While Ubuntu is starting up, the init rc commands are run. Is there a way to see their full output after the system has started?

Ubuntu stores the output of the rc commands run at boot in /var/log/boot.log
.

/var/log/boot.log
is exactly what I was looking for! That doesn't go through syslog, does it?– PenzAug 14, 2013 at 13:11 -

The default system log location in Ubuntu 13.04 is /var/log/syslog
.
Log location settings are configured in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
See man rsyslog.conf
for more information.
dmesg
is a ring buffer, so it can be that messages from the top can be overwritten by newer messages, although at 16384 messages I doubt it.
Have you tried /var/log/boot.log
or /var/log/kernel.log
dmesg
or the contents of/var/syslog
?dmesg
and/var/syslog
have syslog-generate comment, and not the output upon initialization.
