Re: Bothering error message when logging out X

Every time I log out my Gnome X environment (Debian Etch), after a few

the following message appears:

NET: Registered protocol family 10

. I wonder what it means, and above all I wish to eliminate it! Googling
around gave no help. Can anybody help?

These are kernel messages being posted to the terminal. Do you get
other kernel messages (e.g. like when you plug in a USB device)?

See the top of /etc/sysctl.conf




Rodolfo:

Thanks, this worked: in /etc/sysctl.conf I uncommented the line:

kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7

so to stop low-level messages on console, and that bothering message did not
appear any more. But still, when I plug in my usb pendrive, the following
message appears:

sda: assuming drive cache: write through

. How can I avoid this as well, and all undesired kernel messages?




Douglas:

Is the kernel putting that there, or is syslog? Check your syslog
setup, perhaps change the default message level that it spits out.
There are somethings that you want to appear on __the_system_console__
but not necessarily on every VT. Syslog configs should allow you to
tweak this.



I tried to edit /etc/syslog.conf but with no result: too difficult for me.
Any more precise indication of how to edit it so to tweak the messages
appearing on console?

Thanks
Rodolfo
