[Help]: Where is located the log file?

Hi and congratulations for the good work.

When I start hyprland I see some error messages, but the notifications promptly disappear.

Is there any log file that reports the errors?

Thanks a lot.

first lines maybe?

OK. Thanks!

Just so everybody knows, the problem arose because a plugin needed an update. How I found out:

1. There wasn't a crash log file as hyprland didn't crash.

2. I located the log file in:

/tmp/hypr/fe7b748eb668136dd0558b7c8279bfcd7ab4d759_1714609481/hyprland.log

3. The log file was barebone, I had to enable an extended log file by inserting the following lines

debug {
disable_logs=false
} 

in the hyprland conf file.

4. Turns out the only relevant information given in said log file was:

[ERR] Invalid dispatcher!

5. Bottom line: I finally managed to read the red notifications appearing as hyprland was started - this time (maybe because debug was enabled?) they didn't disappear - and they referred to the lines in the .conf file which were causing problems.
