rsyslogd logs “action ‘action nn’ suspended”

Might be caused by nothing listening on /dev/xconsole – remediation: Comment out the relevant entries in /etc/rsyslogd.conf:

Change:

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

To:

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