I am using empathy, and every time I want to browse my logs I have to do this for instance (ag is a sort of grep, if you are wondering):

cd ~/.local/share/TpLogger/logs/
ag "myterm"
cat myuser/chatrooms/#chatroom/20150409.log

This is absolutely insane; not least of all because the logs are formatted xml style - so I either have to parse them instead of just using cat or try to read between the tags.

Does empathy really have no log viewer?

  • I don't use `empathy` (it's not installed on my system) but according to [this bug report](https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663873) it should have a "log viewer"... try `empathy-logs` in terminal... – don_crissti Apr 11 '15 at 17:23
  • sadly no such command. I also don't think it is in a separate package (and certainly it should not be). – TheChymera Apr 11 '15 at 17:43
  • Apparently, it used to [be included in `empathy` package](http://manned.org/empathy-logs/ca5d8fc7) but tbh, I wouldn't know. As I said, I am not familiar at all with `empathy`. – don_crissti Apr 11 '15 at 17:46
