No bootlogs in 10.4/Lucid

[Kristian9K]

Hi,
I just installed Ubuntu 10.4 from the mini.iso. I simply can't get the bootlogs to show anything of value. In /var/log....

"boot" is empty
"boot.log" shows only six lines
"boot.0" shows about eight lines
- and I have a file called "boot~" which shows perhaps twelve lines.

This is after trying suggestions from here and launchpad. Please help if you can as there seems to be something amiss during boot and I'd like to have it sorted out.

Best,
Kristian

dmesg usually works.

I know, but I need the boot log.

Try this:

gksu gedit /etc/default/bootlogd

Change the value to "Yes"

# Run bootlogd at startup ?
BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes

On reboot, check /var/log/boot.log

Hi. Forgot to mention that I did that already.

Post boot.0 up here.
