This seems to be a typical case of Ubuntu brain damage. I don't think I've seen this behavior in other distributions (CentOS, Debian, Fedora, even Arch).

>On Ubuntu 16.04, /var/log/journal does not exist by default. Create it to keep and query events from previous boots.

I have seen this in CentOS. Also see https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/159390
OpenSuse is the same
