I fixed this by adding xconsole to the "/lib/udev/devices" directory and adjusting the permissions. But I still have to restart rsyslog every day for xconsole to continue working, because after the daily cron activities it ceases to work.
It seems to me the right fix would be: 1) Make the "x11-apps" package install script add "xconsole" to "/lib/udev/devices" (maybe only with the "admin" group acess) 2) Fix the cron script to restart/reload rsyslog (maybe only if "/dev/xconsole" exists) -- rsyslog doesn't create /dev/xconsole https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459730 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
