[gentoo-user] you are stopping a boot service

[Hartmut Figge]

Greetings,

i am always booting to a console and switch later to X using startx. Now
i have noticed a message appearing after typing the password:

i5 login: ********
Password:
Last login: Sat May 14 06:58:55 CEST 2011 on tty1
 * WARNING: you are stopping a boot service

Same thing happens after switching from X to a console with e.g.
ctrl-altl-F2. Hm? :)

You may have a service in the wrong runlevel called "boot". What do you
have in it? ( 'ls /etc/runlevels/boot' )

Mhm, i do not see how the runlevel 'boot' can be involved by switching
to a console and a login there.

I guess there is something odd either in
 - /etc/pam.d
 - /etc/profile*
 - /etc/bash/bashrc
 - ~/.bashrc
 - ~/.bash_profile

Do you mean, every time you switch? Even if you do not log in?

Only after typing the password during login on a console. But that is
solved now thanks to your hint. :)

In the past there must have been a reason why i had added these lines to
my ~/.bashrc which i have now commented out:

----- .bashrc -----
#if [ $TERM = "linux" ]
#then
# sudo /etc/init.d/consolefont restart > /dev/null
#fi
---------------

Glad I could help. It could have been worse, though. I once had a user
who wrote `exit 0` at the end of his ~/.bashrc file in order to
"properly finish that script". It took a while to figure out why he
couldn't log in. ;-)
