When using the command dmesg I only rceivice infomation about wlan0
Hi
When I type the command dmesg into the console I get the following message: work@linux:~> dmesg 564) wlan0 (WE) : Buffer for request 8B1B too small (0<10) wlan0 (WE) : Buffer for request 8B0B too small (0<564) wlan0 (WE) : Buffer for request 8B1B too small (0<10) wlan0 (WE) : Buffer for request 8B0B too small (0<564) This pattern carries on for ages and I get no other information. My Internet connection seems to be working okay and is connected over wlan0. When I tried to use this command before I received information on everything else. Please can you help me to get it back to how it used to work. There is probably something obvious that I am missing to get it to work properly. This is my first post and I hope it contained enough information. If not please ask me what you want to know. Thanks John |
Hi, and welcome to LQ.
Your problem is not that dmesg isn't working (it is doing its job) ... the problem is that your wlan card must be set-up incorrectly, and keeps filling the kernels ring-buffer with warnings ... dmesg reads that buffer (which has a limited size) and prints the contents. Have a look at the wlan cards set-up. Once the errors are gone your dmesg will display what you expect. Cheers, Tink |
Thanks a lot for the help Tink. I looked around to see the programs using wlan0 and disabled a Kwifi manager applet that was running. This solved the problem and now dmesg works fine. Thanks again

Pleasure,
