That system.journal is root:root owned is a bit strange. Are you running
journalctl as root or (unprivileged) user?

Apparently this file is still changed, looking at the date "Jul 17 23:32
system.journal".

Just to avoid the obvious:
If you run "sudo journalctl -f" and logger foo, do you see this message
show up in the journal or not?


Is this maybe a VM where you could snapshot the current state to check
if a reboot does fix the issue?

Btw., I'll be away for the next couple of days. I hope someone else from
the team can further assist with debugging this issue.
