On my Ubuntu 12.04 machine (upgraded from 10.04) it was apparmor blocking the tcp listener. Adding the lines
network inet dgram, network inet6 dgram, network inet stream, network inet6 stream, to "/etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.sbin.rsyslogd" worked for me (as described on http://serverfault.com/questions/450546/rsyslogd-not-listening-on- port). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/789174 Title: rsyslog fails to create tcp socket.
