Scancode Error
Not sure if this would belong in the Hardware section or here...but I'm putting it in both places (my apologies in advance Mods)
Hi guys, I just installed Debian on my machine. I am using a MS wireless keyboard and mouse. I'm not interested in the "fancy" buttons (I can't stand those things). My issue is I'm getting an error at random times (I'm sure if I timed it its at a particular frequency) at the console. The error is: Code:
keyboard: unknown scancode e0 01 I've read about these errors, but usually they're in log files...not popping up constantly on the screen. I'd be happy if I can get them to log to a file and not my screen :) The keyboard and mouse are USB, but I use the USB to PS/2 adapter for the mouse. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks :newbie: |
In general you can redirect from standard output (your screen) to a file with the >> switch. Usage like: [commandname+options] >> {filename with extension} As extension the .txt (plain textfile) is quite suitable. Open the textfile (located in the current directory) with the editor you prefer. If you want to redirect the output to a specific directory, specify the full path, like "/home/<user>/temp" or where-ever you want.

Good question... I'm not familiar with wireless keyboards, but errors should appear in the output of the dmesg command. No garantees, but you might want to try the following commands, all done as root:
Code:
dmesg >> dmesg.txt |
Thanks DM!
Here's what I did.... Code:
dmesg -n 1 Set the level at which logging of messages is done to the console. For example, -n 1 prevents all messages, expect panic messages, from appearing on the console. All levels of messages are still written to /proc/kmsg, so syslogd(8) can still be used to control exactly where kernel messages appear. When the -n option is used, dmesg will not print or clear the kernel ring buffer. Granted, this doesn't cure the problem (the keyboard sending the error...but I really don't mind it since its not popping up in my face) Thanks again!! :) |
