Description of problem: I see this assertion when booting Fedora 13 in my virtual machine (virt-manager, libvirt, KVM, x86_64): plymouthd: ply-event-loop.c:707: ply_event_loop_watch_fd: Assertion `fd >= 0' failed. It does not cause any problems, it's just printed on boot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): plymouth-scripts-0.8.1-1.fc13.x86_64 plymouth-core-libs-0.8.1-1.fc13.x86_64 plymouth-system-theme-0.8.1-1.fc13.x86_64 plymouth-gdm-hooks-0.8.1-1.fc13.x86_64 plymouth-graphics-libs-0.8.1-1.fc13.x86_64 plymouth-plugin-two-step-0.8.1-1.fc13.x86_64 plymouth-0.8.1-1.fc13.x86_64 plymouth-plugin-label-0.8.1-1.fc13.x86_64 plymouth-utils-0.8.1-1.fc13.x86_64 plymouth-theme-charge-0.8.1-1.fc13.x86_64 How reproducible: always
I'm was just narrowing this down and it looks like it happens when using the details theme (the graphical themes are fine) which talks to the terminal. The failed assert is when attaching to the keyboard input on tty1 but the fd is -1.
I see this on my laptop, but am also having X/KMS issues so that X doesn't come up without an xorg.conf file.
Thanks for fixing this charlie. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 578633 ***
