[Bug 407862] Re: Messages not being sent to system logs

[windowsguy]

Observed on Ubuntu 22.04, it seems syslog and few others weren't updated
since I upgraded from 20.04. I did reboot several times since then, but
when I discovered this today rsyslog was inactive/dead. I manually
started rsyslog, and now log files are updated, but I don't know if it
will work after reboot (can't reboot right now). The permissions
were/are correct (syslog:adm).

rsyslog 8.2112.0-2ubuntu2.2
logrotate 3.19.0-1ubuntu1.1

Title:
  Messages not being sent to system logs

Status in Rsyslog:
  Fix Released
Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  First reported on Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha3
  It affects Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Final Release, too.

  rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="4.2.0" x-pid="2296"
  x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] rsyslogd was HUPed, type
  'lightweight'.

  After the above message in syslog no more messages are sent to any
  system logs. Plugging and unplugging an usb device produce no
  messages, although the device is mounted an works fine. Also, nothing
  is produced by the logger command.

  The problem occurs in a desktop and in a VirtualBox virtual machine.
  It occurred soon after karmic alpha 3 installation and persisted after
  installing all available updates in both environments.

  I'm attaching a typical syslog.
