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.
