|
|
When booting I see that at the last part of OpenRC, just before the login prompt there are 3 lines starting with *. But there is a clear screen just after those lines and then the login prompt comes. And they go by too fast to read anything of them. Now those lines are not in any log I can find in /var/log. In /run/openrc/failed there is also nothing.
The pc seems to work but I would like to read those lines... Can anybody tell me where those lines are in a log or how to prevent the clear screen before the login promt? _________________ Expert in non-working solutions

Modify the first tty line in /etc/inittab to include the --noclear option like so Code: | c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty --noclear 38400 tty1 linux | This used to be the default behavior. It will prevent the tty from clearing after boot up. _________________ First things first, but not necessarily in that order.
Apologies if I take a while to respond. I'm currently working on the dematerialization circuit for my blue box. |

Succes, but not completely...
I added the --noclear and now I can read the three lines: start-stop-deamon: failed to start '/usr/bin/wpa_supplicant' is the first and that is no surprise as I'm fighting to get wireless running on this laptop.
But the bigger issue is that now I cannot login anymore! It stops after * Starting local [ok]. Then it says INIT: Id "c1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes.
I'm digging out the minimal install cd. If anyone has a better idea in the meantime.
EDIT: lost my complete KDE configuration after this. No idea why that should any influence. _________________ Expert in non-working solutions

In case you've not already done so, changein /etc/rc.conf, and you should get some logging (not much) in /var/log/rc.log _________________ Greybeard |

Thanks, got a nice rc.log this time without any side-effects. Even better I don't have any red items anymore.
Going to open another thread for wireless because I'm not getting anywhere with that. _________________ Expert in non-working solutions |
