   Maybe your system did, I don't get any such file even running   
   programs that I know dump out errors, but I'm using TinyX. Oh and   
   a system running Xorg 21 doesn't have it either. Anyway it's easy   
   to run programs from a terminal window for troubleshooting and   
   a log would fill up my storage space with junk messages, so I'm not   
   interested in enabling that.

   I find journalctl unclean in all the most important respects, but   
   you're welcome to it.
