Hi list,

hunting some issue on my desktop I noticed it does not store the journal(s):

lux:~ # journalctl --list-boots 0 b1a97bfa6cb04cb3a7e7dcac24467383 Thu 2018-02-22 23:51:50 CET—Fri 2018-02-23 10:20:27 CET

If you want the journal to be stored, create the /var/log/journal/ directory and from the next boot, it will be persistant. See 'man 8 systemd-journald' and 'man 5 journald.conf'.

Yes, I know, it's rather about whether rsyslog is default in current TW standard installs, and whether the README needs an update... Likely the README is even correct: systemd-logger only contains the README and creates the directory. I assume if you uninstall it (and install rsyslog) the directory does not get removed because it's not empty, so you have both logs indeed. Maybe needs an additonal /var/log/journal/README telling that you have to remove that directory to get rid of the permanent journal again... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
