Public bug reported: We're seeing syslog messages during installers runs truncated to 256 chars. This is annoying.
Digging into the debian-installer source, its calling /sbin/syslogd from the initrd - this is a busybox binary. In the busybox source, there's a config variable CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOGD_READ_BUFFER_SIZE that defaults to 256. From the code, that looks to be the problem. Can we either - 1. fix busybox to use a dynamic buffer, or 2. bump the config variable up to 1024 or so? I'm perfectly happy with solution 2 :) ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040900 Title: syslog messages truncated to 256 chars during debian-installer run To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1040900/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
