/dev/xconsole isn't created if it isn't there. If /dev/xconsole exists it is not taken to output logs as given in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf.
Creating /dev/xconsole and changing user:group doesn't help. service rsyslog restart doesn't have access to this pipe. It doesn't matter if apparmore is active or not. The reported error is in all cases the same: Jun 13 15:25:59 nc158-muc rsyslogd-2039: Could no open output pipe '/dev/tty12': Permission denied [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2039 ] Jun 13 15:25:59 nc158-muc rsyslogd-2039: Could no open output pipe '/dev/xconsole': No such file or directory [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2039 ] # ls -la /dev/tty crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 12 Jun 13 15:18 /dev/tty12 /dev/xconsole is destroyed every reboot. If xconsole is installed /dev/xconsole should be created and used by rsyslog.
