You can pipe journalctl through grep eg.:

Code: Select all

journalctl -r -p4 | grep xorg
Substitute "xorg" with whatever pattern you wish to search for. I rarely use -p4 (warnings, same as "--priority="warning"" but quicker to type) as it will give a flood of results but can be useful sometimes. Mostly I've used -p3 (errors) on the rare occasion I need to diagnose issues.

Xorg errors and warnings are prefixed with "(EE)" and "(WW)".

Code: Select all

[    33.902] Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
	(++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
	(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

Excuse me I meant "how show all (both non-Xorg and Xorg) warnings/errors without Xorg informational messages"

OK, that's a different question. AFAIK that's what your command should be showing. No idea why it's showing info messages as well.

Maybe gdm forwards all messages from Xorg to systemd-journald with the warning priority.
