Just installed natty, and cannot find /var/log/messages. Also, /var/log/daemon.log is missing. What happened? Why are they no longer present? And where I can find the same log information?

/var/log/messages has been deleted from Natty.
You can find the same info in /var/log/syslog. Note that everything logged to messages was also logged to syslog.

6For reference: by default, the rules specifying what gets logged where are in
/etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf, as they're loaded by the$IncludeConfigdirective in/etc/rsyslog.conf. – Piskvor left the building Jul 26 '12 at 8:42 -

You can use the following line to check the real time progress of system.
tail -f /var/log/syslog
Using CTRL-C to exit out from that.
For example, you can open up the terminal and plug in a USB on your computer, the OS will log what type of USB, where is it mounting to, if the tracker-store.service is successful.
