where are /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/messages
 
Hi,

I have recently upgraded to fedora 21 (kernel version 3.17.8-200.fc20.x86_64) and I cannot find
/var/log/dmesg and /var/log/messages !

Have been removed? Is this because the OS's are going to replace init? Or, this is a problem in my system?

Yup, that's a new feature of systemd, or journald... Use the journald commands instead. You can also look in .local for some of those files, eg. Xorg.logs

Hiding logs is a feature, wow what a great idea!

You now know why there has been a kerfuffle over SystemD.
