WSL2 Ubuntu环境下rsyslog因xconsole问题启动失败的解决求助

大家好，我现在在WSL2的Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS环境里，想验证定时任务cronjob有没有运行，查资料说要去看/var/log/syslog，结果发现这个文件根本不存在。后来又看到说要先启动rsyslog服务，于是我运行了service rsyslog start，结果弹出一堆权限错误：

deverteuils@:~$ service rsyslog start

• Starting enhanced syslogd rsyslogd mknod: /dev/xconsole: Permission denied

chown: cannot access '/dev/xconsole': No such file or directory

rsyslogd: error writing pid file (creation stage)

: Permission denied

rsyslogd: run failed with error -3000（可查看rsyslog.h了解错误含义）

rsyslog startup failure: error reading "fork pipe": No such file or directory

[ OK ]

之后我按照网上的方法修改了/etc/init.d/rsyslog文件，把里面的create_xconsole调用注释掉了，但启动还是报错：

deverteuils@:/etc/init.d$ service rsyslog start

• Starting enhanced syslogd rsyslogd rsyslogd: error writing pid file (creation stage)

: Permission denied

rsyslogd: run failed with error -3000（可查看rsyslog.h了解错误含义）

rsyslog startup failure: error reading "fork pipe": No such file or directory

[ OK ]

我还试了另一个网上的修改方法，也没用。现在我想要么能不依赖xconsole启动rsyslog，要么能成功把xconsole装到我的机器上，但折腾了好久都没搞定，想请教大家有没有解决办法？

附一下我的系统信息和修改后的rsyslog脚本内容：

系统版本：

修改后的/etc/init.d/rsyslog内容：
