Since the config for xconsole output in rsyslog has survived despite broken for over 5 years now, I suggest removing that from the default config will reduce confusion and clearly create no new problems. Those wanting it have had to actively repair this for 5 years and shouldn't have trouble adding the additional config into rsyslog.d/50-default.conf.
No harm is done by this solution and the operating system becomes a bit more friendly and polished. -- 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
