Kernel Logging stopped

I found the following line at the end of my /var/log/messages.1

Apr 29 13:58:29 MyLaptop kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped.

/var/log/messages is indeed empty? This happened when I updated to Natty. I am trying to debug another problem so I am wondering: what happened? Where did my logging go to?

How can I turn it back on?

Solution 1:

Looks like kernel logging will be output to /var/log/kern.log in Natty. The line you're seeing (Kernel logging stopped) will have been the last entry before the output was switched to the new file.

This is all configured in /etc/rsyslog.conf and /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf, if you're keen to poke around.
