Bug 300078 – media-tv/gentoo-vdr-scripts-0.4.6: shutdown fails

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Kai Krakow 2010-01-07 20:23:32 UTC]

vdr cannot shut the system down after waken up by a timer. I'm attaching the debug log. The script fails with a syntax error, probably because a variable is not set properly. It took me some time to find this as vdr logs that it cannot shutdown because I need to configure sudo correctly and need to run "emerge --config" to do that. I tried and of couse everything is already correctly setup in sudo.

Reproducible: Always

Thanks for your efforts. I found a workaround: When this behaviour happened, I had to delete all status files and reboot and it then worked. There seems to be one file which the shutdown script expects a timestamp inside but sometimes, however, this file is 0-sized and the script choked on that. Sorry for not reporting this.

I'm not sure how to force reproduction of this behavior but I'll try by truncating the involved shutdown state file.
