Shutdown messages not showing in systemd journal

hi.

When I shut down my pc with 'poweroff' command, I get a few warning messages like 'warn: ... wayland broken pipe ...'
The messages disappear too fast to read before the power goes out.

They don't show up with 'journalctl -b -1'
Is there any way to retrieve these messages?

Re: Shutdown messages not showing in systemd journal

If you have a phone you have a camera that can probably read faster than you
The error hints at an unclean takedown of the session (ie. your wayland server terminates and catches at least some still running processes by surprise)
