Hi, all --
I am building a Leap 15.2 system and had some filesystem mount issues that caused the system to stick at "enter root password or press Ctrl-D to continue" asking for help. I did get that one (user missing from the passwd file but specified as an NTFS volume content owner) figured out, but it wasn't because I could figure out how to see the errors that went by before the screen cleared and the message & password prompt popped up. I tried looking in /var/log/messages and running dmesg and poking at anything else that I could imagine, but I never did see that mount error.
When I'm in a recovery/maintenance single-user shell after a boot failure, how do I see the boot messages to read back and see what blew up?
Try "journalctl". Also: systemctl --failed to see what failed. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
