Is it possible to start xconsole(1) on the desktop? It can be turned by setting it on from XDM. I may have to do this. For convenience, I want to be able to turn it on and off from the desktop, also without restarting my window manager.
Is there another way for the latest output of dmesg to be scrolled to a terminal on my desktop?

less -f /dev/console
from root showed nothing. I had to pkill it, to get out of it. cat /dev/console
from root didn't show anything either.These are older threads on it: Thread cant-run-xconsole-as-non-root-user.61022 (2017), Thread xconsole-failure-in-8-0.9969/ (2010)
