found 826297 232-3 retitle 826297 really should document the Debian way to create /shutdown-log.txt thanks
Many Debian users will read https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Debugging/#diagnosingshutdownproblems and scratch their heads about why no /shutdown-log.txt is produced. Therefore, please in /usr/share/doc/systemd/README.Debian.gz at Debugging boot/shutdown problems mention the *Debian way* of making /shutdown-log.txt, namely just without the /usr prepended to /lib/systemd/system-shutdown/debug.sh ! P.S., won't the advice 'For shutdown problems, run "systemctl start debug-shell" as root, then shut down.' often just make something that flies off the screen and then the computer goes blank? Hence you really need to document the method to make /shutdown-log.txt ! P.P.S., also please mention any hazards to leaving systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_target=kmsg log_buf_len=10M enforcing=0 on the kernel command line and always producing /shutdown-log.txt just in case one time one would like to look at it. Will the system run slower etc.?
