 |
|
I'm trying to make my usb-camera work and in all resources they tell that you should look in /var/log/messages for messages the usb-modules gives when it detects a new device. But I can't find such a thing in my installation. Where would those messages appear then?
Thanks,

If you use metalog (which is recommended by the installation docs)...
| Code: | # su
# cat /var/log/current/everything |
