Edit sudo vim /etc/systemd/journald.conf make variable Storage=persistent to make journald store the journal files in /var/log/journal, this will create directory if necessary. This also ensure log files are available from previous boots.

sudo systemctl force-reload systemd-journald to reload journald or restart instead sudo journalctl -u systemd-journald to check status of journal.
