Bug Description
In Intrepid, boot logging is apparently not enabled by default. Therefore, I edited /etc/default/
"BOOTLOGD_
to
"BOOTLOGD_
However, when I rebooted, I saw no change in /var/log/boot. Also, I ran "update-rc.d -f bootlogd remove" then "update-rc.d bootlogd defaults", but there was still no boot log.
affects: | upstart (Ubuntu) → sysvinit (Ubuntu) |

Hello schnauzer :-)
If Intrepid is like Hardy then the issue is that bootlogd itself is not installed, despite the existence of /etc/default/ bootlogd.
Have you got a /sbin/bootlogd executable? If not, see https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/bugs/ 328881 for an (unsupported) workaround that may also work on Intrepid.
