    syslog not updating after upgrade to 15.04

    Hi

    After upgrading to 15.04. /var/log/syslog is en empty file. it is not updating. Is this a setup issue or systemd/15.04 issue.

    Is it now in a new location ? (like many ubuntu users I am very new to systemd)

    ls -ls syslog:
    0 -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 0 May 13 10:41 syslog

    I can't confirm as I'm not at my 15.04 system right now, but I do believe the missing syslog file is due to systemd. The systemd equivalent is journalctl. Lots of good information on the systemd journal (including a method for writing the journal to syslog) in the Arch Wiki. Scroll down to the "journal" section of the web page.
