Description Erwin Lam 2012-10-04 17:34:12 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0.1

When I shutdown my computer, occasionally, I see a message like "unable to handle kernel paging request ...." followed by a lot of register(?) information. The entire message passes by too quickly to capture manually.

In those days, when I still used sysvinit, these messages were always written to the syslog so I could have a look at them later and report a bug.

However, nowadays I am using systemd and these messages are not registered anywhere. It seems systemd does not capture them.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Don't know. It occasionally happens.

Frederic, might this be an issue in systemd? If you don't think so, feel free to reassign ;-)

Comment 2 Frederic Crozat 2012-10-09 15:27:51 UTC

by default we don't import kernel logs in journal (see /etc/systemd/systemd-journald.conf ImportKernel to enable it).

This will change in Factory with systemd 194 and kernel >= 3.5 which supports structured kernel message

closing as wontfix for 12.2
