How do I increase the amount of information that gets logged in
/var/log/messages in suse 9.3? From what I can gather, I need to edit
/etc/sysconfig-ng/sysconfig-ng.conf.in.
Is it just a matter of changing this line -
filter f_warn { level(warn, err, crit) and not filter(f_iptables); };
To this?
filter f_warn { level(debug, info, notice, warn, err, crit) and not
filter(f_iptables); };
Or would I edit /etc/sysconfig/syslog?
# Default loglevel for klogd
#
KERNEL_LOGLEVEL=1
If so, what number should replace "1"?
Or something else?
The reason I want to do this is to help a friend diagnose a problem with
lockups. Sometimes one program locks up, and sometimes the whole computer
locks up, and the reset button is the only way out. It happens when she
gets a lot of stuff running (e.g. several firefox tabs, several gedit
tabs, konqueror, and gimp-with many edits on the same file.) There's
nothing useful in the system log right before this happens.
Thanks,
Greg
