Boot messages and another things

[inukaze]

Hi there, i just want a utility like the forget "bootlogd" for put exactly the same output the user watch when the system is starting up because dmesg put a lot of things, and not exactly the same output from tty1 to /var/log/boot.log

i remember i use under Slackware(64) 14.2 but i don't remember what exactly i do, because when i try to convert a debian package the bootlogd don't log any thing under slackware(64) 14.2 at the end i had fix but i really don't remember what i do for that.

Thing 1 why when i pres Ctrl+RePag or Shift+RePag or Ctlr+Shift+RePag at tty1 i can't read the before lines to see all output
to see some errors i notice during boot but i too fast to read complete line.

Thing 2 what are the best software(s) to burn under Xfce, Brasero ? xfburn ? still i need growiso(fs), eMovix, etc . . . ?

Thing 3 can you make a poll to make the question which programs are most use in the raw tty env (without X / X.Org, XFree86 , Mir, Wayland, etc . . . similars), for put in the common initrd from this distro ?

Well i had solve the " bootlogd " by the follow way :

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
wget -c 'http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/sysvinit/bootlogd_2.96-7+deb11u1_amd64.deb'
deb2tgz bootlogd_2.96-7+deb11u1_amd64.deb
installpkg bootlogd_2.96-7+deb11u1_amd64.txz ; ldconfig
echo 'BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes' | tee /etc/default/bootlogd

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/rc.d/rc.S

on my case i add the follow lines starting at line 12 :

#bootlogd
if [ -x /sbin/bootlogd ]; then
/sbin/bootlogd -c -d &
fi

Save & Exit

Reboot the machine, and you now can read like

Code: Select all

cat /var/log/boot

Well trying to solve things, for example

Code: Select all

Sat Feb 1 00:50:56 2025: Starting virtlockd: /usr/sbin/virtlockd -d
Sat Feb 1 00:50:56 2025: install: invalid user 'sanlock'

i know the solution for SanLock, because i post Here!

# Sanlock : its used by virt-manager (or some component)

Code: Select all

sudo su
 
groupadd -g 363 sanlock
useradd -u 363 -d /var/run/sanlock -s /bin/false -g sanlock sanlock
usermod -a -G disk sanlock

# The curious thing for me is this, appears after i install and confgure VirtualGL 3.1.2 - From src

Sat Feb 1 00:50:57 2025: /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: file /etc/opt/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key does not exist
Sat Feb 1 00:50:57 2025: /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: (argv):1: couldn't query Security extension on display ":0"
Sat Feb 1 00:50:57 2025: /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: file /etc/opt/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key does not exist

Code: Select all

ls -la /etc/opt/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 52 feb 1 00:50 /etc/opt/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key

well by the moment i don't know from where is read that things of VirtualGL because inside the rc.d folders and file, nothing try to ran VirtualGL.
i going to solve in another moment.
