[Bug 459730] Re: rsyslog doesn't create /dev/xconsole

[Florian Heigl]

Still exists.
Comment #4 is not true. There would be no bug reporti f it didn't complain, right?

for me this not completely breaks rsyslog right away, instead it seems
to stop logging some time after launch.

Since there is also a fix in this launchpad (see the part about
"rsyslog.d/50-default.conf") it would be AWESOME if this quite critical
issue could be fixed? After 2 yeears?


** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: rsyslog
+ Still exists.
+ Comment #4 is not true. There would be no bug reporti f it didn't complain, right?
  
- Looks like this was missed in the move to upstart.
+ for me this not completely breaks rsyslog right away, instead it seems

- This function was called in init.d/rsyslog start:
- 
- create_xconsole() {
-         if [ ! -e /dev/xconsole ]
-         then
-                 mknod -m 640 /dev/xconsole p
-                 chown root:adm /dev/xconsole
-                 [ -x /sbin/restorecon ] && /sbin/restorecon /dev/xconsole
-         fi
- }
- 
- I can't find any reference to it now. If this is old school then it
- should be removed from the config.

Title:
  rsyslog doesn't create /dev/xconsole

Status in “rsyslog” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rsyslog

  Looks like this was missed in the move to upstart.

  This function was called in init.d/rsyslog start:

  create_xconsole() {
          if [ ! -e /dev/xconsole ]
          then
                  mknod -m 640 /dev/xconsole p
                  chown root:adm /dev/xconsole
                  [ -x /sbin/restorecon ] && /sbin/restorecon /dev/xconsole
          fi
  }

  I can't find any reference to it now. If this is old school then it should be re
  moved from the config.

  rsyslog:
    Installed: 4.2.0-2ubuntu5
