Greetings List, I was asked to forward this mail to the list by Petter. I am currently 'on the road' and cannot at the moment subscribe to the list because of both bandwidth concerns and connection reliability - so would request that all responses also be forwarded to me : cg <namtok at gmx.net> Thank you and apologies in advance for the extra hassle.
I am a (sometime) developer and a (sometime) admin ; I work from a laptop and have had a testing/unstable system for over seven years. All has been mostly brilliant - until now. Several days ago I decided to take a chance and allowed sysv-rc to convert to dependency boot. In general, things seem well (the boot is *significantly* faster) - but for two issues : -- booting : when the boot process is finished and X and WDM have been started I can't type into either any xterm or, from time to time, even the WDM display manager id & password slot. If I then exit the X session, log in as root and run WDM manually everything goes well after that. Obviously there is a timing error. I have generated the boot graphs (attached below) and HAL seems to be started later than WDM, which doesn't seem correct. The X log shows that, the input modules are loaded then, at the end, unloaded with the messages : (II) config/hal: Adding input device AT Translated Set 2 keyboard (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8) (II) config/hal: Adding input device Sleep Button (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8) (II) config/hal: Adding input device AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8) (II) config/hal: Adding input device PS/2 Mouse (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8) (II) config/hal: Adding input device HID 0461:4d09 (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8) (II) config/hal: Adding input device Power Button (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8) (II) UnloadModule: "kbd" (II) UnloadModule: "mouse" (II) UnloadModule: "synaptics" as I can correct this glitch by manually restarting WDM this remains only an irritation for now. -- shutting down : this one is potentially more serious as my file system is at risk. When I start the system, the various file systems frequently show 'recovering journal', indicating that they are not being cleanly shut down. I can find no listings in the logs for this and I'm afraid that I simply can't tell anything from the graph (attached). I would much appreciate any ideas or suggestions you might be able to make. Is there some sort of available diagnostic routine for dependency boot ? I have searched everywhere for three days now and cannot find anything but scattered references and bug reports. Thanks for your attention ; best wishes & kind regards, Chris Attached : boot.dot reboot.dot dot.depend.boot dot.depend.start dot.depend.stop default.rcS ls.rcS.d.rc2.d Please let me know if further info is required.
