Bug Description
On utopic (14.10) I have the following probllem:
Each time I reboot rsyslogd is not running.
#lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 14.10
Release: 14.10
#uname -a
Linux chromium 3.17.2-
#apt-cache policy rsyslog
rsyslog:
Geïnstalleerd: 7.4.4-1ubuntu11
Kandidaat: 7.4.4-1ubuntu11
Versietabel:
*** 7.4.4-1ubuntu11 0
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
When I do:
#sudo service syslog start
the system responds that the service is already running. However using:
#ps -ef | grep syslog
shows that there is no such procesa.
When doing:
#sudo service syslog restart
the (non-existing service) is stopped and started and runs normally.
Finally (after many frustrating hours) I found the following line in /var/log/
ERROR: Could not determine network interfaces, you must use a interfaces config line
I suddenly realized old problems in the past getting smbd started before the network becomes available. Appearantly that is the case here as well. So I went ahead and changed /etc/init/
#sudo servicestart on filesystem
start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up)
Now rsyslogd starts properly.
Note that a chromebook has no ethernet port, only wifi.
I have no idea if this is the optimal start on event.
