Found the bug: gnome-system-log crashes when you make a filter and put a space in the name and click 'Apply'. Would be nice if it would give a warning instead.
The filter settings are saved as a gsettings scheme: org.gnome.gnome- system-log.filters. You can edit them with dconf-editor (org>gnome >gnome-system-log>filters). Replace the space in the name of the filter with a dash (or some other character), and gnome-system-log will work again. Be aware that there is another bug with gnome-system-log in ubuntu 13.10. It won't launch when you use a Gtk+ Shimmer theme. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1248684 Title: gnome-system-log crashed during start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-log/+bug/1248684/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
