Description Frederik Himpe 2011-10-21 16:21:55 CEST

Every time when I boot my system, rsyslog is not started. I can start it by hand by running /etc/init.d/rsyslog. I have SPEEDBOOT=no in /etc/sysconfig/speedboot.

systemctl -a output after boot:

Comment 1 D Morgan 2011-10-22 23:42:07 CEST

Do you have logs from Boot ? /var/log/dmesg

and do you see error on boot for rsyslog ?

Comment 2 Frederik Himpe 2011-10-25 11:19:11 CEST

/var/log/dmesg only contains kernel log from boot, so it's useless.

Seems like all logs are available from the dmesg command (which is also supposed to be prevented by the ExecStartPre command in /lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service), but it does not contain the word "syslog".

Also note that there is no rsyslog.service in the systemctl --all output above, unlike on a Mandriva system where rsyslog is working fine. systemd simply ignores rsyslog.service, so the bug is probably in systemd.

i am looking this bugreport

Comment 4 D Morgan 2011-10-27 18:17:06 CEST

Please test next rsyslog rpm

Comment 5 Thomas Backlund 2011-10-27 23:26:15 CEST

rsyslog works for me with: rsyslog-5.8.5-3.mga2

But I had to manually do: systemctl enable rsyslog.service before the reboot
