Many have a debug compile option which programs in a number of hooks which usually slow things down but produce voluminous messages. Most packages do also have runtime debug options, see the package's config file which are usually well commented, the man page, or the documentation in /usr/share/doc/packagename-version/ as for hot plug i usually find the kernel log to be the first port of call, and dmesg. I am not sure how to increase the level of logging. this may help: http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/?selected=debug > > - Brad > > Jens Mayer wrote: > > >* On Thursday 03 February 2005 19:31, Bradley Serbu wrote: > > > > > > > >>Obviously thats what I ment to type.

Re: [gentoo-user] No /log/var/messages
Are the message details/events the same. I am specifically looking for the hotplug messages after plugging in an usb device. (Also, I'm not seeing those in everything, rather kernel/current) Also, does compiliing packages with the debug use flag increase the verbosity of the log? - Brad Jens Mayer wrote: * On Thursday 03 February 2005 19:31, Bradley Serbu wrote: Obviously thats what I ment to type.

With metalog check in /var/log/everything/current You should see the error there. -- Alexandre St-Pierre [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] No /log/var/messages
Yea, Obviously thats what I ment to type. I did some further research and I have determened I don't have a syslog-ng deamon runnning, but I have metalog. I'm going to find and play around with those config files to see where my messages are being filtered to. This raises another question. What is the most widley used/best logger available? - Brad Dirk Raeder wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Bradley Serbu wrote: Hello All, I am tring to figure out why my DWL-122 usb wlan card isn't working and I've noticed serveral references to /log/var/messages, which I don't have!
