How to pause console output when the system boots? The text runs too fast, I don’t have time to read it, and Ctrl + S doesn’t slow down in the right place. I need to read what luks writes when I start the system, it doesn't get into dmesg .

  • the same is in the logs that the system writes when booting - Artem Konovalov
  • as I understand it, this is displayed before the system boots and there is no such thing in the logs - nammidd
  • /var/log/boot.log - Artem Konovalov
  • Shift + pgUp does not help to return to that line? - sercxjo

Run the command less -r /var/log/boot.log - most likely you will find the information you need. During the boot process itself - try pressing "Pause" - to be honest, not at all sure what will help, but before loading grub, at the BIOS boot control stage, this key works. Maybe it will work when booting the OS.
