[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] where are my log files?

[From: Christine Liu]

hi all -

i am incapable of finding any log files or messages on my maemo. i'm
logged in as root...

/var/log exists as a directory but there is *nothing* inside of this
folder. not even hidden files.

the reason i'm asking is because i'm trying to set up a simple Desktop
shortcut (à la http://n770.herraiz.org/archives/16) that runs a python
script. everything works, i just want to implement the icon shortcut.

however, i'm having issues. for one thing i get errors like 'root is
not in the sudoers file' and things like that. but for now i'm just
trying to figure out the log mystery, which might help point toward
the solution here.

thank you!
