When i type ~/.chia/mainnet/log/debug.log it says command not found. What am I doing wrong?
You need to add some program to open it. You can try vi /path/debug.log to open in CLI or if you have window manager you can type gedit /path/debug.log to open it.
Or if you want to print all the lines from the file do cat /path/debug.log - this will print a lot of things, but its an option.

I still dont know how to go about it? Im new to this. Thanks
Hi @Coinxt ,
“~/.chia/mainnet/log/debug.log” is the adress of your logfile. You need to use a program to open it. As Baylicious said, you need to use the command “vi /path/debug.log” or “gedit /path/debug.log” !

@Coinxt what are you trying to find in the debug log? Maybe we could help with a specific command…
Another way you can try is - open your Files program and navigate to your Home directory, then press Ctrl+H so it shows hidden files. Locate the .chia directory and then navigate to mainnet/log and double click on debug.log it should open.

I got the file opened! I would like to change the log level to INFO to check harvester times. How do I do that?
Got it - the debug.log will contain the actual logs the program outputs, to change the log level go to the .chia/mainnet/config directory and open config.yaml. Search for WARNING it should be like log_level: WARNING and replace the warning part with INFO. Save and restart your chia client.
To be on the safer side, create a copy of config.yaml before starting, you can just copy/paste in the same dir.

Thanks! Will restarting the chia client terminate my current plotting?
If you are plotting via GUI and/or on the same machine, yes it will.
