I've nuked the print statements since they seem like more trouble than they are worth. I've also modified it so that if firstboot sees that /etc/sysconfig/firstboot exists, it will turn off it's initscript so that all subsequent boots will not try to start it at all. Should be fixed in firstboot-1.3.7-1. Thanks for your report. Confirmed, thanks! |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040217 Description of problem: After a kickstart install, firstboot prints on the first boot: Firstboot has already been run once on this system. In order to run firstboot from the command line, run the following commands: 1) rm /etc/sysconfig/firstboot 2) /usr/sbin/firstboot In order to run firstboot during system bootup, run the following commands: 1) rm /etc/sysconfig/firstboot 2) chkconfig --level 5 firstboot on 3) reboot [ OK ] Since this is right before rhgb completes, it's very difficult to tell what the message says; I was worried it was some serious error message the first few boots. Then, when I finally managed to read it by booting without rhgb, I realized it was a lie, since I'd never run firstboot on that system, as it doesn't run with kickstart installs. I understand the point of the message, but it's not a good idea to print such a long message in every boot other than the first. I'd much prefer firstboot to be silent during boot. Can it perhaps test $2 = boot or something like that, like some network start scripts do? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firstboot-1.3.5-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Do a kickstart install 2.Watch rhgb during the boot Actual Results: rhgb always switches to detail mode for me (I'm not sure that's by design), so I always see this ugly message. Expected Results: I'd rather not. Additional info:
