Comment 3 for bug 1256380

I just tried a desktop image from today that does have rsyslog 7.4.4-1ubuntu2 and things are still broke. Let me fill in the details.

We configure our VM via libvirt to have a serial device(/dev/ttyS0) that writes to a file on the host. During the desktop install we have some early preseed logic that adds an /etc/rsyslog.d config file that directs syslog messages to /dev/ttyS0. Under recent images, nothing is showing up in the file on the host end. For a quick sanity check I ran the following command in the VM:

 echo ANDY > /dev/ttyS0

This resulted in content showing up in the file on the host. So I think this means rsyslog is still not working.
