Title:
  rsyslog doesn't create /dev/xconsole

Status in “rsyslog” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rsyslog

  Looks like this was missed in the move to upstart.

  This function was called in init.d/rsyslog start:

  create_xconsole() {
          if [ ! -e /dev/xconsole ]
          then
                  mknod -m 640 /dev/xconsole p
                  chown root:adm /dev/xconsole
                  [ -x /sbin/restorecon ] && /sbin/restorecon /dev/xconsole
          fi
  }

  I can't find any reference to it now. If this is old school then it should be re
  moved from the config.

  rsyslog:
    Installed: 4.2.0-2ubuntu5
