The in-memory non-persistent journal (/run/log/journal) is enabled; if you run journalctl you can see the logs from the current boot. The on-disk persistent journal (/var/log/journal) is disabled because at the moment, Debian systems use syslog by default (via rsyslog), and enabling the persistent journal would result in two copies of log messages. Since the journal is capable of capturing messages sent to syslog, I'm hoping that at some point the systemd source package will build a binary package that installs /var/log/journal and Provides the system-log-daemon and linux-kernel-log-daemon virtual packages. (As well as a non-default one that provides the same virtual packages but doesn't provide the persistent journal directory, for systems that want transient in-memory logging only.) - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
