Having just encountered this on a copy of 12.04 Server running on a virtual machine, I endorse Kenyon Ralph's approach in post 33 above. I don't intend to run X on this machine, so it's easiest to comment out the part at the end of /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf that pipes some output to /dev/xsession.
I think the server version of this file should have the pipe to xsession disabled by default. Ubuntu Server doesn't ship with a version of X so the current 50-default.conf file conflicts with the basic configuration of the distribution. -- 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
