Thank you.

Sorry for being blind. Under *qemu-tests*, looking at build #1831 [1], 
clicking on *stdio* [2] under *Steps and Logfiles*, I do not see any 
Linux logs.

Just to avoid misunderstandings, it’s about the Linux run-time logs.

How can I find that report?

If the functionality already exists, great. But to be clear, it’s about 
the runtime logs.


Kind regards,
