Public bug reported: See bug 794727. rsyslog no longer uses /var/log/messages, so this is a wishlist bug for a symlink to help users who might get confused or concerned by an empty /var/log/messages file.
If bug 794727 ever changes from Won't Fix, then this bug becomes redundant. ** Affects: rsyslog (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist Status: Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1181264 Title: Please symlink /var/log/messages to syslog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/1181264/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
