Bug Description

1)
Description: Ubuntu 17.10
Release: 17.10

2) 8.16.0-1ubuntu9

3) I'd like to see what happened in the system

4) syslog is empty, messages is obsolete, lastlog shows only pure console logins (it maybe unrelated)

Since rsyslog does not work, I replace it to inetutils-syslogd, but it seems like inetutils-syslogd has some problems with apparmor, but aa-logprof gives me nothing and says all is ok.

Today rsyslog started fine. I don't know what the problem was.

How could I gather more info about this issue without rsyslog?

I think it can't start because /var/run/rsyslogd.pid does not removed on shutdown.
