#1 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] syslog not being rotated » 2026-04-19 08:55:52

Editing /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog like this

[...]
	postrotate
		invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate > /dev/null
	endscript
[...]

solved the issue. I suppose there's something wrong in the /usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate test condition

The first entry in /var/log/syslog dates back to October 2025, and the file takes now more than 150MB

The content of /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog is

/var/log/syslog
/var/log/mail.log
/var/log/kern.log
/var/log/auth.log
/var/log/user.log
/var/log/cron.log
{
	rotate 4
	weekly
	missingok
	notifempty
	compress
	delaycompress
	sharedscripts
	postrotate
		/usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate
	endscript
}

while /usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate contains

#!/bin/sh

if [ -d /run/systemd/system ]; then
    systemctl kill -s HUP --kill-whom=main rsyslog.service
else
    invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate > /dev/null
fi

Any clue?

I run this script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# kill any existing pipewire instance to restore sound
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse 1>/dev/null 2>&1
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/wireplumber 1>/dev/null 2>&1
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/pipewire 1>/dev/null 2>&1

exec /usr/bin/pipewire &

# wait for pipewire to start before attempting to start related daemons
while [ "$(pgrep -f /usr/bin/pipewire)" = "" ] ; do
   sleep 1
done

exec /usr/bin/wireplumber &

# wait for wireplumber to start before attempting to start pipewire-pulse
while [ "$(pgrep -f /usr/bin/wireplumber)" = "" ] ; do
   sleep 1
done

exec /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse &

Same issue. I had switched from pulseaudio to pipewire. At the moment I have to run a script to start the service that exposes audio resources.
If it's your case too, I can provide the script later.

No matter what, I was unable to configure correctly the open nvidia drivers (v550). I almost followed this https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers which is pretty old.
The only way I was able to use nvidia drivers was availing to the closed version. But now I'm struggling to make Wayland run.
Any clue?
Thanks in advance
