Description mnaud mnaud 2013-04-08 21:17:19 CEST

Description of problem:

The rsyslog daemon is not installed by default resulting of a system without any syslog messages logged inside.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mageia 3Beta3 installed with netboot ISO

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot on CD
2.choose an installation without KDE ou GNOME but with LXDE (must be quickiest)
3.reboot
4.have a look into /var/log : no message file and syslog's files

Resolve by installing manually rsyslog (urpmi rsyslog as root)

i think a syslog daemon MUST be installed by default into mageia.

Reproducible: 

Steps to Reproduce:

This is per specs.
If you want it, you can install it but by default, we rely on systemd.
See man pages of journalctl & systemd-journald
