[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1291341] Re: tahr /var/log/syslog missing
I just installed a fresh 14.04 and had the same problem. After comparing it with another working host, I found the difference in the /var/log directory ownership and permission on working host: % ls -ld /var/log/ drwxrwxr-x 14 root syslog 4096 Jul 8 06:25 /var/log/ on the problem host: % ls -ld /var/log/ drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Jul 9 01:40 /var/log/ /etc/rsyslog.conf writes file with syslog user and adm group but the /var/log dir is not writable. It's working ok after I have fix the ownership/permission problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1291341 Title: tahr /var/log/syslog missing Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: jerry@Aspire1:~$ ubuntu-bug linux tail: cannot open ‘/var/log/syslog’ for reading: No such file or directory Took a look, there is no syslog.
