Some YDL 5.0 problems

[jathan_nj]

Total linux newbie here but I'm trying.. I'm having a couple of problems with YDL 5.0. When you install YDL 5.0 and reboot, you always get the following error:

/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: Line 240 -e: Command not found

This happens even if you don't install any additional apps. The message appears just after you see the "Starting udev" message during bootup.

I'm having problems installing a driver for a USB capture device and while the device is listed on the usb bus (using lsusb), the test program is giving me an error saying the driver does not appear to be loaded. I know that udev is responsible for this which is why I suspect this may be related to the error. Anyone else get this message and does anyone know the cause/fix for it?

Also, no matter what I do when I log in, when I try to log out I always get this error:

Logout is taking too long. Some applications refuse to close. Do you want to finish the logout anyway without closing these applications first?


This happens all the time even if you log in immediately after a fresh install, do nothing and then log out. Again, anyone else get this message and does anyone know the cause/fix for it?

Yes I see this too when I shut down.

/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: Line 240 -e: Command not found

Ok sence I'm a newbie to linux YDL. You are not being clear and assuming I know what you are talking about. My self or maybe all of us posting about this need or may need very detailed instructions on how to get what you are asking. I for sure do and would like to know how.Thanks.

[kamika]

i assume, that the file we are talking about exists on the system.

so you can use a command like less or more to show the file in the shell, or use a text editor (whichever you favor) to view the file.

e.g.

Code: Select all

vim /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

the area around line 240 is especially interesting. so go to the specific line and use cut n past do paste e.g. lines 200-280 here. (or the whole file if you prefer)

clear enough? if not, keep asking.

hope I could help.

Here is the fix for the boot up error. Still no fix on the log out hanging for a non-root user.

The lines:

> if grep PS3 /proc/cpuinfo &> /dev/null && ! -e
> /etc/sysconfig/firstboot; then

are missing brackets (see man test):

It should look like:

if grep PS3 /proc/cpuinfo &> /dev/null && [ ! -e
/etc/sysconfig/firstboot ]; then

It also needs to all be on one line as above, or if split on two lines,
the newline on the first line needs to also be escaped as follows:

if grep PS3 /proc/cpuinfo &> /dev/null && [ ! -e \
/etc/sysconfig/firstboot ]; then

Note the spaces around the brackets are also important.

very nice, thanks for the help.
