man 3 syslog Thanks. I did not recognize the PID. Do you know how to start klogd?
Why do you want to run klog? Wickd is a user process. Are you sure you don't want a regular syslog? The fact that you are getting the messages says that the syslog system is working. You didn't say where you got the messages. That's why I said RTFM. Check, using 'ps' to see what you have running. That you are seeing those log entries at all makes me wonder. Where are they from? They don't seem to be in the class of "something said by the kernel" that would require klogd. Maybe your issue is configuring the syslogd. RTFM about syslog, such as the man page(s). The reason I mentioned the initial RTFM was that wickd uses syslogging. Wickd is an application. That why you saw the pid.. You can configure BOTH how wickd _issues_ syslog messages and how the syslog daemon listens for them and files them in the appropriate /var/log/ file but the appropriate config files under /etc. You want a formula there that filters the wickd daemon syslog messages to a specific destination. Again, RTFM. Nothing new here. that's how it works for so, so, so many applications.
I tried the usual:
sudo systemctl enable klogd.service sudo systemctl start klogd.service
but received an error message:
Failed to start klogd.service: Operation refused, unit klogd.service may be requested by dependency only.
Well have you looked at what's in the unit file? [Unit] Description=System Kernel Logging Service Requisite=syslog.service BindTo=syslog.service After=syslog.service RefuseManualStart=true
I know what a dependency is, just not what the message implies.
You can't start it manually, you can only start it as a dependency. Probably if you rebooted now, or restarted syslog.service, it would start. But I ask again, why do you want kernel logging for something that is an application, running in user space? This is a syslog issue not a klog issue. -- The state can't give you free speech, and the state can't take it away. You're born with it, like your eyes, like your ears.
