Hi guys.

Log rotate failed on boot.
How I can fix this?

Fix the permissions? It could be an SELinux permissions problem. Does the following command show any output?

sudo restorecon -r -v /var/log

There was definitely an selinux policy update in the last couple days that may have contributed to that error.
