Basic

Keeping track of health problems. Mostly under /var/log/.

These logs are created by syslogd (or syslog in earlier distros).

Rundown

`alternatives.log' has a bunch about other programs installing things around 5 times a day. This includes x-www-browser, which sets the default browser (supposedly - this doesn't work on i3).

It also seems to update cursor themes, man files and `montage'.

`apport.log' is empty.

auth.log' shows keyring prompot times, Gcr' prompter and a lot about CRON, the `power button'.
