Certmonger hanging at boot
Last modified: 2013-03-13 03:06:54 EDT
Created attachment 672437 [details] Image of issue Description of problem: -I am currently running a lab of three computers which are connected to a network switch while not actually connected to the internet. The server computer is lab A and there are two connected computers, B and C. Lab A was configured on its own and the configuring of B and C are identical. Lab C is able to fully boot while lab B hangs at the Starting Certmonger: [ OK ]. I have searched online for days now with no luck of fixing this error. I have tried stopping certmonger and then rhsmcertd hangs, stopping that causes atd to hang. I have tried this process to crond, causing abrt daemon to hang. I shouldn't have to disable this or anything since lab C starts normally. Would my xorg.conf effect the way certmonger works as that is the only file that I have been working on from when it worked, but I had restored my previous xorg.conf.backup but that did not help either. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Extremely Steps to Reproduce: 1. Turn on computer 2. Reboot computer 3. Repeat forever Actual results: Starting Certmonger [OK] _ Expected results: Full boot Additional info:
Please disregard and delete, I was able to restore to a previous point and this issue is no longer reproducible.
Per comment above closing.
I had exactly this problem: Turned out that the problem was caused because the virtualbox guest software did not automatically upgrade.... i.e. /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso (4.2.8.r83876) Basically xwindows wasn't starting. How I found the problem: When the Grub menu appears, press 'a', then remove "quiet" and add 3. log in as root and run startx, eg # startx X will fail to start. You will find the actual error in /var/log/Xorg.o.log To fix, get the current verion of VBoxGuestAdditions.iso (4.2.8.r83876) Mount it and run "VBoxLinuxAdditions.run" e.g. # mkdir /media/VBoxGuestAdditions # mount -o loop /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso /media/VBoxGuestAdditions # /media/VBoxGuestAdditions/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing VirtualBox 4.2.8 Guest Additions for Linux............ VirtualBox Guest Additions installer Copying additional installer modules ... Installing additional modules ... Saving modules configuration ... Removing existing VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules [ OK ] Removing existing VirtualBox non-DKMS kernel modules [ OK ] etc... Then shutdown and reboot... (hopefully) your system will now work... Mine did.
