Package: systemd
Version: 215-12
Followup-For: Bug #772272

I am also experiencing this issue.  I have multiple services running
as systemd user services, and I don't have access to the logs of any
of them:

music at rippy:~ 1$ systemctl --user status mopidy
● mopidy.service - Mopidy Music Server
   Loaded: loaded (/home/music/.config/systemd/user/mopidy.service; enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Tue 2015-03-24 22:22:54 PDT; 11h ago
 Main PID: 910 (mopidy)
   CGroup: /user.slice/user-1001.slice/user at 1001.service/mopidy.service
           └─910 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/mopidy
music at rippy:~ 0$ journalctl --user
No journal files were found.
music at rippy:~ 1$ journalctl --user-unit=mopidy.service
No journal files were found.
music at rippy:~ 1$

This user is not in the systemd-journal group.  However, the
journalctl man page declares that this should not be necessary (from
journalctl(1)):

    All users are granted access to their private per-user
    journals. However, by default, only root and users who are members
    of the "systemd-journal" group get access to the system journal
    and the journals of other users.

Thanks.

jamie.
