[arch-general] Where is the boot log?
Hi, I am facing some problems with alsa. During booting it shows some errors. But I don't know how to copy those and paste them here. Can someone please tell me where can I find the log file? Thanks.
Hi, I had similar problem some time ago. My problem was with the general alsa settings file that after an update had some problems. Maybe there were some problems between versions. I solved this in two diferent computers just reestaring the deamon: $sudo /etc/rc.d/alsa restart No errors when starting the PC anymore. By the way I was never able to find any place where to look to the exact error and its appearance in the screen was to quick. I think was something about alsactl command.

The error is actually something about HDA-intel not found and some control nos like #13, #14, #15 etc cant be found or adjusted. Something like that. I am not sure.

There is none, but you can disable the terminal on the first tty in /etc/inittab.

That is likely a problem with the dump of the ALSA state. Remove the file "/var/lib/alsa/asound.state" and run "/etc/rc.d/alsa stop" after that. Then the current state is dumped into a fresh file and the error should be gone. -- Regards, Richard Schütz

ok I will backup /var/lib/alsa/asound.state and try it. I guess arch should have a boot log. It is something every OS should have IMHO.

Isn't that dmesg? Or are you looking for something else?

He is looking for the error output of the scripts that are executed while booting. In his case it is the output of alsactl which is called in "/etc/rc.d/alsa". That stuff is only printed to the terminal and does not go to the kernel ring buffer. -- Regards, Richard Schütz
Scroll lock should work while booting. Ben On Fri, Mar 18, 2011 at 2:05 AM, Richard Schütz <r.schtz@t-online.de> wrote:

It does work, yes. But dont try it at my machine, where all messages float by like lightning.
