firestarter-user

[BR W. <bwr...@gm...>]

I am running Ubuntu 11.10.  Ever since Ubuntu 11.04, when you launch 
Firestarter you get the "Firestarter error" message as follows.

Failed to open the system log

No event information will be available

My question is:  How does one open a "Firestarter system log", where is 
it located, what is it named, and can this be done manually by me?

Thanks for any help you can give.
