Bug Description
Installed Firestarter 1.0.3 under 11.04. Firestarter reports error on startup:
Failed to open the system log
No event information will be available.
As predicted by the message, there is no event logging. Why can't it access the logs? Also, Log File Viewer reports errors attempting to open almost every log file. Both are being run as root, so why the problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I can confirm that, after upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04, Firestarter stops to display any events information. Nothing appears in /var/log/messages anymore and the last thing recorded in /var/log/ messages. 1, apparently during the process of upgrade to 11.04 (for days ago), is "Kernel logging (proc) stopped."
