Title:
  tahr /var/log/syslog missing

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  jerry@Aspire1:~$ ubuntu-bug linux
  tail: cannot open ‘/var/log/syslog’ for reading: No such file or directory

  Took a look, there is no syslog.  In spite of all this on the screen
  ubuntu-bug does work:

  jerry@Aspire1:~$ jerry@Aspire1:~$ ubuntu-bug linux
  jerry@Aspire1:~$: command not found
  jerry@Aspire1:~$ tail: cannot open ‘/var/log/syslog’ for reading: No such file or directory
  No command 'tail:' found, did you mean:
   Command 'tailf' from package 'util-linux' (main)
   Command 'tail' from package 'coreutils' (main)
  tail:: command not found
  jerry@Aspire1:~$ jerry@Aspire1:~$ 
  jerry@Aspire1:~$: command not found
  jerry@Aspire1:~$ (process:3240): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
  bash: syntax error near unexpected token `:'
  jerry@Aspire1:~$ NOTE: child process received `Goodbye', closing down

  Not much in /var/log:

  jerry@Aspire1:~$ ls /var/log
  boot.log  dmesg    gpu-manager.log  pm-powersave.log  udev
  cups      dmesg.0  lightdm          samba             Xorg.0.log

  Thanks.
