Public bug reported: Binary package hint: rsyslog
natty i386 updated since a week or so, several log files are not populated (/var/log/): daemon, debug, messages & user.log (they are empty) looking at syslog, i see: kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped. rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="4.6.4" x-pid="933" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] exiting on signal 15. kernel: imklog 4.6.4, log source = /proc/kmsg started. rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="4.6.4" x-pid="967" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] (re)start rsyslogd: rsyslogd's groupid changed to 102 rsyslogd: rsyslogd's userid changed to 101 rsyslogd-2039: Could no open output pipe '/dev/xconsole' [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2039 ] As rsyslog-2039 suggest a typo somewhere and complaint about /dev/xconsole, i've verified and found that : /dev/console exist but not /dev/xconsole, so that might be the problem.
