crp Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 This is an issue that I never encountered with RedHat or CentOS but am with a Ubuntu server. There have been system log outputs that display in the console since it was installed, but they were few and when I went into GUI mode, the messages did not appear in the desktop console application. However, today i put in an rsyslog and everything relating to that was getting put into the console, any and all open consoles I am wondering if it has something to do with user name used in the rsyslog.conf , as the original conf file had the user and owner of the log files as syslog . Which turned out to make the log files impossible to access, I couldn't even access the directory the log files are in. So i changed the user/owner to the normal user. Though that would not explain the messages that appear at the command prompt when not in GUI mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Interesting issue, @crp. I don't have any input for you, though. I don't dig under-the-hood in any Linux other than my own operating system (Slackware) these days. Someone more comfortable with Ubuntu here might jump in with some suggestions.

securitybreach Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Sorry I also do not have any experience with rsyslog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
