How can I view the startup log in Linux?
To view the startup log of Linux, you can use the following command:
- You can use the dmesg command to view the kernel logs during system startup. Enter the following command:
- display kernel ring buffer
- This will display the kernel messages from the most recent boot.
- You can view the system log file at /var/log/syslog. Enter the following command:
- Display the contents of the syslog file.
- This will display the log messages during system startup.
- You can view Systemd logs using the journalctl command. Enter the following command:
- systemd logging utility
- This will display Systemd log messages during system startup.
- To display only the most recent log messages, you can use the -n parameter, for example:
- Show the last 100 entries in the journal logs.
- This will display the latest 100 log messages.
The above commands may require superuser privileges (root) to run correctly. If you do not have root access, you can use the sudo command to execute these commands. For example, use sudo dmesg to view the kernel logs.
