Description Rui Matos 2012-10-27 13:45:44 UTC

dracut logs the following:

Oct 27 14:35:58 localhost dracut-cmdline[96]: dracut-18 (Spherical Cow) dracut-024-5.git20121019.fc18
...
Oct 27 14:35:58 localhost dracut-cmdline[96]: /etc/locale.conf: line 1: locale.LANG=en_US.UTF-8: command not found


$ cat /etc/locale.conf
LANG=en_US.utf8

Comment 1 Sergio 2012-11-09 16:08:47 UTC

That happens when there's a kernel command-line for the locale ('locale.LANG=' or even the old 'LANG=') regardless of /etc/locale.conf existing or not.

Comment 2 Brandon 2012-11-27 17:57:28 UTC

Is there a workaround for this? Seems to delay the time it takes to get to gdm significantly.

Comment 3 Brandon 2012-11-27 17:58:46 UTC

Also I'm getting this problem and there is no LANG= or locale.LANG= anywhere in my /etc/default/grub. Fresh install of fedora 18 beta with all updates. Problem started only after running updates.

Comment 4 Brandon 2012-11-27 18:40:18 UTC

Worked around by regenerating grub manually. boot speed issue remains but is totally different bug

Comment 5 Harald Hoyer 2012-11-28 11:16:43 UTC

That's a dracut bug, which will be fixed soon.

Comment 6 Tim Flink 2012-11-30 18:24:07 UTC

It sounds like the effect of this is extra errors in kmsg on boot and a slight slowdown of the boot process.

If I'm understanding correctly, I'm -1 blocker on this. It doesn't clearly hit any of the F18 release criteria and could be fixed post-release as an update.

Comment 7 Adam Williamson 2012-12-01 08:17:55 UTC

the slowdown is nothing to do with this bug, it was a GDM bug. -1 blocker, there is no indication this has any blocker consequences.

Comment 8 Jaroslav Reznik 2012-12-03 14:14:38 UTC

As it seems to be unrelated to GDM slowdown and I don't see any other issues reported, I'm -1 blocker too. In case it causes any other difficulties, please comment it. Still it would be great to have a fix, but it's "just" a bug.

Comment 9 Tim Flink 2012-12-04 20:49:23 UTC

That makes for -3 blocker, moving to rejected.
