I get this message too, but know why in my case. The OS is on a USB
stick and /var/log is mounted on tmpfs. Being lazy and not easily scared
I have not yet set up a way of writing to disk when the machine is shut
down. Commenting out the relevant entry in /etc/fstab sees it go away.
The reason for your getting the same message may be different from mine,
of course. But it does appear logging (or the failure to log) is at the
root of it.
