Title: Any default boot log file?
Post by: willowdan on September 26, 2012, 01:44:04 AM

Greetings!

I can't seem to find any boot log file from which to trace certain error about ipv6 concerns when my customized firewall and xampp starts.

Please help.

Many thanks and cheers!

hi tinypoodle,

i booted with syslog and the boot-messages reported a started syslogd and klogd.
Sep 26 06:44:28 box syslog.info syslogd started: BusyBox v1.20.2
Sep 26 06:44:28 box user.notice kernel: klogd started: BusyBox v1.20.2 (2012-08-07 01:31:01 UTC)

under /var/log are just these three files...
root@box:/var/log# ls
autologin  messages   wtmp

are there more log-files at some place?
are these additional informations provided by syslogd and klogd included in /var/log/messages?

thank you for your help.

Hi willowdan
You can also open a terminal and execute:

Code: [Select]

dmesg | lessto see if anything of interest was logged there. Use the PageUp/PageDown buttons to navigate.
