Debian activate bootlogd

April 25, 2013 by Igor Drobot 1 Comment

log

At each system restart, userspace messages will be logged to “/var/log/boot”.

This will help to analyse problems on remote systems, like you have a monitor during a boot progress.

Was tested on Debin Wheezy:

1
apt-get install bootlogd

apt-get install bootlogd

After reboot the system will log into /var/log/boot.
There are some ascii sight so we have to make it more human readable:

1
2
3
4
cp /var/log/boot . && sed

    bonjour,

    voici les retours que j’ai… est-ce normal:

    cp /var/log/boot . && sed $’s/\^\[/\E/g;s/\[1G\[/\[27G\[/’ boot
    cp: impossible d’ouvrir « /var/log/boot » en lecture: Permission non accordée

    sudo cp /var/log/boot . && sudo sed $’s/\^\[/\E/g;s/\[1G\[/\[27G\[/’ boot
    sed: -e expression n°1, caractère 22: commande `s’ inachevée
