Hi: how can I increase the buffer for the text output console (Shift-PgUp).
Hi: what's asked.

Usually that is found in the preference / profile of the terminal window. It is called scrolling. I usually set mine to 200000 lines. That about covers what I need it to.
The preference / profile can be found under the terminal menu or sometimes the edit menu. |
Sorry if I did not made myself clear. I mean the text consoles, not the graphical ones you find in the GUI. Namely, /dev/tty1, ..., /dev/tty7.

That seems to be recompilation of the kernel, am I right?
|
That's what I'm seeing. I couldn't find any other reference to how to do it.
|
I'm reading dmesg man page. From that man page:
Code:
-s, --buffer-size size |
So are you trying to increase the buffer of dmesg or your TTY scrollback option? They are two different things.
|
Really, to be able to scroll back just after boot, which would be to increase the kernel ring buffer. This kernel ring buffer, its only purpose is to log kernel messages? Scroll back of course I can, but not up to where the kernel begins decompression. My transient solution is 'dmesg -s 64000 |less'.
