Enabling Boot Log after LMDE UP4

[5hades0f6rey]

How does one do it?! Or is this no longer possible???

I'm getting unexpected errors during boot that scroll off the screen too fast and/or I'm getting black screens (AMD driver and UP4 don't seem to like each other at all). If i can enable boot logging, then I could access the logs remotely via telnet/ssh. However, it would appear that /etc/default/bootlogd is no longer present after installing UP4 and recreating it doesn't seem to help either.

I only know:
/var/log/kern.log

/etc/default/bootlogd is no longer present after installing UP4

It's obsolete now.

So just run

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install bootlogd

and that should do it

Many thanks. I missed that while searching, I kept finding pages referencing the now obsolete method.

Many thanks here, too. The 3.2 kernel clears the screen after booting. I missed having those boot messages to check for errors.
