This issue still exists on Ubuntu 13.10. It was mentioned above that the message in /var/log/syslog is just a warning, and can be ignored, but note that the syslog actually speaks of an "error":
Dec 9 04:14:00 xxxx rsyslogd-2039: Could not open output pipe '/dev/xconsole' [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2039 ] Dec 9 04:14:00 xxxx rsyslogd-2124: CONFIG ERROR: could not interpret master config file '/etc/rsyslog.conf'. [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2124 ] Not easy for a regular user to know what errors are serious and which ones are not. Would be better if syslog messages were clear on this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459730 Title: rsyslog doesn't create /dev/xconsole To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/459730/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
