Package: systemd Version: 252.29-1~deb12u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
the manual page journald.conf(5) states very clearly: ReadKMsg= Takes a boolean value. If enabled systemd-journal processes /dev/kmsg messages generated by the kernel. In the default journal namespace this option is enabled by default, it is disabled in all others. But, every time a non default journal namespace is spawnd, it complains very loudly: Aug 07 16:30:55 systemd[1]: Starting systemd-journald@bulk.service - Journal Service for Namespace bulk... Aug 07 16:30:55 systemd-journald[2081]: Failed to open /dev/kmsg, ignoring: Operation not permitted Aug 07 16:30:55 systemd[1]: Started systemd-journald@bulk.service - Journal Service for Namespace bulk. Aug 07 16:31:25 systemd[1]: systemd-journald@bulk.service: Deactivated successfully. The namespace configuration is at follows: $ systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/journ...@bulk.conf # /etc/systemd/journ...@bulk.conf # Use 'systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/journ...@bulk.conf' to display the full config. # See journald.conf(5) for details. [Journal] Storage=volatile RuntimeMaxUse=16M ReadKMsg=no It does not matter whether "ReadKMsg=no" is configured or not, it does not change the behavior. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.6 APT prefers stable-security APT policy: (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-23-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages systemd depends on: ii libacl1 2.3.1-3 ii libaudit1 1:3.0.9-1 ii libblkid1 2.38.1-5+deb12u1 ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u7 ii libcap2 1:2.66-4 ii libcryptsetup12 2:2.6.1-4~deb12u2 ii libfdisk1 2.38.1-5+deb12u1 ii libgcrypt20 1.10.1-3 ii libkmod2 30+20221128-1 ii liblz4-1 1.9.4-1 ii liblzma5 5.4.1-0.2 ii libmount1 2.38.1-5+deb12u1 ii libp11-kit0 0.24.1-2 ii libseccomp2 2.5.4-1+deb12u1 ii libselinux1 3.4-1+b6 ii libssl3 3.0.13-1~deb12u1 ii libsystemd-shared 252.29-1~deb12u1 ii libsystemd0 252.29-1~deb12u1 ii libzstd1 1.5.4+dfsg2-5 ii mount 2.38.1-5+deb12u1 Versions of packages systemd recommends: ii chrony [time-daemon] 4.3-2+deb12u1 ii dbus [default-dbus-system-bus] 1.14.10-1~deb12u1 Versions of packages systemd suggests: ii libfido2-1 1.12.0-2+b1 pn libqrencode4 <none> pn libtss2-esys-3.0.2-0 <none> pn libtss2-mu0 <none> pn libtss2-rc0 <none> pn polkitd | policykit-1 <none> pn systemd-boot <none> pn systemd-container <none> pn systemd-homed <none> pn systemd-resolved <none> pn systemd-userdbd <none> Versions of packages systemd is related to: pn dbus-user-session <none> pn dracut <none> ii initramfs-tools 0.142 pn libnss-systemd <none> ii libpam-systemd 252.29-1~deb12u1 ii udev 252.29-1~deb12u1 -- no debconf information
