Comment 17 for bug 328881

I just searched launchpad for "bootlogd" (without "misleading" to exclude reports about bootlogd config files being installed without bootlogd itself) and did not find anything about bootlogd being significantly broken. There were some references to it not working when launched from a terminal other than the console but I didn't find the actual report and suspect that is anyway a rare situation.

Boot logging is an important diagnosis tool; upstart boot logging cannot safely be enabled (so cannot be used to do any logging); and bootlogd is working satisfactorily for many of us. For these reasons I re-iterate: "Please, maintainers, consider supporting a workaround such as the popular but unsupported bootlogd_2.86.02".
