Description Vadym Chepkov 2009-06-15 08:55:50 EDT

Some kernel process during startup executes scripts in /etc/profile.d/
I usually have a separate /usr file system, so I noticed failure messages after 'audit policy loaded' and before 'Welcome to Fedora'. 
I believe /etc/profile.d/ scripts should be executed only by login sessions

Comment 1 Chuck Ebbert 2009-06-16 01:29:03 EDT

It's probably an upstart problem...

Comment 2 Casey Dahlin 2009-06-16 09:56:32 EDT

More likely one of the init scripts. Upstart doesn't execute any raw script files.

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2009-06-16 12:01:38 EDT

What are the errors you see?

Comment 4 Vadym Chepkov 2009-06-16 13:02:51 EDT

I see lot's of errors because /usr is not mounted yet, but that not the major concern, I don't think the scripts in /etc/profile.d/ should be executed at all during startup. 
I don't think initscrits are to blame though, as I indicated it happens way before, before 'Welcome to Fedora appears".

Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2009-06-16 13:09:26 EDT

Thank you, but *what are the errors* that you see? Specifics are nice.

Comment 6 Vadym Chepkov 2009-06-16 14:02:47 EDT

Sorry, I thought this is something easily reproducible. 

I can't grab output without serial console attached and it scrolls very fast, but it something like this:

/etc/profile.d/lang.sh setlocale LC_COLLATE can not change locale, files not found

lots of similar, but I take it back, it seem only this one script, lang.sh, gets executed, not all files from profile.d

Thanks!
