View screensave login times MX-21.3

#1 Post by jj 5117 »

Hi.

I was trying to see the screenlock login activity on my user account.
I dug around to find how to see logs on my machine, but it seems that some log files aren't where the tutorials indicated.
I don't know if there would be a log for that in Xfce or LightDM.
I looked at the system logs, but I couldn't make enough sense of them to tell if they were login/logoff events.

Where can I look for such a log? Or, is there a good tool for this?

I also hunted for the best Forum Section to ask this in.

Thank you.

Code: Select all

System:    Kernel: 5.10.0-25-amd64 [5.10.191-1] x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 10.2.1 
           parameters: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-5.10.0-25-amd64 root=UUID=<filter> ro quiet splash 
           Desktop: Xfce 4.18.1 tk: Gtk 3.24.24 info: xfce4-panel wm: xfwm 4.18.0 vt: 7 
           dm: LightDM 1.26.0 Distro: MX-21.3_x64 Wildflower October 20  2021 
           base: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) 
Thanks for being there!

If you run QSI ( Quick System Info ) you will see on the left the list of logs. I believe one of the lightdm.logs should have that info . (Probably also the syslog.)

And you can search them ( Ctrl-F ) to find login or other events.
*QSI = Quick System Info from menu (Copy for Forum)
*MXPI = MX Package Installer
*Please check the solved checkbox on the post that solved it.
*Linux -This is the way!
