Empty boot.log and dmesg.log files

« on: October 22, 2020, 05:10:34 PM »

Looking at /var/log/boot.log and dmesg.log I find that both logs are empty.
This is also reported when using the SME Server Manager > View Log Files command.
Is there an option to turn on boot logging?

Thanks

dmesg is not a normal log.

You can view the latest contents by simply typing

Code: [Select]

dmesg
If you want to view boot logs then look in /var/log/messages - they should be in there.

I think the /var/log/boot.log is an anachronism and looks like it was deprecated.

You can read the various links/bugs here:

The references should probably be removed.
