The shutdown of my ubuntu 12.04 never terminates. (It's been running for one hour, showing the ubuntu word with the rotating dots below: it's still alive.)

Right after I initiate the shutdown, the screen briefly (very briefly) show a tty with information on it. I'd like to see it.

How can I see the information on tty1 during shutdown?

(I already tried Ctrl+Alt+F1 in vain.)

  • @Rinzwind had already seen 33416, but I'd like to see what is on the screen right now, not the screen of a future shutdown. – Didier Trosset Sep 17 '14 at 09:57

Do you mean you want to see shut down messages?

Usually all you need to do is to press Esc when the Ubuntu logo shows up.
