Actual results: user gets annoyed and anxious Expected results: startup messages shouldn't look like errors Additional info: Files patched: /usr/share/man/man5/events.5.gz /usr/share/man/man8/initctl.8.gz /etc/rc.d/init.d/NetworkManager /etc/event.d/rc1 /etc/event.d/rcS /etc/event.d/rcS-sulogin /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit /etc/rc.d/init.d/single They belong to packages: event-compat-sysv-0.3.9-13.fc9.noarch initscripts-8.70-1.i386 NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.9.2.svn3566.fc9.i386 upstart-0.3.9-17.fc9.i386 Patch will be attached. Bug will be cloned and attached to those four components. -- Additional comment from archimerged on 2008-04-24 11:03 EST -- Created an attachment (id=303642) Patch which fixes those annoyances. The change to /etc/rc.d/init.d/single makes it completely dispensable. All it does is clear the screen. /etc/event.d/rc1 now does the telinit S. But you wouldn't want this version of init.d/single installed without the matching event.d/rc1.
As stated in the event-compat-sysv bug, I'd rather just not install S99single when using upstart. For the echos, they are correct as-is - if you add '-n', they'll be off if the encryption or fsck actually does something.
