I use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

I have switched off the Ubuntu splash screen as I want to see what goes on when I boot and shut down my computer, and I have noticed on shutdown when it says things like "Send the kill signal to all processes [OK]"..., etc, etc, that there are some errors of missing apps (which were once installed).

I want to know where I can view a log of this verbose output, as it is too fast to catch on shutdown. Where can I find it?
