/var/log/messages

[walking]

My printk statement looks like:

printk(KERN_DEBUG "Hello world\n");

My syslogd and klogd are both running, but I can't find the "Hello world" in the /var/log/messages file.

Where is wrong? Why does not my printk statement go to /var/log/messages?

Thank you very much!

try this;

$sudo less /var/log/kern.log

else try this

printk(KERN_ALERT "Hello, world \n");

Open new terminal and use the command

tail -f /var/log/messages

In another terminal ,
Compile and insert your module using insmod command
and check the messages file.
