1You are looking for the traditional text log files in /var/log, and they are
2gone?

4Here's an explanation on what's going on:

6You are running a systemd-based OS where traditional syslog has been replaced
7with the Journal. The journal stores the same (and more) information as classic
8syslog. To make use of the journal and access the collected log data simply
9invoke "journalctl", which will output the logs in the identical text-based
10format the syslog files in /var/log used to be. For further details, please
11refer to journalctl(1).
12
13Alternatively, consider installing one of the traditional syslog
14implementations available for your distribution, which will generate the
15classic log files for you. Syslog implementations such as syslog-ng or rsyslog
16may be installed side-by-side with the journal and will continue to function
17the way they always did.
