* Setting user font... Format: 3 Format: 3 Format: 3 Format: 3 Format: 3 Format: 3 Format: 3 Format: 3 Format: 3 Format: 3 [ ok ] * Loading key mappings... it's obviously something in the for loop with the /usr/bin/consolechars call since it prints 10 times. I haven't changed rc.conf from the default for the consolefont stuff. this is baselayout-1.8.6.4-r1, gawk-3.1.1-r2, console-tools-0.3.2 speaking of gawk...the update to -r2 fixed all my other junk messages that I was going to make a report about. like: modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/lp3 modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/par3 modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/printers/3 modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/ttyS2 modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/ttyS3 ...etc. for about 50 more Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.reboot Actual Results: junk messages Expected Results: nice clean sexy boot ;-)
Can you try to pinpoint what is doing that ? I cannot recreate it here ... Thanks.
# /usr/bin/consolechars -f "default8x16" --tty=/dev/vc/1 >/dev/null Format: 3 I tried it with a few different fonts and they all print the Format: 3. I remerged console-tools and kbd, but that didn't help. sending stderr to /dev/null gets rid of the output. By default console-tools isn't installed so the init script uses setfont and this output isn't generated.
Ah, ok. So just piping stdout to /dev/null will get rid of it ?
redirecting stdout still gives the output. redirecting stderr gets rid of it. Kinda strange since its not really a error message, but whatever.
Fixed on cvs, will be in baselayout-1.8.6.5 shortly.
I got baselayout-1.8.6.5 and now the consolefont script fails on boot. It's because on line 38 the '?' after "retval=$" was removed.
Thanks, type-o. Its fixed on CVS, will be in next baselayout ...
