Workaround: open /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog, and replace this line: reload rsyslog >/dev/null 2>&1 || true ... with this line: restart rsyslog >/dev/null 2>&1 || true -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launch

Is this perhaps a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/940030 ? I'm seeing the same thing, though I noticed it with /var/log/syslog rather than /var/log/auth.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to U

Well it's a nice theory, but I can't seem to make it happen by deleting the log files and forcing a rotation. I see that logrotate.d/rsyslog does specify the "missingok" option for these logs files. If that inhibts the "create" option for a missing log file, then my theory above theory #5 is proba

Ok, I have a theory as to what is causing this bug and why it is hard to reproduce. The /etc/logrotate.conf specifies "create" and later the logrotate.d/rsyslog lists a bunch of log files. The behavior of "create" is that it creates the new file copying the owner etc. from the existing file. Howe

Ok, I've written a short Checkbox style test -- that much I could figure out. I'm hoping someone with permission to submit new checkbox tests can wrap this up as a checkbox job. It would be interesting to run it after each install/upgrade cycle as I suspect that's when this bug happens. #!/bin/bas

Thanks for looking in to it Peter. Sorry for the confusion, but I did not install syslog-ng. I left the machine with the default. Digging around, I now see that rsyslogd is the default. Syslog-ng is what poppped up in the package auto-complete when I typed "syslog" so I thought, incorrectly, that's

I did a fresh install of 12.04, installed syslog-ng, updated the machine, but I could not reproduce this problem. Permissions were always correct and logs collected. It does not seem to be a syslog-ng package bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, whi

Following up on my own bug: The logging of sudo sessions is another example of data that was not being written to auth.log I see that the older auth.log.1 files have the messagebus/adm permissions, but do have content in them, running up to July 27th 2012. I assume these were written when the sys
