0 verion of kura, so I uninstalled 1.0.0 as per wiki steps and installed 1.2.0. I had the kura showing up again and deployed green house. But again, my LED and temperature sensors were not showing.
I was worried if my pi has gone bad, but I found that its giving right voltages at power pins. I checked it is reaching my sensors too.
Later, I looked into in the kura-console.log which looked huge. Here I am attaching it for reference. On face of lot of exceptions have occurred during its start up. I have no clues about it as I am getting started and did not want to deviate anywhere in the tutorial specification(all items used are brand new). Well only change is I have upgraded Kura to 1.2.0.

Please help!
regards,
KrishnaHi David,
It worked!!
I had to follow steps as mentioned in https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-4-gpio-setup/configuring-i2c
I did it once and rebooted and all started to work!
Found it shared by Diego Alejandro PalmeiraFriend in this forum.
thanks,

Preview app fails to open any file, console log shows errors messages
Hi,
I backed up my old mac using TimeMachine and restored the TimeMachine image to my newly purchased iMac running 10.9.4. There were no errors during restoration, however when I try to open a file with the Preview app (such as a jpeg file), Preview app doesn't open the file and emits a variety of errors to the console log as below.
Is there a way to clear the state of the Preview app so I can fix this issue and use the Preview app to open images again? These image files open fine in Chrome, but I can't seem to use Preview to open any files.
Not sure if this is a bug with system restore or a bug in the new OS. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any advice.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 53421 Jun 28 01:33 /Applications/Preview.app/Contents/Resources/Base.lproj/PVPreferences.nibHi,
I tried both suggestions, but they didn't resolve the issue. Thank you both for trying to help.
The font tool was crashing when I tried to validate my font files. I looked and I didn't see the font in question listed in that tool. Crash stack is below.
I reinstalled the OS per Linc's instructions, but Preview still is crashing when opening a jpeg file. Crash stack is below.
Weirdly, most everything else seems to work okay: mail, safari, chrome, etc, all seem to function with no issue. The font tool isn't something I care about, but Preview app is something I use to review my pictures, etc.
Any other suggestions? Is there a good alternative app I should use in the meantime to replace Preview while I get to the bottom of the problem and resolve it?
Thanks,
Norm

Apparent inconsistency in Console Log reporting of modem activity
I have a MAC Pro using (in this case) 10.4.11. It has an internal "on hold modem."
When I connect to the internet, the Console Log consistently and reliably adds this item:
"Dec 23 00:13:42 jpnoaks-7500 /System/Library/Extensions/IOSerialFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/InternalModemSu pport.kext/Contents/Resources/AppleModemOnHold.app/Contents/MacOS/AppleModemOnHo ld: MOHServiceAddedProc >>\n"
HOWEVER, if I'm already connected and there's an incoming call, SOMETIMES an identical item is added in the Console Log and SOMETIMES nothing is added. The "on hold" features of the modem otherwise appear to behave normally.
Is there a ready explanation for this inconsistent behavior? It happens even when successive incoming calls are from the same phone and when an incoming call is from a phone that has never before called (although I'm not entirely certain about the latter).
Obviously, I'm trying to track modem activity using the Console Log.
TIAI'm still not absolutely certain about this, but it would appear that there's no Console Log entry added if the incoming call is from a phone
number that called in recently. How recently? -- I don't know.
One way I can see that this would be normal behavior would be if the computer keeps a record of incoming phone numbers and doesn't
report any event involving that number in the Console Log until the record is refreshed, which could be every hour, day, or whatever.
Is it possible the computer is keeping a record of incoming phone numbers? -
The "scrolling beach ball of death" continues to inhabit every program on my laptop. After finding an article on trouble-shooting, I found the following logs inside the Console Log. But, I have no idea how to read what they mean. They were posted about the time that the SSBOD occurred the last time.
Can anyone assist in interpreting if these logs may point to some cause of the SBBOD?

Thank you,
JayHi,
First off, the network tab does not work in weinre with the exception of XHR. The resource tab is limited to Session Storage, Local Storage, and Databases. From what I know these are fact-of-life limitations of the tool.
I just tested the console tab and console logging for a local page and it's working fine for me with our hosted version of weinre. If you're not seeing logging messages can you describe about your environment and how you're testing? Can you provide a test asset that's not displaying console log messages? -

Strange Entries in System and Console Logs
I have some strange entries in my system and console logs. In the system log, I regularly see these entries:
Feb 24 21:07:29 joseph-youngs-computer /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport: Error: owner of process not logged in on console - exiting.
Feb 24 21:20:32 joseph-youngs-computer kernel[0]: (82: coreservicesd)tfp: failed on 0:
In my console log, I regularly find these entries:
2006-02-25 09:23:24 -0600
2006-02-24 21:07:30.530 loginwindow[803] FSResolveAliasWithMountFlags returned err = -43
On occasion, I find something like this in my console log:
Assert failed: /Users/dave/dev/flash/player/FlashPlayer/platform/mac/plugins/../../../core/spl ay.cpp:7105
I admit to being something of a novice with the Mac, so I am not sure what to make of these entries, though I never noticed anything like this on my eMac, or on my prior iMac. Also, on the entry above, there are no users named dave on my Mac.
Has anyone else noticed this, and can anyone shed any light on what these messages mean?Resolved with a clean install.

Error messages in Console Log of Apple System Profiler
Today, I manually executed some CRON scripts from the Terminal window as part of a regular maintenance cycle. Before doing so, I ran the Apple System Profiler (OS 10.2.8), clicked on the Logs tab, and checked the Console Log. It had three days of error messages and other info (more on this later), but my intent was just to check the last entries in the log before running the CRON scripts, so that I could detect any additional errors logged as a result of the CRON scripts.
Having checked the log, I quit the Profiler and all other applications. Then I opened the Terminal window and entered:
sudo periodic monthly
I was prompted for my adminstrator password, and it then executed the script. It took just seconds to execute. Following this, I also executed
sudo periodic weekly
sudo periodic daily
The weekly CRON took about 2 minutes to finish, and the daily only a few seconds. I ran Apple System Profiler again and checked the console log and found this additional error message (not present prior to running the scripts):
Feb 15 13:43:10 Drake-Bradleys-Computer sendmail[865]: NOQUEUE:
SYSERR(root): /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 93: fileclass: cannot open '/
etc/mail/local-host-names': Group writable directory
(I have inserted hard returns to break the single-line error message into three lines to avoid requiring readers to use the horizontal scroll bar.)
Can anyone tell me what this error means, and what, if anything, I should do about it?
Following all of this, I next repaired my permissions with Disk Utility (and yes, after dragging iTunes 6.0.2 to the desktop). I then ran the profiler, checked the log, and encountered these two additional error messages:
file not in an order that can be processed (local relocation entries out
of place): ./Library/Frameworks/StuffIt.framework/Versions/A/StuffIt
file not in an order that can be processed (local relocation entries out
of place): ./Library/Frameworks/StuffIt.framework/Versions/A/StuffIt
(Again, hard returns are inserted.)
The errors are identical. They presumably were generated by my running disk permissions, as other applications were shut down. It appears the error refers to the Suffit application.
Any ideas what causes these errors?
Finally, a last question. (And thanks for being patient with such a long post.) The console log contains a large number of error messages for each day. This occurs even on days when I have had no apps hang, or any other system problems (power failures, etc.) that I was aware of. Many of the errors seem to involve windows manangement. The most common one is:
Feb 14 17:11:18 Drake-Bradleys-Computer /System/Library/
CoreServices/SystemUIServer.app/Contents/MacOS/SystemUIServer:
kCGErrorIllegalArgument : CGSGetWindowGeometry: Invalid window
But other examples are:
Feb 14 17:42:21 Drake-Bradleys-Computer WindowServer[194]:
Cannot merge groups (yet) for wid 1877, otherwid 1881
Feb 15 10:34:37 Drake-Bradleys-Computer WindowServer[194]:
Reserved range exhausted. (0xbbf45000 to 0xbc271000 goes out of
bounds)
Feb 15 10:35:03 Drake-Bradleys-Computer WindowServer[194]:
CGXRemoveTrackingArea : Invalid tracking area
Is it fairly common for the console log to be filled with dozens of errors like this on a given day even though the iMac seems to be functioning normally?
Thanks for any advice,
Drake Bradley
P.S. I have a Casio digital camera and an HP printer hooked up to the iMac, and very recently, an Iomega HDD. (The latter was not connected for the tests reported above.)534/2980
Hi Drake,
Yes, it is common, and I wouldn't worry about it.
These "errors" are not about anything wrong. My guess is that it's a developer jargon to indicate that something didn't happen, only because there is no possibility of it happening given your specific settings/system options.
See for example the statements "System woke from sleep" or "System going to sleep" in "error_log"...
We don't know to what extend these "errors" belong to so many unmodified files that used to do something in UNIX 15 years ago, but are now completely useless, harmless and so small they can't affect Mac OS X performance in any way?
Enjoy your Mac!

SUDO is causing entries in the console log. A Virus?
Hello,
I was looking through my OSX installation and I found this mysterious file placed in my Application Support Folder in my library:
username/library/application support/7103555
It is named "7103555" and it is a Unix Executable File (according to "Get Info")
I am worried it might be a virus. I don't recall putting it there. The only time I used terminal so far was to open a Profile Manager for Mozilla Thunderbird. I see that it mentions PrinterNotification and I do recall installing an HP printer driver. Is that where it might have come from. Is this normal? May I delete it? Should I reset something back in console? I am not sure what to do here.
Should I be concerned?
Thank you for any advice.
This is what it looks like when I open it:
cd /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/PrinterNotifications.bundle/Contents/MacOS
# SUDO is causing entries in the console log making me believe
# that it's not getting run correctly. I am removing SUDO from the
# command lines.
#sudo ./makequeues -u
#sudo ./makequeues -r
./makequeues -u;./makequeues -r&
exit 0Mulder,
<<sarcasm mode on>>
You got me there: I can't even spot a simple shell script and figure out what it does and why. Nor could I explain it in plain 'Merican English to poor ol' rainforest. Nope, I must have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about.
<<sarcasm mode off>>
HINT: This is well within my area of expertise.
To quote one of your compadres, who "borrowed" it from answers.com:
"computer virus n. A computer program that is designed to replicate itself by copying itself into the other programs stored in a computer. It may be benign or have a negative effect, such as causing a program to operate incorrectly or corrupting a computer's memory."
A little further on in the same page:
"Virus
Software used to infect a computer. After the virus code is written, it is buried within an existing program. Once that program is executed, the virus code is activated and attaches copies of itself to other programs in the system. Infected programs copy the virus to other programs."
and
"Viruses Must Be Run to Do Damage
A virus is not inserted into data. It is a self-contained program or code that attaches itself to an existing application in a manner that causes it to be executed when the application is run."
On to Leap-A, from the description in Macworld (edited for brevity and clarity):
"...[W]hen you try to launch the newly-infected application, an apparent bug ... in the code prevents it [the application] from launching. But, ... a lot just happened:
A Spotlight search for the most-recently-used user-owned applications is run, and ... up to four of those programs at a time are infected...
The above process will repeat each time you try to launch an infected application."
The process described above fully conforms to the definition. Therefore, your, uh, "1337" assertion is wrong: Leap-A IS a virus.
-Wayne
PS I'll even make a more radical assertion: The first OS X viruses were written in 1983 by Fred Cohen. My source? Professor Cohen (after all, he invented the computer virus), who told me, "the first viruses written for the original experiments run on current Mac OSX systems without even a recompilation." -
Errors in Console.log when using OfficeJet 6210
Just ended a long, frustrating attempt to get support from HP regarding errors that appear in the console.log when scanning to PDF. They claim it's not their software -- The tech actually claimed that their software was thoroughly tested, ships bug-free and that it's 100% an Apple issue.
Here's what gets spewed into console.log:

I tried to pass-on the info to HP, but I received the response, "Console.log is not an HP application. You will have to contact the vendor of Console.log and inform them of the error." -
Please suggest me the best way to start learning about Oracle Purchasing.
Hi,
I have started reading about Oracle Procurement. I have an over all idea of how ERP functions. Anyhow I am like a fresher to ORACLE APPS. Can you pleasesuggest me what is the best way to start learning about Oracle Purchasing.
Is it is throuhg user guides or some thing else..... can you please specify the references also.......
Thank you so much.If you have a sponsorship, I would recommend taking classes with Oracle University. The other resources are documentation, functional and technical depending on what your interests are.
If you can load Vision database or access vision database (I think solutionbeacon offers a free account to login and play around), that will be another resource as well.
As you learn, join as much user groups like this one, and review all questions and answers in the discussions to understand and learn more.
Hope this helps. -

The "volumes" was a camera card I had inserted and I was able to view the information on it fine...The only problem I've been having is the battery not charging, but haven't determined if it's the adapter or battery or computer...or all the above (lol, if possible). The computer also used to go to "sleep" a few times randomly while in use...but it hasn't done it again yet...so far...? But I have no idea if any of these errors have to do with that.

Deleting hidden folders and console.log files
I have heard that OS X logs activity of various programs and Applications in hidden folders/files.
Can someone please tell me how to view and delete this information in the hidden folder(s) without compromising my OS X system?
Also, how do I delete information in the console.log folders?
Thank you.
MaverichHi Maverich!
The invisible files & folders are hidden for a reason!
If you don't know exactly what you are doing, you shouldn't muck about with them!
The Mac OS X is very good at protecting us from being our own worst enemy.
Your Mac runs Cron Scripts daily, weekly, & monthly, if the Mac is left on 24/7.
If you prefer, you may also choose to run them manually.

Will the console log show a history of random shutdowns?
My macbook has suddenly started the random shutdown problem. It started a couple of days ago, I'd had no problems up until then. At one point today it was shutting down immediately on waking from sleep, and then would only stay on for about two minutes with the fans racing before, bang, off it would go. I left it alone in exasperation, then returned to try again, and this time it lasted around an hour before shutting down repeatedly again. I will need to take it home to the UK to my local Apple service centre and I am worried that if it doesn't actually shut down in front of them when they have it they will tell me there is no problem and won't repair it. I know that this macbook has the RSS issue now but it really is random, so can I prove it from the console log? I looked through this just now and of course most of it means nothing to me but I did notice that there was a line saying "cause of last shutdown -72" occuring many times since this started. Does anyone know what this refers to and will it show that the problem is definitely happening?
What does the holding the button down trick do?
From the Apple article I referenced in your earlier thread:
"If your MacBook is in a state where it will not remain on long enough to install the update, wait for the issue to reproduce itself. Once the MacBook has turned itself off, turn the computer on the by holding the power button down. Keep the button down until you hear a single long tone. Once you hear the tone you can release the button, install the recommended updates, and restart as you would expect."
Allegedly, this throttles the CPU to 1 GHz.
And I am slightly worried that a2dox says that the
problem returned even after the repair..!
Different experiences for different people, during the period when Apple had not yet figured out the problem. Their contract repair facility was doing different repairs, some getting heat sink replacements, some logic board replacements, some both, and, later, some a differently designed heat sink. When one of those repairs didn't fix the problem, they would do another.
