(PIDs are replaced by ***) :~$ systemctl status logrotate ● logrotate.service - Rotate log files Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/logrotate.service; static; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2020-06-15 07:56:59 EEST; 32s ago TriggeredBy: ● logrotate.timer Docs: man:logrotate(8) man:logrotate.conf(5) Process: *** ExecStart=/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: *** (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Jun 15 07:56:55 ******** systemd[***]: Starting Rotate log files...

Jun 15 07:56:59 ******** systemd[***]: Failed to start Rotate log files. I compared /etc/logrotate.d/samba with the information at https://salsa.debian.org/samba-team/samba/commit/bed29aba47558252eacfe9453d23cc1ab29770aa Two different lines have been found: In /etc/logrotate.d/samba: line 6: [ ! -x /usr/bin/smbcontrol ] || [ ! -f /run/samba/smbd.pid ] || /usr/bin/smbcontrol smbd reload-config line 18: [ ! -x /usr/bin/smbcontrol ] || [ ! -f /run/samba/nmbd.pid ] || /usr/bin/smbcontrol nmbd reload-config at https://... line 6: [ ! -x /usr/bin/smbcontrol ] || [ ! -f /var/run/samba/nmbd.pid ] || /usr/bin/smbcontrol nmbd reload-config line 18: [ ! -x /usr/bin/smbcontrol ] || [ ! -f /var/run/samba/nmbd.pid ] || /usr/bin/smbcontrol nmbd reload-config There is a same difference: in LUbuntu 20.04 .pid files are searched in /run/samba/, but at https://... they are searched in /var/run/samba/. After boot, both are present and have the same PIDs. :~$ cat /var/run/samba/nmbd.pid abcd :~$ cat /run/samba/nmbd.pid abcd :~$ cat /var/run/samba/smbd.pid efgh :~$ cat /run/samba/smbd.pid efgh (digits are replaced by letters for security reasons) Changing the folders according to https://... and reboot solve the problem: :~$ systemctl status logrotate ● logrotate.service - Rotate log files Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/logrotate.service; static; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) TriggeredBy: ● logrotate.timer Docs: man:logrotate(8) man:logrotate.conf(5) After that, I tried to revert the changes and reboot. The bug cannot be reproduced anymore. Additional information: :~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Release: 20.04 :~$ apt-cache policy logrotate logrotate: Installed: 3.14.0-4ubuntu3 Candidate: 3.14.0-4ubuntu3 Version Table: *** 3.14.0-4ubuntu3 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Finally, the solution for me is: sudo <installed text editor> /etc/logrotate.d/samba Replace the following line (for me, line 6) [ ! -x /usr/bin/smbcontrol ] || [ ! -f /run/samba/smbd.pid ] || /usr/bin/smbcontrol smbd reload-config by [ ! -x /usr/bin/smbcontrol ] || [ ! -f /var/run/samba/nmbd.pid ] || /usr/bin/smbcontrol nmbd reload-config and the following line (for me, line 18) [ ! -x /usr/bin/smbcontrol ] || [ ! -f /run/samba/nmbd.pid ] || /usr/bin/smbcontrol nmbd reload-config by [ ! -x /usr/bin/smbcontrol ] || [ ! -f /var/run/samba/nmbd.pid ] || /usr/bin/smbcontrol nmbd reload-config Save and reboot. But there are two question. Is it necessary to check both .pid files (both are present after boot), if yes, what operator should be used, || or && ? Is it necessary to correct line 32: "elif [ -f /run/samba/samba.pid ]; then"? I did not correct it. Because of a short time after installation, it is not tested, are the log files rotated or not.
