Public bug reported:
VERSION="13.10, Saucy Salamander" ID=ubuntu ID_LIKE=debian PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 13.10" VERSION_ID="13.10" vmlinux-3.11.0-5-powerpc-e500mc When SysRQ is enabled through /proc : echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq All responses from SysRQ sequences are redirected to /var/log/syslog , not the serial console. For instance: SySRQ ( break ) l Is suppose to report CPU stack traces . The summary is sent to v/var/log/syslog , not the serial port, which defeats the entire purpose of SysRQ feature which is intended for diagnostics of server issues. The logging behavior can redirected to the console by using : dmesg --console-on This should be the default behavior for ppc ; It is also how x86 has worked in the past. ** Affects: linux-ppc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1282201 Title: SysRQ over serial console redirects to syslog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ppc/+bug/1282201/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
