There are multiple logs, which one do I need to look at? [root@goose64 gdm]# ls :0-greeter.log :0.log.3 :1-greeter.log.1 :1-slave.log.2 :0-greeter.log.1 :0-slave.log :1-greeter.log.2 :1-slave.log.3 :0-greeter.log.2 :0-slave.log.1 :1.log :2-greeter.log :0-greeter.log.3 :0-slave.log.2 :1.log.1 :2.log :0.log :0-slave.log.3 :1.log.2 :2-slave.log :0.log.1 :0-slave.log.4 :1-slave.log :0.log.2 :1-greeter.log :1-slave.log.1 [root@goose64 gdm]# Since this is nfs root, I can look at the logs on the server without running the system. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
