[Solved] journalctl output is truncated

Hi,
it's maybe a really dumb question but I didn't get it why it isn't working
I want to look at the log of my system but it is always truncated at 9:00 am and states "-- Reboot --" but I have an uptime of 5 days.  That is how it looks today:
$ uptime
09:45:23 up 5 days, 18:13, 3 users, load average: 0,52, 0,47, 0,46
$ sudo journalctl
-- Logs begin at Mo 2013-10-07 15:32:51 CEST, end at Mo 2014-01-20 09:34:29 CET. --

-- Reboot --
Jan 20 09:01:01 wigrid CROND[16397]: pam_unix(crond:session): session closed for user http
I want to see the log of this night, but there is no way. I have this problem for some days now and also tried to reboot, but then is still the issue, that the log disappear on 9:00 am. Could this be caused by a log rotating system? Or log size config option?
Thanks,
kabum

I don't know why (it's not clear from the man page) but, at least for me, log entries are not listed chronologically by default.
Have you tried calling journalctl with some arguments, like:
journalctl -r
for reverse ordering?
Alternatively, you could output only the last lines:
journalctl -n 100
which again sorts entries by time.
Or maybe this is not related to your problem, in which case I'm sorry for not being helpful.

  • Downloading converted PDF file - output is truncated

    Hi -
    My requirement is to convert an SAP spool to a PDF file and download it to the presentation server. It is working, however, when I open the PDF file, the output is truncated such that only 132 characters of each line are being displayed (instead of the desired 255). Any ideas? Thanks.

    James,
    The PDF the table parameter of function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF have a data element TLINE which have length of 132, so you need to do something this way
      data : begin of out occurs 0.
           include structure solisti1.
      data : end of out.
      call function 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'

          no_dialog   = 'X'
        tables

        exceptions
          others      = 0.
      clear: pos,

  • [SOLVED] HDMI output not working

    I just bought myself a home theater system but can't get my laptop to connect to the reciever.
    My laptop is an Asus UX31E with integrated HD 3000 graphics. When I connect a HDMI cable to the reciever (Pioneer VSX-527) it doesn't even detect my laptop. If I go into the Cinnamon/GNOME display settings, it doesn't even show that I'm connected to an external display.
    In pavucontrol I'm able to select the HDMI as an output, but it doesn't play any sounds on the reciever (which plays just fine from radio, so at least the speakers are connected correctly).
    What to do?
    Edit:
    And here's the output from xrandr:
    HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
    Solved:
    Derp, faulty cable.

    Hi:
    The only suggestion I can offer would be to try the graphics driver from AMD if you have not already done so.
    Your notebook is not supported by HP for W7, and especially not supported for 32 bit operating systems.
    http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/mobile?os=Windows%207%20-%2032
    As a last resort, try manually installing the W7 x64 graphics driver from your notebook's support and driver page (sp66999).
    I explored the driver folder, and there are 32 bit drivers included in that file.

  • [SOLVED] Journalctl is not formatting correctly and is not in color.

    My user is a member of adm, but when I run journalctl it just prints out the "ESC[1;39m" instead of formating it in bold or red for errors.
    example line:
    Nov 04 12:16:24 red5 kernel: ESC[1;39mLinux version 3.6.5-1-ARCH (tobias@T-POWA-LX) (gcc version 4.7.2 (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 31 20:57:39 CET 2012ESC[0m
    If I run it as sudo journalctl it formats everything as expected. I'm using xterm and less.

    I figured out at least a workaround, I'm not sure if this is the best way to do things, but so far it's the only thing that's worked.
    Here's my pager and less environment variables from .bashrc:
    export LESS='-j4aR'
    export PAGER="less"
    The option that fixed it is -R, here's what it says on the less man page:
    -R or --RAW-CONTROL-CHARS
    Like -r, but only ANSI "color" escape sequences are output in "raw" form. Unlike -r, the screen appearance is maintained correctly in most cases. ANSI "color" escape sequences are sequences
    of the form:
    ESC [ ... m
    where the "..." is zero or more color specification characters For the purpose of keeping track of screen appearance, ANSI color escape sequences are assumed to not move the cursor. You can
    make less think that characters other than "m" can end ANSI color escape sequences by setting the environment variable LESSANSIENDCHARS to the list of characters which can end a color escape
    sequence. And you can make less think that characters other than the standard ones may appear between the ESC and the m by setting the environment variable LESSANSIMIDCHARS to the list of
    characters which can appear.
    I'm still not sure why I need to do this on my desktop and not on any other machines.

    Hello Experts,
    When we are creating an infoset query from SQ01, the preview of output just below the screen is truncated.
    Example when I select personnel area as output with value and text, the value is only displayed as 1 character and the text 8 characters. But when I click start ouput their original output size is displayed.
    I already checked the output length of the fields and they are correct. The lengths are correct when start output is clicked.
    Any ideas on what should I check?
    Thanks in advance!

    Please follow the below stepas . (here pseudo code)
    In Data Section
    DATA: str1 TYPE string,
               str2 TYPE string,

    If you have more strings to compare ..declare those like that.
    In 'Record processing Event' you need to use CHECK statement with CP operatoar of String

  • Stored Proc output being truncated with latest ojdbc14 and classes12.jar

    Hello,
    I downloaded the latest ojdbc14.jar from Oracle website and used it with my Java program. I noticed a peculiar behavior. If my stored proc is returning a VARCHAR with large number of characters, the output is being truncated. This worked fine with the older ojdbc14.jar (and the older classes12.jar).

  • [SOLVED] Parsing output of pacman -Qm to an bash array

    Hey guys,
    I'm currently writing a small bash script to check if there are any updates for my packages installed from the AUR. For this I need to get an array from the output of
    pacman -Qm
    . I've tried this
    packages=(`pacman -Qm`)
    , but this isn't that what I've intended for.
    I want to have an array like this
    packages=("packagename version", "packagename version" ...)
    Does anybody know the way, how to solve this problem?
    Best regards,
    the_metalgamer
    Last edited by the_metalgamer (2013-02-23 22:24:11)

    Just to clarify this:
    With the solution in post #2 the IFS variable will contain just an "n". So any package name containing an "n" will be cut into pieces.
    $ echo ${packages[1]}
    e emyli es3 1.2-1
    The correct splitting is not caused by the IFS variable but by the read command which ALWAYS stops reading at a newline no matter what the IFS is set to. So there is no need to set the IFS variable to anything different and just use
    packages=(); while read -r; do packages+=("$REPLY"); done < <(pacman -Qm)

  • Report Output is truncated

    Hello All,
    I have a requirement wherein I am downloading the contents of an internal table from a report program to the application server (AL11) as a file.
    I have written the code as below:
        LOOP AT gt_file INTO gs_file.
          TRANSFER gs_file-content TO lv_filename.
        ENDLOOP.
    where,
    the declaration is as follows:
    TYPES:  BEGIN OF ty_file              ,
                   content TYPE string        ,
                  END OF ty_file                .
    DATA: gt_file   TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_file,
               gs_file   TYPE  ty_file.
    DATA:lv_filename TYPE string .
    The problem is that in the downloaded file, for each record only 512 characters are displayed. The remaining record is truncated.
    Please help.
    I also tried declaring as:
    TYPES:  BEGIN OF ty_file              ,
                   content(5000) TYPE c      ,
                  END OF ty_file                .
    But in vain.

    Edited by: Dawood.S.Ghasletwala on Sep 10, 2008 6:47 PM

    yes it will take only 512 charters only, file created on  (al11)application server.
    but u can see full length  .txt file by download from app. server to local system by using CG3Y
    CG3Z
    there is no problem in your program, u can't see more than 512 char length in application server in SAP.
    i have also got this kind of problem.
    In this kind of interface once u create a file on all, the other system will fetch the file from AL11 and do some formating and send the related to the other external system.
    so, in SAP side our work is to create a file all 11, with required format thats it.
    if u want to see whole file check with tcode CG3Y

  • [solved]pacman output piped to grep with color result?

    Hi.  Thanks for reading. I am looking for a command with the following function:
    1. It searches only the pacakge name, not the description.
    2. However, when a package's name matches the search pattern, it shows the description of this package as well.
    After searching in the forum, now I am using something like:
    pacman -Ss test_string | grep --color=always -B1 -v '^ ' | less -R
    It works nicely in terms of my two requirements. However, I could not get the color output (I have pacman color option) from pacaman even if I used less.
    On the contrary, the following command has normal color output
    ls --color | grep test_string | less -R

    Sidenote: kittypack will 'soon' have this feature too, but it uses https://archlinux.org/packages so it is independent of the status of your sync db.
    Sorry I am confused... I know expac but it doesn't look like the function I was looking for... I wanted to search those packages whose *name* contains a string. For example the pypy3 is not what I wanted since it only has "python" in its description...
