I am having errors pop up quickly (can't read them) before my login window appears. I can't find them in syslog. Is there some way I can figure out what these errors are?

Executing journalctl -b
"should do the trick" ... this will show the journal entries that have been collected since the most recent reboot. journalctl -b -1
shows the entries from the boot event before. Reference (and information) : How To Use Journalctl to View and Manipulate Systemd Logs
To see additional options you have with journalctl
, such like journalctl -b --list-boots
,
you can check them out by executing the commands journalctl --help
or man journalctl
.

journalctl
is powerful tool. If you have 16.04 you can't see previous boots until you configure it: askubuntu.com/a/1008210/307523 Jun 29, 2018 at 10:52
dmesg
or godmesg > dmesg.log
& the log will be in your home folder to read thru.
