(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

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.
