From http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-commit/2010-08/msg00567.html I see that indeed there have been changes made to /sbin/blogd and /sbin/blogger. Could
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642289 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642289#c0 Summary: System does not boot correctly with sysvinit-tools-2.88-15.1.x86_64.rpm or newer (blogd issue) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: vlukas@gmx.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.5; Linux) KHTML/4.5.1 (like Gecko) SUSE My system is configured to offer a graphical login screen (kdm) on startup. After updating to a recent Factory version of Opensuse the boot process does not continue until reaching graphical login. Instead a login prompt is offered. The issue does not end there: The system also failed to load the German keyboard mapping (can be restored manually). When starting KDE manually there are error messages not shown hitherto (e.g. there is a message that sound devices could not be found). After reinstalling some older packages I found that the package sysvinit-tools-2.88-15.1.x86_64.rpm is the culprit: When I downgrade it to version sysvinit-tools-2.88-14.1.x86_64.rpm everything works normally. I tried to narrow the possible origin of the problems down. To that end, I extracted the binaries from the newer sysvinit-tools and installed them one by one. I found that having /sbin/blogger and /sbin/blogd from the newer sysvinit-tools suffices to reproduce the problem. All other binaries can remain from the older version. I also went the reverse way. I reinstalled sysvinit-tools-2.88-15.1.x86_64.rpm (i.e. the newer version). I found that for the problem to go away it is enough to replace just /sbin/blogd and /sbin/blogger with the older version. The problem does also happen with sysvinit-tools-2.88-16.1.x86_64.rpm. these be the origin of the problems? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.
