Description of problem: After upgrading my wpa_supplicant on 2015-08-24 from 1:2.4-4.fc22.x86_64 to 1:2.4-3.fc22.x86_64, the log file has been empty. [root@bofh log]# tail wpa_supplicant.log-20150825 ... EAP-MSCHAPV2: Authentication succeeded EAP-TLV: TLV Result - Success - EAP-TLV/Phase2 Completed enp0s25: CTRL-EVENT-EAP-SUCCESS EAP authentication completed successfully [root@bofh log]# tail wpa_supplicant.log [root@bofh log]# Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): wpa_supplicant-1:2.4-3.fc22.x86_64 How reproducible: Unknown Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade to the latest wpa_supplicant 2. Tail /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log Actual results: Empty file. Expected results: Standard wpa supplicant logs, as has been the case before. Additional info: Also the logs it reports to journald are empty: [root@bofh log]# systemctl status wpa_supplicant.service ● wpa_supplicant.service - WPA Supplicant daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since 火 2015-08-25 01:05:57 CEST; 4 days ago Main PID: 2179 (wpa_supplicant) CGroup: /system.slice/wpa_supplicant.service └─2179 /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -u -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log -P /var/run/wpa_supplicant.pid 8月 25 01:05:57 bofh.thuis.puiterwijk.org systemd[1]: Starting WPA Supplicant daemon... 8月 25 01:05:57 bofh.thuis.puiterwijk.org systemd[1]: Started WPA Supplicant daemon. [root@bofh log]# I am thinking wpa_supplicant may be the cause of networking issues on my wired connection (where I use 802.1X), but since there are no logs written I cannot verify this.
So, it turns out that just the default verbosity has changed, as after creating a /etc/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant.service with -dd argument, I get logging again. Perhaps it would be an idea to set it to -d in the packages unit file, so that at least the old amount of logs are still retained?
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
wpa_supplicant now (that is Rawhide, Fedora 24) uses syslog protocol for logging so the relevant logs should now land in journal.
