At the time this help page was written, the "syslog" part of
this command's output was empty, because this tool had not yet been
adjusted to our switch to systemd. If it is still empty, you can
retrieve the "syslog" by doing (as root)
journalctl -a > journalctl.txt. If you don't have a lot of
diskspace, you can, for instance, take the last 5000 lines of the log
instead with: journalctl -a | tail -n5000 >
journalctl5000.txt.
