Hi;
It certainly helps me ;-)
To follow-up on my attempt to get bootlogd working;
When trying to use KDE's Konsole and 'sudo' to enable bootlog -- here's the
result;
~$ cd /var/log
:/var/log$ less boot
boot: Permission denied
$ sudo less boot
which then shows me no log has been created yet -- so I try;
$ sudo /sbin/bootlogd -lps
bootlogd: cannot find console device 136:2 in /dev
So now I'm searching for "136:2" and have no idea why it's looking for that,
and the /dev dir is HUGE ;-0
So I drop to a VT/VC (ctrl-alt-f2) and login as root;
then rerun above command '/sbin/bootlogd -lps'
and it *seems* to have taken affect -- but i guess i won't know for sure until
I reboot...well here goes ;-)
Regards
