[opensuse] kernel messages on openSUSE 11.2
Hello: I use openSUSE 11.2 with default kernel-desktop, and KDE 3.5.10 as desktop manager. Sometimes so called 'kernel message' windows pop-up on the screen, and the same messages are shown in all the the opened terminal windows (konsole). Is there a way to disable this and/or restrict to it only one window, eg to the popping-up x-window?

If the kernel is spitting out messages it means something is going very wrong; an OOPS maybe? It is intentional that the message goes to all logged-in users / terminals, so that someone does something about it. Have you already tried identifying the underlying problem?

Hello: Thanks for replying. I have not identified the problem, but indeed it was OOPS. But it is a different question. I find it very annoying to get the messages at 6-8 konsole windows plus the pop up window. I wold like to disable these messages. Is it possible? In pre 11 SUSE versions (9.x, 10.x) I never seen messages like these.

A kernel oops is usually a very bad thing that will cause further system instability, so the behaviour of the kernel is to let all logged-in users/terminals know immediately that something is wrong so they can save work before everything goes up in flames. So the problem is, to get what you ask, would be to go directly against the intended behaviour of the system. My recommendation is that it would probably be much easier to solve the underlying issue - only if that proves truly impossible you should look at klogd or whatever and try and disable that.
In pre 11 SUSE versions (9.x, 10.x) I never seen messages like these.
Probably because your kernel wasn't oopsing on earlier systems. If it's just a bad module being loaded the solution might be very simple ... try asking for help about the error messages you see.

Yes, but I'm not telling. :-| You have to solve the cause producing the oops (and report the oops in Bugzilla, too) - not killing the messenger. Your system could crash any second, an Oops is a very serious thing. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
