On a new 13.2 installation there is no /dev/xconsole. It seems that the /dev/xconsole pipe is exlusively created by rsyslogd using /usr/sbin/rsyslog-service-prepare. And apparently rsyslogd is the only one using it.
Is there really a need for /dev/xconsole if rsyslogd is not installed or would xconsole just display /dev/console then?
No, it should work the other way around: with no rsyslogd around any more, and xconsole reading from /dev/console when /dev/xconsole doesn't exist, journald (or whatever) should be taught to write log messages of a certain severity etc. to /dev/console. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
