`minikube start --alsologtostderr --v=2` will start minikube and output all the important debug logs to stderr.
## Post-mortem debug logs
minikube stores post-mortem INFO logs in the temporary directory of your system. On macOS or Linux, it's easy to get a list of recent INFO logs:
`find $TMPDIR -mtime -1 -type f -name "*minikube*INFO*" -ls 2>/dev/null`
For instance, this shows:
`75318976 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 tstromberg primarygroup 718 Aug 18 12:40 /var/folders/n1/qxvd9kc11w15mc4qv6g43x80000kt3/T//minikube.tstromberg-macbookpro.tstromberg.log.INFO.20200818-124017.63501`
These are plain text log files: you may rename them to "<filename>.log" and then drag/drop them into a GitHub issue for further analysis by the minikube team. You can quickly inspect the final lines of any of these logs via:
`tail -n 10 <filename>`
for example, this shows:
```

I0818 12:40:17.027321 63501 out.go:231] isatty.IsTerminal(2) = true

## Gathering VM logs
To debug issues where Kubernetes failed to deploy, it is very useful to collect the Kubernetes pod and kernel logs:
