Privacy problem due to journalctl?

is this a privacy issue ?

Indeed, even if someone need accessing the phone physically to do that.

Other thing, if logs are never deleted, it's a matter of time before storage fulfilled, no ?

Are logs deleted after rebooting?

Thanks for your reply.

No, they are not deleted.

I've noticed overall there are a lot of logs (and the Logviewer is flooded). It might be good for debugging but how good is it for the ssd's on the phone actually?

@muskist
I think you found a serious issue here.
You should open one on Gitlab for that.

I'm struggling to find the proper place for that issue. Somewhere at https://gitlab.com/ubports/development I suppose. Can you help?

@muskist
I guess it is in core components https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core?page=1

But can't tell wich one handle log records.

So, i'm quite useless here

Did you search "journalctl" in repo ? (Edit : ok i did, no result...)

Could this be a good place? https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/morph-browser/-/issues

I put it there even though it seems to be a general problem of systemd/journald.

Thanks for your replies, guys.

@muskist Thank you for that catch, just wanted to add a small note the Logs should be cleared on reboot if devel mode is not enabled.

[muskist]

@beyolf Checked that earlier. Devel mode is not enabled.
