Greetings !!
Since I tried to install an application to handle my ipod under linux (that implied installation of many libs) I got many issues (applications that won't launch anymore)
I removed the last applications/libs using rpm -qa --last and strictly removed those installed the interval I tried to install this ipod application (3rd party, from source code)
As many applications (not so many but they were useful for me) won't launch anymore I was searching for messages in /var/log --> in the var/log/messages files the last message sent was for 22 feb 4:07 am (since I rebooted many times and did things with my system).
So the problem is: there is no more logs in /var/log/messages some other logs are still updated (http://susepaste.org/66878478).
I set my /etc/sysconfig to use syslog-ng to log.
I checked the syslog-ng.conf file and remembered I disabled the redirection of logs on console 10
but this directive is still enabled
...so I expect the messages telling something is going wrong to be added to /var/log/messages

Code:
#
# Most warning and errors on tty10 and on the xconsole pipe:
#
#destination console { file("/dev/tty10" suppress(30) owner(-1) group(-1) perm(-1)); };
#log { source(src); source(chroots); filter(f_console); destination(console); };
#destination xconsole { pipe("/dev/xconsole" suppress(30) owner(-1) group(-1) perm(-1)); };
#log { source(src); source(chroots); filter(f_console); destination(xconsole); };Code:
#
# All messages except iptables and the facilities news and mail:
#
destination messages { file("/var/log/messages" suppress(30) owner(-1) group(-1) perm(-1)); };
log { source(src); source(chroots); filter(f_messages); destination(messages); };
