1) is it possible to have dmesg output (syslog) with timestamps for each occurrence of the boot log?
2) where to find documentation/advice about which kernel functions yield each occurrence?
Recently I had to login to OS 11.3 via tty, but was unable to. Tty screen was flooded with syslog output. Instead of outputting info only on tty10 it was throwing it on every tty (1-6), I switched to.
How to fix this behaviour and restrict syslog output only to tty10?
I am running a headless Ubuntu 10.04 server with the 2.6.32-28-generic kernel. For what I can figure out no single direct cause I get a high load average and the following syslog output at random intervals. Generally the load average will drop back down to normal however the kernel errors will still continue What little I have been able to find has pointed to memory issues. I am not totaly convinced this is the cause as the server will be showing >50% free when the errors are happening.

I am looking for an open source syslog server which accumulate the each and every log of Windows, Solaris, Linux and network devices. Currently I am using Syslog-ng which is not fulfiling my requirement in Windows clients, as I need the logs of every action which user performed after logon.
View 2 Replies View Relatedtrying to replace syslog with syslog-ng. When I:
yum erase syslog,
wants to remove everything else that (presumably) has syslog as a dependency. how do I replace the dependency on syslog with a dependency on syslog-ng?
I could understand the idea of security "if I haven't touched the file in 9 days, and the timestamp was changed, I know someone was in my system". But, is there any other purpose for preserving timestamps?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI do have a log file where each line start with a timestamp:
"2011-04-30 23:58",....
"2011-04-30 23:59",....
My question is how I can alter this timestamp to e.g subtract 6 hours by using a bash script.
I noticed in my system that my root partition is getting full. I found a lot of old compacted syslogfiles. Had a look at etc/sysconfig editor eg cron but could not find a setting which allows to delete files older than a month. Where and how could I influence this ? I deleted manually all syslog files older than a month. Approx 6GB
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe requirement was to write a shell script for a cron job set for every two hours for all days.The Script has to scan log files (*.log) for the logs posted only for the last two hours.... and append them in a new file...I am clueless abt how to scan/compare based on time stamp seen in above logs.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using two NTFS formatted partitions. One is internal and holds all my data. The other is on an external hard disk and is where I back up all my data to. What I'd like to do is copy all my files from the data partition to the backup partition and preserve all the windows' timestamps (including the file creation dates).How hard can this be? Well it appears that in the case of Ubuntu the answer is very hard indeed.I'm aware that Linux does not support the concept of a file creation date natively. However, according to the ntfs-3g website, all of the windows' timestamps (including the creation date) are mapped on to the system.ntfs_times extended attribute (link). So if you preserve the extended attributes when making a copy then, in theory at least, the timestamps should also be preserved.
I read on another forum that a file's timestamps will be listed (albeit in an unreadable hex format) if you run the following command:getfattr -h -e hex -n system.ntfs_times <filename>Unfortunately however, I just cannot get it to work. With every file I've tried I simply get a message saying "no such attribute".

encfs: preserve timestamps on a shared encrypted folder?
My samba-shares are mounted in fstab. Everything works fine except for one small issue: when copying files from the local PC to the share the files are copied but the timestamps and permissions of the files are not. Instead a message "operation not permitted" appears. 'root' on the client can copy files WITH timestamp etc, a normal user cannot.
Below the line in fstab on the client and smb.conf on the server.

Does anyone know where to get documentation for KPackageKit? I've searched on KDEs web site and this forum without success. Also on Fedora.org and googling but nothing so far.I recently loaded this distro (F13) to try it out after using mostly openSUSE and some of the minimal distros. I'm finding there is quite a learning curve, even I started in linux with RedHat 5.1.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running the netbook remix on my laptop and I really like the user interface. Particularly, maximus auto maximizing your windows. I've figured out that for the apps I don't want to maximize, I can add them to maximus' ignore list. But, with Chrome and a custom app that I'm writing, I want maximus to maximize the main window but not maximize any window that the application opens. The basic use case is when I click my delicious button in Chrome, I don't want the resulting window to be maximized. Is it possible to fine tune maximus this way? tl;dr - Is it possible to fine tune maximus to only maximize an application's main window but not the child windows? - Where can I find more detailed documentation on maximus?

I use OpenSuse 11.3 with Kde. I've downloaded some documentation of applications in .pdf and .html. I've installed it with yast and see it has been extracted to /usr/share/doc/...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been looking for documentation on the "Ubuntu way" of configuring IP alias addresses, especially in Ubuntu Server (servers being where IP alias addresses would tend to be used). I cannot find any documentation. It seems NetworkManager also runs on the server, and has no means to do IP alias addresses. I shut it down because it interferes with manually configured aliases (takes them back out or sometimes worse). But I am just wondering why all this is. I've had to modify startup/init scripts to get the aliasing working. That's not a problem for me since I have worked in Unix at that level for so long. But I would think there would be some standard way for Ubuntu Server (or any other) to do this. I just can't seem to find it.

Although I can play any video or stream with it, I do not understand many things like time shifting or program guide. There are config links in the menu but they really only have 2 or 3 options. Nothing about Kaffeine is explained. I would think that a program that works so well and is so popular would be documented.

I want to find a package or some way to get all my linux offline documentation in one place, be it through the web browser or an application, in the official reppos or not does not matter. I've already tried doc-central with apache2 but I get all sorts of error messages and something about no D-bus daemon started, i dont understand, because I;ve installed d-bus service latest version after the error. when I started doc-central correctly through almost blind luck (only once) I did not get any docs just the welcome message.
Is there an alternative to doc-central, a GUI type solution would be preferable. or at least some advice to properly configure doc-central and maybe that d-bus problem, because I clearly did something wrong, I have even tried to write the configuration through an example file for doc-central, but that did not do much, I've read that DocCentral is unstable so maybe I going at it the wrong way.
Everyone once in a while Google drives me nuts, this is one such case.Everything I have found from Fedora or Red Hat on stateless or even diskless implementations is old as dirt. Based on Fedora Core 4 or 7. Where is the updated or current documentation for Fedora 13 or 14? With everything going to clouds one would think stateless would be a hot topic again?At least diskless should be right?
