(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?
I have a few follow-up questions. 1. correct or wrong: During the boot process, before log-in becomes available, there is no way to "freeze" and "unfreeze" the messages appearing on the monitor. 1.a If (1) above is wrong, how do I "freeze" and "unfreeze" the messages during the boot process? 2. correct or wrong: Not all messages displayed on the monitor during the boot process, before log-in becomes available, are stored in /var/log/boot.log* files. 2.a If (2) above is correct, where are the other messages stored? 3. If there are a group of lines in a log file that I want to put in a post to this list, and that log file uses formatting codes, what are the best ways to put that group of lines into an e-mail message to this list without the formatting codes, WITHOUT manually retyping those lines in the e-mail, and WITHOUT having to manually delete every formatting code character? -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
