WSL and Guacamole - No guacd messages

Hi,

I successfully installed Guacamole on Debian Distro under Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows Server 2019.

Syslog is not started by default, that is fixed by /etc/init.d/rsyslog start.

But there are no guacd messages logged to /var/log/messages ?    Catalina.out is okay.

Run "logger hello"

-          It appears in messages

Run /etc/init.d/guacd

-          Nothing is logged.

-          Guacamole is working.

Is this a quirk of WSL, and how can I fix it?

Adrian

I have not tried this myself, but it seems to be an outstanding bug in WSL:

https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/534

It looks like WSL has rsyslog set up to the extent that "logger" will work,
but otherwise has a broken syslog.
