Description Andrew McNabb 2011-05-26 02:14:01 UTC

Description of problem:

If I do "systemctl disable firstboot-graphical.service" and reboot, the system becomes completely unresponsive at boot.  It appears that systemd is trying to start firstboot-text.service but isn't killing plymouth.  I see a glimpse of the text-based firstboot service, and then the system gets stuck on a blue screen with the Fedora logo in the middle.

If I reboot and start hitting keys when the text-based firstboot screen appears, I can get it to stay on the firstboot screen and I can use the tab and arrow keys to move around, but it doesn't respond to the enter key.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

systemd-26-1.fc15.i686
firstboot-1.119-1.fc15.i686

How reproducible:

I can reboot many times in a row, and the system is frozen every time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. install a new system
2. when firstboot appears, hit ctrl-alt-backspace to quit it
3. systemctl disable firstboot-graphical.service
4. reboot

  
Actual results:

The system hangs on a blue screen with Fedora logo.


Expected results:

The system should either boot normally or go to a working text-based firstboot screen.

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

This seems to have been quietly fixed at some point.
