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.

I've turned on the boot log (I think), but it is empty. So maybe it is not turned on.

It's always useful to read the thread before replying to it. Especially when necroposting.
