Syslog on idle tty not possible . . .

[Ulrich Grün]

Hi all,

I have Kubuntu 9.10 now. There's a few things that strikes me with this 
edition. The problem I'd like to address here is the inability to have kernel 
and other syslog messages displayed on tty 10 (or 11 or 12). All I get is a 
blinking cursor . . .
I have the same code in /etc/syslog.conf which looks like this: (until 9.10, 
this worked fine).

/etc/syslog.conf:
# I like to have messages displayed on the console, but only on a virtual
# console I usually leave idle.
#
kern.*;\
	kern.=crit;\
	kern.=err;\
	kern.=alert;\
	kern.=emerg;\
	kern.=panic;	/dev/tty10

daemon,mail.*;\
	news.=crit;news.=err;news.=notice;\
	*.=debug;*.=info;\
	*.=notice;*.=warning	/dev/tty11

# Orginale Konfiguration:
daemon,mail.*;\
	news.=crit;news.=err;news.=notice;\
	*.=debug;*.=info;\
	*.=notice;*.=warn	/dev/tty12



If someone has a clue, I'd be very grateful. What am I without a good and 
available syslog!?
