rsyslogd errors (new?) in Xubuntu 16.04.1 LTS

[MR ZenWiz]

I just had an odd occurrence - I turned off my monitor to get some
sleep, but when I powered it back on, there as no video signal.  I
rebooted and looked into the log, and there are a slew of rsyslogd
errors:

Aug 27 13:03:55 marbase rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd"
swVersion="8.16.0" x-pid="3009" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] start
Aug 27 13:03:54 marbase rsyslogd-2222: command
'KLogPermitNonKernelFacility' is currently not permitted - did you
already set it via a RainerScript command (v6+ config)? [v8.16.0 try
http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2222 ]
Aug 27 13:03:55 marbase rsyslogd: rsyslogd's groupid changed to 104
Aug 27 13:03:55 marbase rsyslogd: rsyslogd's userid changed to 101
Aug 27 13:03:55 marbase rsyslogd-2039: Could not open output pipe
'/dev/xconsole':: No such file or directory [v8.16.0 try
http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2039 ]
Aug 27 13:03:55 marbase rsyslogd-2007: action 'action 10' suspended,
next retry is Sat Aug 27 13:04:25 2016 [v8.16.0 try
http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2007 ]

I checked the URLs, and it appears that this version of rsyslogd is
old.  Or am I way off base here?

Thanks.
