Title:
bad defaults in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in xconsole package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
rsyslog includes the following commented-out example which is wrong:
#daemon,mail.*;\
# news.=crit;news.=err;news.=notice;\
# *.=debug;*.=info;\
# *.=notice;*.=warn /dev/tty8
This doesn't work unless you prefix /dev/tty8 with '|'
Also, the following is uncommented by default:
daemon.*;mail.*;\
news.err;\
*.=debug;*.=info;\
*.=notice;*.=warn |/dev/xconsole
And xconsole is not installed by default, so this causes a warning on
rsyslog startup:
Nov 6 01:50:03 virgil rsyslogd-2039: Could not open output pipe
'/dev/xconsole' [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2039 ]
The latter should just be commented out. The former is maybe
something that should be fixed in the code (why should we need to
specify a special '|' character for a device file?)
