Bug Description

I am trying to get a verbose bootlog in kubuntu which contains all the information that I see during booting. Until yet I had no success.

The following has been done so far:
- activate bootlogd in sysvconfig
- set VERBOSE=Yes in /etc/default/rcS
- set BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes in /etc/default/bootlogd

But the only log I get is:

Same behaviour here. Further examination of initscripts.postinst reveals to me that /etc/init.d/bootlogd is not activated anywhere. Why is that? I could not find any appropriate in changelog.Debian.

  * Drop S18bootlogd from the ordinary boot process; it needs a writable
    /var/log and access to /dev/pts which means it would have to start so
    late that there'd be nothing worth logging. Nobody can ever remember
    this working in Ubuntu, and nobody's sure it even can work with usplash.
    Everything's still shipped, so those who want it can figure it out, it's
    just not tried by default.
