General :: After Installing BackTrack5 / Booting To HDD Fails To Display GUI
Aug 1, 2011I'm writing this post from the BT5 Live CD. However, after install and reaching a CLI (on the HDD), when I run startx, my monitor simply displays 'invalid format' (obviously this works fine via the LiveCD)... I've installed Ubuntu and Fedora a few times on a few machines, and have never had any issues with the display... not sure where to start troubleshooting.

General :: Putting A Remote Syslog Into Its Own File?
Aug 11, 2010I have a Tomato router and it has the capability to have its logs go to a external server. syslog is the obvious choice for this. So I enabled remote logging on my linux server's syslogd (syslogd -r) and I can see all of the logs in /var/log/syslog. What I want to do is take everything that comes from the IP of my router (10.0.0.1) and divert it to its own file like /var/log/tomato to avoid polluting my syslog with external logs.
I can't find any examples of someone doing this. My only solution is to get a script together that strips out any line in /var/log/syslog with 10.0.0.1 in it and puts the line into /var/log/tomato and have the script run as a cron job, but that seems unnecessarily messy.
Unless someone knows that there is a solution, I'm 95% sure that syslog doesn't support this after reading more in-depth of the man page. So I need to migrate to syslog-ng or make a crazy script that runs with cron.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Syslog - Access Log Of Apache Not Working
Aug 11, 2011I am running a syslogd on my ubuntu 10.10 system. I have a apache2 server on the same machine. I have configured my apache2.conf file to send the error logs to the local syslog server.
The config is as under :-
LogLevel notice
ErrorLog syslog:local1
I have also configured the /etc/syslog.conf as under :-
local1.info /var/log/apache2/error_logs
I have created a file in the /var/log/apache2 dir with the ownerships and permissions as under:-
-rwxrwxrwx 1 syslog adm 77 2011-08-11 18:14 /var/log/apache2/error_logs
Next I restarted the sysklogd and apache2 servers with a service command as under:-
sudo service sysklogd restart
sudo service apache2 restart
I thereafter observed the /var/log/apache2/error_logs file and found the entries for apache2 closing down and coming up as under:-
Aug 11 18:14:14 cc apache2[4940]: [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
Aug 11 18:14:19 cc apache2[5282]: [notice] ModSecurity for Apache/2.5.12 [URL] configured.
Aug 11 18:14:19 cc apache2[5282]: [notice] Original server signature: Apache/2.2.16 (Ubuntu) mod_ssl/2.2.16 OpenSSL/0.9.8o
Aug 11 18:14:20 cc apache2[5285]: [notice] Apache/2.2.16 (Ubuntu) mod_ssl/2.2.16 OpenSSL/0.9.8o Microsoft-IIS/5.0 configured -- resuming normal operations
Now the problem is I donot get any other messages thereafter. So it is hardly useful. How can I increase the logged messages from apache. I tried the facility:
local1.*
Then restarted the sysklogd and apache2, but the contents of the /var/log/error_logs file remained similar. Next, I followed the link. I created the perl script for recording access logs of apache2. I then restarted the apache2 and sysklogd. when I opened my website from a browser, the access log did not work. I think I am getting something wrong with the facility value , in apache2.conf it is ErrorLog syslog:local1 ! but the script is suggesting that it should be local2 in the line 4
openlog('apache','cons','pid','local2');
I therefore changed the script to local1 in above line. But still no access log?
General :: Identify The USB Device Repeatly Being Reset In Syslog?
Apr 13, 2010I noticed there're lots of "usb 3-1: reset low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2" warnings in two of our server's syslog. They occur roughly every 20min. The server is a Dell R710 with CentOS 5.4 X86_64 installed. I suspect it's the virtual CD device of the iDrac6 but not sure. How Can I identify which USB device triggering these warning? The related syslog is as following:
Code:
Apr 13 23:32:47 bak2 kernel: usb 3-1: reset low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
Apr 13 23:42:44 bak2 kernel: usb 2-3: USB disconnect, address 3

General :: Syslog Allow Organizing Stored Simple Log Files
Sep 15, 2010Syslog is used to store simple log files or we can manage them too? Well, the thing is, that I need to run a software (like syslog) to collect my logs and put them in order and organize them so it makes them "understandable". I have been told that syslog can do the job and that it doesn't need a complex configuration to work.

May 20, 2010I set up rsyslog for the first time on my sole Linux server (Debian Lenny), and I am using one PC to test it over the next few days. I currently have the Windows syslog daemon disabled so only the client is active.Before I recommend using it to collect logs from our production servers, has anyone heard of or had any problems with Syslog for Windows (URL...) running on XP/2003/etc? From what I've read is that since it sends the data over the network using UDP instead of TCP or an NFS mount, there should be no potential for problems.
View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Enabling / Disabling Specific Priority In Syslog.conf?
May 11, 2011Trying to figure out why the following two are treated differently...
Code:
*.warn;
kern.!=debug;auth.none;
authpriv.none;cron.none;mail.none;news.none -/var/log/syslog
and
[Code]....
According to man syslog.conf "You can specify multiple facilities with the same priority pattern in one statement using the comma (``,'') operator. You may specify as much facilities as you want. Remember that only the facility part from such a statement is taken, a priority part would be skipped."
Can someone confirm that this statement means that kern.!=debug is ignored in the first part because it's priority is not the same as the trailing facilities ending in .none?

Apr 20, 2011I am a Novell (now defunct) CNE tring to learn Linux and am having a lot of trouble finding out where the WB 6-6 is wrong in the syntax for adding local4... the the syslog-ng config file. In the instructions there are discrepancies between commas and simi-comma, they are both in the statements in no particular order. there is no pattern to them. Here is what the book shows:
filter f_local4debug { level(debug) and facility(local4); };
When I try to input this in the Gnome terminal window to try and find out where it goes wrong I get the following: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token "(" If I can get the correct syntax I belive I can use the info to get past the rest of this portion of the lesson. I am desperate to learn Linux as the only jobs out there for a Novell CNE are migrations to MS, which really sucks, since MS really really sucks.
