Hi all,
I have the same problem on Ubuntu 22.04. I have compiled from the latest tarball and copied all our logbooks from our old Ubuntu 18.04 server
to a new Ubuntu 22.04. The logbooks does however not appear when I log in, so I assume ELOG doesn't have read access either? |

Permissions are handled by the operating system and have nothing to do with elog. Make sure you run elog under an account which has write access to the
desired directories. Consult Ubuntu documentation how to do that. Sometimes it's helpful to start elog interactively with the -v flag to see some verbose
output. Maybe you can spot something there. |

Sometimes this can also be an SELinux issue, if you have that service running. Try "journalctl | grep denied" to see denied resources and consult
the SELinux documentation on how to fix that.

I used "chown" to pass permissions from root to my deafult user, then restarted the service and now I can make posts. Thank you!

For the last couple of months we are getting a random elogd crash once in a while we are getting something like the following in the middle of the night

Most likely these are some currupt logbook files. If you get a coredump (or stack trace) you can maybe figure out which file it was. These are plain
ASCII files (YYMMDDa.log) and you can see with an editor if someting there is not in order.
