Startup 'error' messages

[abtygwyn]

Is there a way of either pausing or retrieving the information which is displayed on screen during start-up. I ask because it flashes by relatively quickly and I end up having to restart several times to check the information if an error message occurs. Seems to me that the system must still have the information somewhere and it would be easier to retrieve and analyse if it were avaiable in text format.

My current error reads hotplug events dispatcher udevudevd [number] run time error ....... unable to write y 'udev ..... can't remember the rest yet!!

If I could have some help with the first element, that would make life much easier regarding the problem if there is one, with the error message itself.

Thanks in advance

I have the same error but i don't see anything wrong with how the system works so i have not bothered asking here. But you are not alone. Im running LMDE by the way.

Me too. It may be something to do with the system update. I'm not sure that I'm 100% clued in as to how and when updates should be carried out. The update manager seems a bit flaky at the moment so I've been using the package manager and looking out for updated packages.

Would appreciate a bit of a shove in the right direction from somebody who knows what's what! Thanks

Most any log is accessible for reading in

Code: Select all

/var/log

. Certain commands provide easier access. You want

Code: Select all

dmesg

probably in combination with less, like this

Code: Select all

dmesg | less

.
