I'm experience a problem in Ubuntu. I guess since last update, I've lost the /dev/log symlink.
something like:
/dev/log -> /run/systemd/journal/dev-log=
How can i recreate it?
For example:
update-grub --> logger: socket /dev/log: No such file or directory logger: socket /dev/log: No such file or directory
How can I solve it?
Since the /dev file system is created and populated at boot, the easiest way to restore /dev/log is to reboot the system in question.
Alternatively, if it was indeed a symbolic link, you know its former target and the target still exists, you can recreate it with:
sudo ln -s /run/systemd/journal/dev-log /dev/log
