Re: teal(?) messages during boot.

1.  Look through the output of 'sudo dmesg' or just 'dmesg' when logged in as root.  Another option is to review '/var/log/boot.log', assuming it is accumulating records when the system is booting (check /etc/rsyslog/rsyslog.conf).  'journalctl' might also be a viable option (see man pages for each of these).

In general, I wouldn't know why a 'teal' color is just now appearing for certain boot messages.  However, a few thoughts come to mind:  Your monitor is changing performance, or maybe the graphics card for your system is changing its performance (i.e. degrading)... maybe.  Or something configuration-wise was done locally to your system, or a new RPM package made an untoward adjustment.

As for catching the messages visually, consider using your cell and recording the video of the boot cycle and then reviewing it during playback to //maybe// stop the motion and see something which otherwise goes by too fast.  I've done this before and its sometimes valuable, and othertimes the screen clears/scrolls milliseconds after the necessary message.  But, a combination of cellphone video and reviewing dmesg output might bring you very close to seeing messages which are relevant to your issue.


2.  Likely your bash user session has 'dircolors' enabled, and especially via aliases configured via ${HOME}/.bashrc.  You can modify that file to suit your tastes (suggest making a backup copy first).

(f39 workstation; 6.9.9-100.fc39.x86_64)

Since last patching my stand-alone workstation last Thursday (July 18), I've been seeing messages during boot that are colored some strange color between green and blue (I'm calling it "teal"). Other boot message text is gray.  I don't recall seeing "teal" messages before during boot.  The messages scroll by too fast to catch what they're saying.

question #1
How do I find these "teal" boot messages so I can actually see what they're saying?  "System Log", "Logs", "vim", "more", "less", "cat", "gvim" all do not show color.  (I'm using gnome.)

question #2
When I do "ls", the output is colored:
* some bluish color for directories;
* magenta for image and video files;
* green for "ordinary" (text, LibreOffice, PDF, etc.) data files;
* bold green for executable files;
and so on.  The colors mean something.  What does the "teal" in the boot logs mean?
