Annoying bug? Console loglevel set too high after resuming from sleep/hibernation.

English Install/Boot/Login

Hi.

On my install of openSUSE 12.3 RC2 after a reboot I have:


 > /sbin/sysctl kernel.printk
 kernel.printk = 1       4       1       7

Here console loglevel is 1, meaning only very important stuff is printed.

However after resuming from either sleep or hibernation I have:


 > /sbin/sysctl kernel.printk
kernel.printk = 5       4       1       7

Console loglevel is now 5, which means that for example firewall events (which happen fairly often) get sent to the ttys (ctrl+alt+f1,2,3…), rendering them pretty much useless.

Would this be considered a bug? I assume it isn’t the intention that the ttys be flooded with firewall logs, and it seems strange that the loglevel should change after resuming from sleep.

I also think I’ve experienced this in openSUSE 12.2, but I don’t have an installation to test it on right now.

I would believe it is. Report in Bugzilla, let them sort it out.
I’ll try this out if I remember, next time I boot test system :slight_smile:

I saw this on 12.1 and 12.2 myself. Probably worth reporting as a bug.

Thanks, I’ve gone ahead and filed my first bug report :). I’ve also checked my 12.2 install at work and the problem exists there as well.
