Commenting out: **** # daemon.*;mail.*;\ # news.err;\ # *.=debug;*.=info;\ # *.=notice;*.=warn |/dev/xconsole **** in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf did not work for me on Xubuntu 14.10, however doing the following did work:
terminal code: sudo mknod -m 640 /dev/xconsole p sudo chown root:adm /dev/xconsole I now no longer have the broken pipe message during boot. It seems to me, that the following function in /etc/init.d/rsyslog is never run: create_xconsole() { XCONSOLE=/dev/xconsole if [ "$(uname -s)" != "Linux" ]; then XCONSOLE=/run/xconsole ln -sf $XCONSOLE /dev/xconsole fi if [ ! -e $XCONSOLE ]; then mknod -m 640 $XCONSOLE p chown root:adm $XCONSOLE [ -x /sbin/restorecon ] && /sbin/restorecon $XCONSOLE fi } Kind regards Teddy -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1364630 Title: init: Error while reading from descriptor: Broken pipe Status in Upstart: Confirmed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: [ 16.934379] init: Error while reading from descriptor: Broken pipe ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 Package: init 1.20ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-11.16-generic 3.16.1 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-11-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Tue Sep 2 17:23:15 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-04-27 (128 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140416.2) SourcePackage: init-system-helpers UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/1364630/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
