Public bug reported:

Hello

I want to remove duplicate entries in the syslog and kern.log files.
It doesn't work by enabling these options

ForwardToSyslog=no
ForwardToKMsg=no
ReadKMsg=no

in the file grep -v "#" /etc/systemd/journald.conf

See below

a@b:~$ grep -v "#" /etc/systemd/journald.conf

[Journal]
ForwardToSyslog=no
ForwardToKMsg=no
ReadKMsg=no
a@b:~$ 

a@b:~$ wc -l /var/log/kern.log
897 /var/log/kern.log
a@b:~$ wc -l /var/log/syslog
1621 /var/log/syslog
a@b:~$ 

I have been using this trick for several years
sudo sed -ri 's/^(\*\.\*;auth,authpriv\.none)/#\1/;s/^(kern\.\*)/#\1/' /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf.

Please let me know if this is the correct way to do this (  Now Ubuntu
24.04.3).
