I suspect this is probably more a question for a forum than a bug report! In any case, I'm no expert, but I think you ought to be able to find this sort of message archived in syslog, i.e. /var/log/syslog which you can access with gedit or cat /var/log/syslog or, if you want to log just for errors, with sudo cat /var/log/syslog* | grep EE for example.
Hope that helps! (As for the special consoles, you might be thinking of changing run levels, normally with ctrl+alt+F2 or F3-F6. Can't see much on ctrl+alt+f8!)
