1 内核编程insmod后，Ubuntu查看日志无/var/log/messages
写好简单内核模块如hellomod.ko后，执行命令 insmod hellomod.ko 后，查看内核打印的printk信息， tail /var/log/messages 后发现并没有messages文件。
2 Ubuntu是有/var/log/messages这个文件的！
root@XXX:/home/river# vim /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
找到
#
33 # Some "catch-all" log files.
34 #
35 #*.=debug;
36 # auth,authpriv.none;
37 # news.none;mail.none -/var/log/debug
38 #*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;
39 # auth,authpriv.none;
40 # cron,daemon.none;
41 # mail,news.none -/var/log/messages
把注释取消掉即可！
3 重启rsyslog服务
sudo restart rsyslog此时，你查看messages仍然没有你想要的信息。因为这个文件相当于刚刚创立好。这时你可以重新
rmmod hellomod #卸载内核模块
insmod hellomod.ko然后
tail -f /var/log/messages就可以查看相应的信息了。
