Package: x11-apps
Version: 7.5+5
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/xconsole

Hello dear Listers,

xconsole seems to be broken in 6.0.0 - package of Debian.
there is only the message of this console "Couldn't open console".
Is it a matter of file-permissions ???
When I try to upgrade with apt-get install xconsole
resp. apt-get upgrade xconsole
this package retrieving ends with:
"0 actualized, 0 new installed, 0 to remove and 0 not actualized"

Whats up and what can I do ?
For feedback thank you.

Happy Hacking.

Hi.

If you run “strace -o /tmp/foo xconsole” as a user and then check that
/tmp/foo file, you'll see EPERM there. If you use sudo, you'll see it
works just fine.

From the manpage:
| DESCRIPTION
|        The xconsole program displays messages which are usually sent to /dev/console.

kibi@bowmore:~$ ls -l /dev/console 
crw------- 1 root root 5, 1 Nov 14 00:22 /dev/console

So I think what you're seeing is the expected behaviour. I'm therefore
closing this bug report.

Mraw,
KiBi.
