First of all check the creator of the initrd image: grep -rs xconsole /lib/mkinitrd /sbin/mkinitrd* then just do zcat /boot/initrd | grep xconsole .. beside this are you using apparmor or any other tools causing the kernel to watch on file accesses? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

IMHO the wrong ownership should be correct within devtmpfs at the first creation. Otherwise /dev/xconsole is not usable ... even root seems not to able to use it as /etc/X11/xdm/GiveDevices is called by root (hopefully).

@Stefan Kost:

Please check if /etc/X11/xdm/GiveDevices is executed by root that is that the line

id -u

before

chown ${USER}:tty /dev/xconsole

should write out `0'

I logged that to syslog and I think there is one of the problems: Feb 20 18:55:08 hoshi GiveDevices[3213]: 573669-permissions: 500 500 is my own userid.

The fifo device /dev/xconsole its self created in /etc/init.d/syslog but only if it does not exit:

if ! test -e /dev/xconsole ; then mknod -m 0600 /dev/xconsole p chown root:tty /dev/xconsole fi

which is definitly not the permission found in comment #0.
