  <title>Debug session problems</title>

  
If you want to find more information about a problem in a session or want

  to fix it, consult the system log, which stores log data for your user session

  and applications.

  
The <file>~/.xsession-errors</file> X session log file has been deprecated

  and is no longer used.

<section id="session-log-systemd">

  <title>View session log on systemd-based systems</title>

  
On systemd-based systems, you can find the session log data in the

  <app>systemd</app> journal, which stores the data in a binary format. To view

  the logs, use the <cmd>journalctl</cmd> command.

  <steps>

    <title>To view your user session logs:</title>

    <item>
Determine your user ID (<sys>uid</sys>) by running the following

    command: 

    <screen><output>$ </output><input>id --user</input>

1000</screen></item>

    <item>
View the journal logs for the user ID determined above:

    <screen><output>$ </output><input>journalctl _UID=1000</input></screen>

    </item>

  </steps>

  
For more information on the systemd journal, see the

  <link href="man:journalctl"><cmd>journalctl</cmd></link>(1) man page.
