I want to create a bugreport using ubuntu-bug and I would like to include the log files of Gnome Display Manager (GDM) which I found in /var/log/gdm. To minimize the noise that may be in the logs I would like to empty them before I reproduce the bug.

What is the best way to empty the log files?

There are several ways to do this. You can move the log file to a backup with

sudo mv gdm.log gdm.log.old

and then you can create an empty file with

sudo touch gdm.log
