    \n
  1. You can use the dmesg command to view the kernel logs during system startup. Enter the following command:<\/li>\n
  2. display kernel ring buffer<\/li>\n
  3. This will display the kernel messages from the most recent boot.<\/li>\n
  4. You can view the system log file at \/var\/log\/syslog. Enter the following command:<\/li>\n
  5. Display the contents of the syslog file.<\/li>\n
  6. This will display the log messages during system startup.<\/li>\n
  7. You can view Systemd logs using the journalctl command. Enter the following command:<\/li>\n
  8. systemd logging utility<\/li>\n
  9. This will display Systemd log messages during system startup.<\/li>\n
