Title:
  desktop freeze

Status in “rsyslog” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  system reaches the login prompt and freezes. nothing works at this time.
  syslog shows 'unable to open pipe /dev/xconsole' coming from rsyslogd. it says to look at rsyslog.com/e/2039
  but there is nothing there.
  it smells like a permissions issue where the daemon does not have write permission.
  not sure why it happened. I can drop to root shell using the recovery mode.

  pls advise what to do.

  it is ubuntu 11.10
