 Hi Gabor,

Do you have some news regarding this issue?
Another update from my side, is that if I login as root in serial console,
I am able to get the notifications:



*[pid  4155] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/ttyS0",
O_WRONLY|O_NOCTTY|O_APPEND|O_NONBLOCK) = 18</dev/ttyS0<char 4:64>>[pid
 4155] write(18</dev/ttyS0<char 4:64>>, "2020 Nov  2 16:14:35 debian10st

 4155] close(18</dev/ttyS0<char 4:64>>) = 0*

Any help appreciated.
