[gentoo-user] No logging output to tty12

[Walter Dnes]

  I used to get stuff going to tty12, e.g.when attaching a USB drive,
etc.  My recent fresh install doesn't have this output.  What am I doing
wrong?

check  you  /etc/inittab   label  # TERMINALS

looks like:

```

# TERMINALS

#x1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 console linux

c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux

c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux

c3:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux

c4:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux

c5:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux

c6:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux
```
the  agetty  will  give  a  login  console

Have you installed something for syslog? In my installs, I think it is
syslog-ng that does this. At least in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf, I
see the following:

    destination console_all { file("/dev/tty12"); };

  Thanks; that was my problem.  I had installed "sysklogd" but not
"syslog-ng".  Installing and starting "syslog-ng" now has the messages
coming up.  I've also added it to default level in rc-update.
