Tim, "trouble-shooting with a shotgun" Ric here. Just for ducks, go into
the "services" app, select all run levels, and scroll down the list to
see if anything jumps out at you that is not enabled. See if syslog is
enabled. I have installed cleanly out of the box, too. I get system
messages. But I dimly recall having to make the service enabled checking
it's check boxes for level 3 and 5. 

It used to be called "services", now I see it
under  /administration/Server Settings/ Services System Management 
...in my KDE menu. Hope this helps, Ric
