I'm can reproduce the problem, both on Debian lenny and Debian unstable (i386) >> starting rsyslogd, then xconsole, will cause xconsole to hang and no >> message is written to the xconsole window. >> 4.4.2 did not behave that way. >> >> See also the debug log I sent previously > > The log tells me that it has a problem to write to the pipe, and thus ignores > it. This also happens at my system, but only if xconsole is not running. So > the debug log does no help very much this time. The problem is, that xconsole is running at this point! To reiterate: I start rsyslogd then xconsole then try to log a message The result is the debug log and no message showing up in xconsole.
