[Bug 1364630] Re: init: Error while reading from descriptor: Broken pipe

 

I'm also having this in ubuntu Gnome 14.10 64bit and when I opened the link apeared in the log by this command :
------------------------------------------
cat /var/log/syslog|grep pipe
init: Error while reading from descriptor: Broken pipe
rsyslogd-2039: Could no open output pipe '/dev/xconsole': No such file or directory [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2039 ]
------------------------------------------
the solution is just there http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2039
/************************************************************************************/
In Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS, Precise Pangolin, you may get the following error in syslog:

Dec 10 09:17:37 dl6-c4331 rsyslogd-2039: Could not open output pipe
'/dev/xconsole' [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2039 ]

The package rsyslog-5.8.6-1ubuntu8.6.deb expects /dev/xconsole to be
installed, but 'apt-file search /dev/xconsole' found no packages that
provide it.

Comment it out near the end of /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf :

# daemon.*;mail.*;\
# news.err;\
# *.=debug;*.=info;\
# *.=notice;*.=warn |/dev/xconsole

You can restart rsyslog with 'sudo service rsyslog restart' to confirm the error is gone.

it works in ubuntu gnome 14.10 64bit
Good Luck
