[Touch-packages] [Bug 1450588] Re: [FFe] /var/log/dmesg No Longer Being Updated
This bug was fixed in the package rsyslog - 8.32.0-1ubuntu7 --- rsyslog (8.32.0-1ubuntu7) disco; urgency=medium * Install dmesg.service (LP: #1450588) to provide /var/log/dmesg.log as non log-rotated log for boot time kernel messages. - debian/dmesg.service: new service to write /var/log/dmesg - debian/rsyslog.install: install dmesg.service with rsyslog -- Christian Ehrhardt Thu, 07 Mar 2019 14:00:30 +0100 ** Changed in: rsyslog (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Released -- 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 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1450588 Title: [FFe] /var/log/dmesg No Longer Being Updated Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: [FFe] * (re-)introduce a feature to ensure the initial (boot time) kernel messages are preserved * This existed up to Trusty (upstart) but was lost afterwards as it had no systemd coutnerpart. * It is a "new" feature since we have lacked it for so many releases and worth - a hopefully simple - ack by the release Team * It is not a new version or any change to the actual rsyslog code.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1450588] Re: [FFe] /var/log/dmesg No Longer Being Updated
Thanks Steve, as people have explained above the problem with the "if the information is available elsewhere" argument is, that very long living systems have rotated out the logs that contained the initial boot. This is the extra value this wants to give back to the users. ** Changed in: rsyslog (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress -- 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 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1450588 Title: [FFe] /var/log/dmesg No Longer Being Updated Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: [FFe] * (re-)introduce a feature to ensure the initial (boot time) kernel messages are preserved * This existed up to Trusty (upstart) but was lost afterwards as it had no systemd coutnerpart. * It is a "new" feature since we have lacked it for so many releases and worth - a hopefully simple - ack by the release Team * It is not a new version or any change to the actual rsyslog code.

>From a feature freeze POV, this is ok with me. I don't know that I agree it makes sense to reintroduce this log file now after so long if the information is available elsewhere, but I don't think I need to block this w/ release team hat. -- 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/1450588 Title: [FFe] /var/log/dmesg No Longer Being Updated Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu: New Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: [FFe] * (re-)introduce a feature to ensure the initial (boot time) kernel messages are preserved * This existed up to Trusty (upstart) but was lost afterwards as it had no systemd coutnerpart. * It is a "new" feature since we have lacked it for so many releases and worth - a hopefully simple - ack by the release Team * It is not a new version or any change to the actual rsyslog code.
