I'm running debian testing, a few updates ago, console started getting log messages. Kernel log messages, some other stuff too... I'm sorry, I'm really tired.
I went through the syslog.conf, rsyslog.conf, klog, sysctl.conf stuff in case there was anything obvious, but most of that is as maintained.
I thought it was something to do with the systemd stuff, and that didn't really seem necessary so I uninstalled it, which didn't seem like a problem. And then lsof showed a whole bunch of open files for console-kit and I don't even know what that's for or why, and I looked it up and apparently its the precursor to the systemd stuff, so I removed that also.
But its still dumping kernel messages to tty, ... I assume because something with dbus, which I can't really remove, or systemd is still messing with the log messages. I think there's less since I removed systemd, but... I think maybe dbus has dependencies on systemd or something, I don't know, something is not right.
I don't know, I'm just really annoyed. When this weird stuff is on there and none of the log configuration files work...
And then I thought I'd get a chance to fix this later, and the updates have now reinstalled the systemd crap so, I don't even know what to do with it. I feel like switching distributions.
Testing used to be really stable for debian, that's why I switched years ago.
The messages are just stuff that shouldn't be dumped to console. This is the very reason that systemd stuff is crap, that they're bypassing stuff they shouldn't. And is debian no longer a linux distribution that I can't choose what software to run on it?
I've read some of that freedesktop stuff, those people don't know what they're doing.
Anyway, its been a while, I would hope that someone would know what would mess up the kernel logging.
