The journal logs dmesg, syslog, stdout/err from units and other stuff, but syslog() messages also get forwarded to rsyslog. If you drop the /etc/maas/rsyslog.d/99-maas file, do you get logs into /var/log/syslog again? If so, then this is either a regression in rsyslog or the 99-maas file configures this in a way that current rsyslog does not understand any more. ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575337 Title: syslog.log is completely empty Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu: New Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: 130 roaksoax@unleashed:~/Desktop/project/packaging⟫ dpkg -l | grep rsyslog ii rsyslog 8.16.0-1ubuntu3 amd64 reliable system and kernel logging daemon ii rsyslog-gnutls 8.16.0-1ubuntu3 amd64 TLS protocol support for rsyslog roaksoax@unleashed:~/Desktop/project/packaging⟫ sudo service rsyslog status [sudo] password for roaksoax: ● rsyslog.service - System Logging Service Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Tue 2016-04-26 16:12:24 EDT; 1h 39min ago Docs: man:rsyslogd(8) http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/ Main PID: 26547 (rsyslogd) Tasks: 5 (limit: 512) Memory: 1.3M CPU: 174ms CGroup: /system.slice/rsyslog.service └─26547 /usr/sbin/rsyslogd -n Apr 26 16:12:24 unleashed systemd[1]: Starting System Logging Service...
