Please mark this bug as invalid. After several replies to a question at LinuxQuestions.org on this I discovered that the permissions for /var/log/cron.log were incorrect. I corrected that problem this afternoon and the reported issue has been corrected.
-- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to rsyslog in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1788322 Title: Approximately every 2mins this is written to syslog - rsyslogd: action 'action 3' resumed (module 'builtin:omfile') [v8.32.0 try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2359 Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm not sure this is a bug but instead is a configuration option missing in the /etc/rsyslog.conf. This is on a Ubuntu 18.04.1LTS system that was upgraded last week from 16.04.5LTS. The version of rsyslog installed is: apt-cache policy rsyslog rsyslog: Installed: 8.32.0-1ubuntu4 Candidate: 8.32.0-1ubuntu4 lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Release: 18.04 The complete output is here: https://pastebin.com/AxYYQaw5 I went to the links noted. The first one http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2359 from what I can read tells me that whatever action is referenced it was resumed. I assume in this case it refers to this "resumed (module 'builtin:omfile'" The 2nd link http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2007 seems to give me a fix for this. I've looked for what is mentioned in the 2nd link in my /etc/rsyslog.conf file and in my /etc/rsyslog.d/50- default.conf: The 2nd link refers to this: "A frequent case for this error message on Debian-based distributions (like raspbian) is that rsyslog.conf contains the instruction to write to the xconsole pipe, but this pipe is never read. If so, you can simply delete these lines to remove the error message. These lines are usually found at the end of rsyslog.conf." My current /etc/rsyslog.conf file is here https://pastebin.com/WZVhryNW If I need to add some lines to the .conf file I'm not sure what they should be. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-10-24 (1401 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140417) Package: rsyslog 8.32.0-1ubuntu4 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-33.36-generic 4.15.18 Tags: bionic Uname: Linux 4.15.0-33-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to bionic on 2018-08-17 (8 days ago) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip kvm libvirt libvirtd lpadmin netdev plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True modified.conffile..etc.logcheck.ignore.d.server.rsyslog: [deleted] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/1788322/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
