situation on Lucid updated:

into syslog:

Apr  3 18:50:58 localhost kernel: imklog 4.2.0, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
Apr  3 18:50:58 localhost rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" 
swVersion="4.2.0" x-pid="986" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] (re)start
Apr  3 18:50:58 localhost rsyslogd: rsyslogd's groupid changed to 103
Apr  3 18:50:58 localhost rsyslogd: rsyslogd's userid changed to 101
Apr  3 18:50:58 localhost rsyslogd-2039: Could no open output file 
'/dev/xconsole' [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2039 ]

about 2039:
an open call returned EACCES, which most probably means a file either does not 
exist or has the wrong permission settings (if running as root, the default, 
permissions are very unlikely to be the problem). This may be caused by a 
simple typo in a file name. 

on my system  /dev/console exist but not xconsole.
