Ctrl-Alt-F12 to show Kernel messages

2014-11-13 Thread Ron 
In a distribution I used long ago (Slackware 96 ? Mandrake 6.0 ?)  Ctrl-Alt-F12 
 would take you to a screen displaying in real time the kernel messages.

Is that possible in Debian ?
 
Cheers,
 
Ron.

If you're using journald, amend /etc/systemd/journald.conf to read:

[Journal]
ForwardToConsole=yes
TTYPath=/dev/tty12

If you're using rsyslog, add the following to /etc/rsyslog.d/tty12.conf

daemon,mail.*;\
   news.=crit;news.=err;news.=notice;\
   *.=debug;*.=info;\
   *.=notice;*.=warn   /dev/tty12

Alternatively if you want colours, there are plenty of log colourisers
that you can run, directing their output to /dev/tty12

  
 Cheers,
  
 Ron.

Yes. With syslog-ng, you can use destination d_console_all {
file(/dev/tty12); }; and set up a proper log path.

Cheers,
Simon

Thanks, this one works beautifully after rebooting.
