[Touch-packages] [Bug 940030] Re: rsyslog stops working after logrotate until restarted
I'm seeing something similar with 14.04 since upgrading from 12.04 only in this case, I'm still getting kernel messages written to the logs however nothing else is until I force a restart of rsyslog. File permissions look ok though (syslog:adm). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to rsyslog in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/940030 Title: rsyslog stops working after logrotate until restarted Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This could otherwise be titled, rsyslog reload does not create log files; only restart does. This is happening on a number of machines I work on. It's happening on 10.04 and 11.04. It might be similar to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/407862 But in my case after the restart there is no /var/log/syslog being created, nor auth.log, kern.log, etc. The files are rotated, rsyslog is reloaded, and none of the log files are created and nothing is being logged. This has been plaguing my systems since moving from syslog-ng, which I may return to as it seems it was actually production ready. Without manually restarting those files don't exist so here's what I did on an 11.04 system: logrotate --force --verbose /etc/logrotate.conf gives: rotating pattern: /var/log/syslog forced from command line (7 rotations) empty log files are not rotated, old logs are removed considering log /var/log/syslog log /var/log/syslog does not exist -- skipping not running postrotate script, since no logs were rotated rotating pattern: /var/log/mail.info /var/log/mail.warn /var/log/mail.err /var/log/mail.log /var/log/daemon.log /var/log/kern.log /var/log/auth.log /var/log/user.log /var/log/lpr.log /var/log/cron.log /var/log/debug /var/log/messages forced from command line (4 rotations) empty log files are not rotated, old logs are removed considering log /var/log/mail.info log /var/log/mail.info does not exist -- skipping considering log /var/log/mail.warn log /var/log/mail.warn does not exist -- skipping considering log /var/log/mail.err log does not need rotating considering log /var/log/mail.log log does not need rotating considering log /var/log/daemon.log log /var/log/daemon.log does not exist -- skipping considering log /var/log/kern.log log /var/log/kern.log does not exist -- skipping considering log /var/log/auth.log log /var/log/auth.log does not exist -- skipping considering log /var/log/user.log log /var/log/user.log does not exist -- skipping considering log /var/log/lpr.log log /var/log/lpr.log does not exist -- skipping considering log /var/log/cron.log log /var/log/cron.log does not exist -- skipping considering log /var/log/debug log /var/log/debug does not exist -- skipping considering log /var/log/messages log /var/log/messages does not exist -- skipping not running postrotate script, since no logs were rotated Then /sbin/reload rsyslog logger -i testing At this point there is no /var/log/syslog Then: /sbin/restart rsyslog And voila there is a /var/log/syslog beginning with: Feb 23 19:24:48 somehost kernel: imklog 4.6.4, log source = /proc/kmsg started.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1656302] [NEW] USB sound card intermittant/unable to play audio
Public bug reported: I have a EDIROL UA-1A USB soundcard which for the most part under 12.04 worked however after a period of uptime, ALSA calls started failing with messages of this nature: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave and the kernel ring buffer would have streams of: [673754.825092] xhci_hcd :02:00.0: ERROR Transfer event TRB DMA ptr not part of current TD [673754.830412] xhci_hcd :02:00.0: ERROR Transfer event TRB DMA ptr not part of current TD and: [673429.575699] retire_capture_urb: 596 callbacks suppressed sometimes unplugging/plugging the card would fix this, other times a system reboot was required. Since the upgrade to 14.04 this seems to have got worse in that most of the time it behaves in this manner and the unplugging/plugging approach never works. From a kernel perspective, I was already running a 3.13.x release with 12.04 so there's not been a major update on this front since the upgrade.
