Boot log in openSUSE 12.1

English Hardware
#1

Hi everyone,

Could anyone tell me where the boot log are saved?
I’d found out /var/log/boot.msg but It’s empty, Any idea?

Cheers!

I find one of the most useful log files is
/var/log/messages

#3

You may see detailed boot messages by running:


dmesg | less

I added the “less” so it only displays one page at a time, in case you need to run from console, essentially you’ll just hit page down or the down arrow key to scroll.

You may find more in:/var/log/messages

sudo cat /var/log/messages | less

Systemd almost doesn’t print messages to tty1, and writes the booting
entries on /var/log/messages. No support for boot.msg.
