[SOLVED] which log file has startup error messages in it and where is it

Basic question I thought I knew the answer to - but don't.

Running Manjaro Cinnamon and getting a consistent "dependency" error about a uuid at the very beginning of booting in Manjaro.

Quote:
[ -- ] A start-job is running for /dev/disk/by-uuid/<long identifier>
[ TIME ] Timed out waiting for /dev/disk/by-uuid/<long identifier>
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for /dev/.....
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Swap
Mounting Temporary Directory (/tmp)
[ OK ] Mounted Temporary Directory (/tmp)
Can't find that UUID in blkid either..??

I can't find a file called "boot.log" or "syslog" or anything similar. Every source I've looked at (2 books, multiple sites incl. this one) are saying things just differently enough to tie me in knots here. There's supposed to a "syslog" entry in the menu, but it isn't there

Any help, pls? :confused:latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=Olb-zzHYcSI:K8Vqg-ZlqeE:F7zBnMy latest?i=Olb-zzHYcSI:K8Vqg-ZlqeE:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=Olb-zzHYcSI:K8Vqg-ZlqeE:gIN9vFwOlb-zzHYcSI
