(excalibur) strange messages during startup

Hello ,

sometimes getting strange messages during starting

like

[color]udevd - unknown iidentifier ^zoom^[/color]

to my knowledge have not even installed this program

or sometimes there is error with

[color]alsa-restore[/color]

beg your pardon that the startupp is bit too slow to write down all the messages at once.

thanks

Re: (excalibur) strange messages during startup

You can run sudo dmesg in a terminal window after startup is completed to see these messages again and then copy them here exactly.

Re: (excalibur) strange messages during startup

With Excalibur/Trixie a new kernel feature has been introduced. Some additional messages are coloured now.

Look if bootlogd is installed, if not install. Then you get a subset of what is logged during boot in /var/log/boot.

Re: (excalibur) strange messages during startup

@tux_99 thanks,
this is a rather interesting command, but i think the error messages were somewhat different, will have to look at it again.

is it possible to export the contents of "dmesg" with the same color schemes as they occur inside of therminal?

there are however, some oddities, like "12661.134999] ata7: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
"

ah, now might have found one candidate , like

[12661.141912] ata7.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x1)

but the most common was "failed to restore alsa" or similar;

@rolfie, thanks , it is installed;
here is like output
