Topic: new udevd message at boot [solved]

It flashes by too quick for me to read anything, but I've managed to catch a glimpse of udevd and GOTO.  Am I seeing an error message there, and is this something we need to be concerned about?

while ( ! ( succeed = try() ) );

Re: new udevd message at boot [solved]

Boot log, sys log ? What does it show ?

Ha ezt el tudod olvasni, biztosan nem vagy rövidlátó.

Re: new udevd message at boot [solved]

Ya know, I've never figured where to find the boot logs in Debian. hmm  But this message is in the part that flashes past at 24x80 characters before the rest of the startup messages scroll past.

If it makes a difference, this is the 32-bit i686 version of Statler a2 running on a netbook with an early single-core Diamondville CPU and Connestoga chipset.  I had noticed the message a couple of weeks ago in Sid, but it just started showing up in Squeeze as well.

EDIT:  I haven't noticed any new untoward behavior within Statler, so I'm not sure if this is even a bug, or if this is just some additional boot feedback that a slower machine would let me read...when I first installed Statler a2, there was only one line, then it grew to about four...now it's nearly a full screen...still negligible impact on boot time.

OK, changed bootlogd to record boot log...only shows what I see on Getty1, not the preceding messages.  Trying to find out how to get udevd to log messages...

while ( ! ( succeed = try() ) );

Re: new udevd message at boot [solved]

Did you look at /var/log/syslog?

I had this error
udevd[369]: GOTO 'acl_end' has no matching label in: '/lib/udev/rules.d/70-acl.rules'

I couldn't find a solution, so i had a look in the file and noticed a missing " at the last line. Just put it there and the error is gone. System is working fine.

Yeah, just noticed a similar message on my Statler partition (amd64). Not 100% sure if it's the exact same one as Tunafish pointed out, since the message flashed by way too fast, but adding the missing " to the last line in /lib/udev/rules.d/70-acl.rules did get rid of it.

Much thanks, Tunafish.

Re: new udevd message at boot [solved]

It's the same error reported here in the aptosid forum.  I Especially like arwa's post:
""but thankfully it has no noticeable
side effects.""

Same cause pointed out by tunafish; same solution; obviously an upstream thing.

while ( ! ( succeed = try() ) );

Re: new udevd message at boot [solved]

yes, thanks for this.
I saw it during boot after running apt-get update and upgrade a couple of days ago (upgrade crashed during installing initram building.
Tried running upgrade again, which recommended running "dpkg --configure -a" which seemed to fix everything except for that  boot up message.

will try the extra " and report back

This seems to have been fixed.    smile 

I've been using a jigdo-downloaded netinstall of Debian for several weeks.  When I reinstalled CrunchBang 10 two days ago the missing punctuation had been corrected.
