They flash by on the screen but per grep are not found in /var/log/. Only
the first part of my boottime messages get logged so this behavior is
normal. But the following are found in logs. They usually happen a few
times each day and I often turn on and off my PC a few times a day. But
sometimes there is more than one such message per session on my PC: I
switch back and forth between GUI and command line VT.
error.1:Jul 10 08:52:47 daveslinux pulseaudio[2661]: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon
already running.
