Per former discussion, better safe than sorry - added a FFe request to the description and subscribed the release-team. ** Description changed: + [FFe] + * (re-)introduce a feature to ensure the initial (boot time) kernel +messages are preserved + * This existed up to Trusty (upstart) but

It would be the readdition of a feature that we lost as a feature regression nine releases ago. I don't see why the release team would object, but I can't speak for the release team. It feels like a feature to me. In the general case, ignoring feature freeze for features being readded that were

@xnox - thanks for your ping, I agree if we would have worked on this in Vivid or at least Xenial. But being so late I'd think to ask for an ack by the Release team is not wrong. I thought here "better safe than sorry" somewhat applies. OTOH fortunately the change itself isn't very invasive to an

I'm not sure why you think an FFe is needed for this. It is a simple regression since move from upstart->systemd in the rsyslog package, and we must SRU this back to all the releases back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is

As soon as something isn't urgent it falls off everyones lists :-/ I have found this old bug (again) in my notes, felt embarrassed and converted the suggestion of xnox into an MP that we can ack and push to early 19.10 then (hopefully not forgetting it again). We probably will have to rebase

Thanks Dimitri for all the pre-work and the suggested systemd unit matching the old upstart job. We really like that, especially as it avoids the concern of "just another ongoing log" due to being an initial one-shot task that does not continue to log the ongoing messages. And yes - having

Marking as invalid for systemd package. As neither it, nor upstart shipped the functionality in question. It is a regression in the rsyslog package. Or possibly makes sense to ship this in like util-linux which ships /bin/dmesg. ** Changed in: rsyslog (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) =>

Sorry but that argument is illogical. The only retention period that would ensure that you always have the boot time kernel messages is 'infinity' and that's not a reasonable option for obvious reasons (c.f. LP #1618188). ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: Won't Fix => New -- You

Right, /var/log/dmesg was an upstart specific file. There is little point in writing yet another log file, given that all the information is already available in the systemd journal, /var/log/kern.log, and /var/log/syslog. ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: New = Won't Fix -- You
