Description Marcos Mello 2014-11-05 21:14:49 UTC

I did a minimal (text mode) 13.2 install and the system does not have a persistent syslog implementation installed. Neither rsyslog/syslog-ng nor systemd-logger. Nothing. Only runtime journal left.

Is this by design? If it is, I would recommend put a warning in the release notes.

Comment 1 Bernhard Wiedemann 2014-11-06 18:34:45 UTC

I guess it is intentional to be minimal.
Different people have different ideas of what should be part of "minimal".
IMHO, it is enough, when it boots, you can login and install more software...
and the syslog-of-your-choice can be such extra software.

Comment 2 Marcos Mello 2014-11-06 19:21:22 UTC

No problem. But it has changed, because 13.1 installs rsyslog by default in this case.

Comment 3 Stephan Kulow 2014-11-06 19:37:53 UTC

I would claim that was a bug in 13.1 then
