Where are the logs from underneath the splashscreen?

Question

Is there a logfile of the messages that are printed onscreen underneath the splash screen in 16.04? If so, where are they, or what is the name of the file?

Answer 1

Use dmesg to print kernel buffer ring logs, or use journalctl -b to get messages from last boot, you can take a look at /var/log/syslog too.
