Description Pedro Villavicencio 2009-12-11 13:05:46 UTC 
this report has been filed here:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-utils/+bug/495408

"Not a bug but a dearly lacking feature:

gnome-system-log should have an option/preference to automatically jump to the tail of the opened log file.

I am doing quite a lot of 'log viewing' lately, and it's darned annoying, when switching from one log to another
and back, to have to hand-scroll all the way down to the tail of the log file each time."

Thanks,

gnome-system-log is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than four years ago. Its codebase has been archived at https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gnome-system-log/

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project
to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the
responsibility for active development again.
