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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1364630 Title: init: Error while reading from descriptor: Broken pipe To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/1364630/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
