[Bug 1256695] Re: cannot create log files in /var/log

[Michael Marley]

I seem to still be experiencing this bug, both on Kubuntu desktop and on
server.  On both systems, none of the log files that rsyslog normally
creates are created and all logging output is lost.

I can, however, work around the issue by creating the log files and
chowning them to syslog:adm before starting rsyslog.
