Fedora :: Error - The File '/var/log/syslog' Does Not Exist
Apr 19, 2011
I got the "The file '/var/log/syslog' does not exist." message when I tried to run KSystemLog as well as "The file '/var/log/auth.log' does not exist." when I tried to view the authentication log. There is no icon beside the items "Krfb," "KSystemLog," and"Nepomuk Backup" in the "System Tools" menu of Gnome.
AMD64, Ubuntu 10.10 64bit os, with onboard video.Works really well all the way to 1680X1050 resolution, but I get this error every 10 seconds added to my syslog.
when I reviewed the error_log I found that it is logging thousands of errors which are similar. I've included a sample of the errors. The following error seems to happen constantly, from many different ip's...
Code:

Every time I try to empty the waste bin I get dolphin error - 'The file or folder /.local/share/Trash/files/IMGP1676.DNG does not exist'I tried to recreate the file 'IMGP1676.DNG' , deleted it i.e. sent i to the waste bin and then tried the empty waste bin again, although this time it was there and deleted it still reported the same error.du -h .local/share/Trash/files/ 12K .local/share/Trash/files
From what I can figure out, grub can not figure out which disk has my root file system. I checked the partition labels and they match the UUID that are in my fstab.
i was assigned with a project to analyse the performance of ASSP mail filter engine.I am using Fedora 7 with KDE3.5. I need to install a lot of perl modules to run the assp.pl code.I was trying with all sorts of packages like src.rpm, ixxx.rpm, tar.gz, tar.bz2. All these packages doesnt work exactly. When i tried with rpm packages. I am getting this error.

So i checked for config.h file as given the directory but it was missing.I don't know why?
Currently I'm running 3 operating systems on my machine (in order of installation); Windows XP, Windows 7 and Fedora 14. Unfortunately, after I installed Fedora I'm no longer able to boot Windows 7/XP. When I select the "Other" option in the Grub menu, I get the following error:
Code: Error 21: Selected disk does not exist To provide more info, here is a boot info script result: Code: Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010

I'm trying to use scp to get a file from my desktop onto the server for my school. I'm connected via VPN and using PuTTy to try to do this. I've tried every single combination/permutation/help site on the web that I can think of and I still can't get this thing working. This is what I get:
[palermo@matrix hw2]$ scp synoptic.data palermo@matrix:/rhome/palermo/ats652/hw2 palermo@matrix's password: synoptic.data: No such file or directory
Yet the file sits, in all it's glory, on my desktop. What have I missed here? This is for a homework due next week, so the urgency is kind of on.
I am looking for an open source syslog server which accumulate the each and every log of Windows, Solaris, Linux and network devices. Currently I am using Syslog-ng which is not fulfiling my requirement in Windows clients, as I need the logs of every action which user performed after logon.
I want to create a logon script (or somesuch) that creates a file (if it doesn't already exist) and checks the file for some info otherwise. If it finds a given trigger in that file, it logs into a local database and does some operations.
Now my problem isn't with creating that file or even getting it to function as a logon script -- it's with permissions. After the logon script creates the file, I want that user to have read access on it ONLY. Further, I don't want to give the user any kind of root access so that they could do the database operations in question or chown/chmod the file.
What's the best practice here? I'm noticing that whenever the script runs (in .bashrc right now) the script runs with the current user's permissions. Ideally, I'd like to make it so the login script can run at a higher level of permissions, (higher than the user has). Is this even possible? What's the best way to do this?
I try to install C support and it get this errorC/C++ template file '/home/perlsyntax/.vim/c-support/templates/Templates' does not exist or is not readableI get that after i make the dir ~/.vim and ~/.vim/plugin i put c support in my ~/.vim/plugin anyone know why i get the error message for on fedora?---------- Post added at 08:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM -------------------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM -------------------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------[/COLOR]Anyone out there?
On a KDE4 environment after downloading some music from rapidshare with JDownloader the archives self-extracted with the symbol in some of the file names. Those files couldn't be renamed or deleted, the file manager said that the files didn't exist - very weird. The files should have had some swedish characters in their file names. Now I'm stuck with those files on my machine. Anyone knows how to get rid of them?
I have a Tomato router and it has the capability to have its logs go to a external server. syslog is the obvious choice for this. So I enabled remote logging on my linux server's syslogd (syslogd -r) and I can see all of the logs in /var/log/syslog. What I want to do is take everything that comes from the IP of my router (10.0.0.1) and divert it to its own file like /var/log/tomato to avoid polluting my syslog with external logs.
I can't find any examples of someone doing this. My only solution is to get a script together that strips out any line in /var/log/syslog with 10.0.0.1 in it and puts the line into /var/log/tomato and have the script run as a cron job, but that seems unnecessarily messy.
Unless someone knows that there is a solution, I'm 95% sure that syslog doesn't support this after reading more in-depth of the man page. So I need to migrate to syslog-ng or make a crazy script that runs with cron.
We have several SLES, CentOS, Fedora server and use logmail to filter the logs on our central syslog-Server. The problem is, that the filtering take more and more time and the configuration gets more and more confusing. What program to use to analyse our central logfile? Something mysql based?
I am facing an issue with my syslog server. The server is collecting remote log also. and the issue is no log messages are updated in /var/log/messages file. But other files are getting updated.
[root@Server1 ~]# cat /etc/syslog.conf # Log all kernel messages to the console. # Logging much else clutters up the screen.
I have a self-made application running on a small embedded Linux device (which should not matter) using syslog to output some error, warning or debug logs.There is a "better" syslog daemon installed, called syslog-ng, which have some more features,t I miss a very important one:How to limit the size of the logfiles to some dedicated megabytes. I was able to create rotating logfiles with the configuration in syslog-ng.conf:
I am facing a problem while trying to log SSH messages in a separate file, say, /var/log/ssh_logs. I have tried modifying the syslog-ng.conf file as follows:
I've just configured my Linksys RVS-4000 router to syslog messages to remote syslogd server (i.e. my CentOS5 machine). Redirecting messages was easy, but now I'm having difficulties to redirect those same messages received from Linksys to a separate log file. By default, all these messages are logged to /var/log/messages, and after browsing manual pages for syslog, syslog.conf, and syslogd, came to suspect that what I want isn't possible.
wants to remove everything else that (presumably) has syslog as a dependency. how do I replace the dependency on syslog with a dependency on syslog-ng?
I am trying to install Wheezy testing i386 using netinstall .iso disk.
After the disk partition stage and while in the 'Install the base system' stage I get the message;
Debootstrap error:
The following error occurred: The bzcat is not available on the system Check /var/log/syslog or see virtual console 4 the details.
I have over the past couple of months downloaded three daily builds of testing and the md5sums are good on all of them yet I have the same problem with each disk.
I noticed in my system that my root partition is getting full. I found a lot of old compacted syslogfiles. Had a look at etc/sysconfig editor eg cron but could not find a setting which allows to delete files older than a month. Where and how could I influence this ? I deleted manually all syslog files older than a month. Approx 6GB
I have a backup of /oracle in redhat linux advance server 2.1,i have taken that backup by tar -cvzf command when untar this backup by tar -xvzf command the following error occurred-"Error exist delayed from previous error"
Trying to remove lines from a syslog text file that have duplicate strings

got the same thing in terms of a u: number but the issue is I need to remove duplicates and just leave one and the file has multiple duplicates of different u: numbers and it's 14,000 lines long. can anyone tell me if I can use awk? sed? or sort for something like this to? removing lines that have a certain string in there that's a duplicate.
