Title: Where are messages generated during boot kept?
Post by: NewUser on September 19, 2019, 11:26:41 PM

I just installed TinyCorePure64 on a thumbdrive today, then booted successfully. Then I installed various programs; acpid, alsa, flax, etc. The next time I rebooted, following "Loading extensions", I see a list of error messages. The boot completes.

Where may I find those error messages?  I'm hoping one will explain why flaxpdf.tcz does not work. Thanks.

How did you install the extensions - using the apps gui, using "tce-load" or?

If you are using the "syslog" boot code, you might see some useful error messages in /var/log/messages.

If you open a terminal window and enter the command "flaxpdf", what error messages so you get?

They are not logged, but add the "pause" bootcode, and you can scroll up with shift-pageup.

All were installed with the Apps GUI. Thanks, curaga, I'll return with the messages.

Here is the message:
udevd[133]: unknown key 'RUN(program)' in /etc/udev/rules.d/73-seat-late.rules:17

All messages are the same.

Your help is appreciated.

P.S.   I tried to start acpid manually (it is installed) and acpid fails to remain started. dbus is the same, though I'm not sure the mesages relate

Sorry, that should have been:

Code: [Select]

udevd[133]: unknown key 'RUN(program)' in /etc/udev/rules.d/73-seat-late.rules:17

What did you do to start the dbus daemon and how do you know that it is not running?

It was just a test. I used the Services app in the Control Panel. But is that just a symptom of the messages I posted above?

If you want to check if it’s working do this:

Code: [Select]

$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus start
$ ps aux | grep dbus

I'll do that. What are your thoughts about the error messages I listed above?

The message is probably irrelevant.
