On the line for runlevel 4 in your /etc/inittab, did you change "default" to "nogui"? 2. You should not be using init to switch runlevels. Instead, use "rc nogui" and "rc default". Let me know if this works for you. (In reply to comment #1) > 1. On the line for runlevel 4 in your /etc/inittab, did you change "default" > to "nogui"? > > 2.

Of course I did it. :) Quote from inittab: l4:4:wait:/sbin/rc nogui 2. But there is nothing in documentation about mandatory using '/sbin/rc' for switching runlevels. Also, init perfectly copes with this task previously, why now can not? About question itself: 'rc nogui' doesn't work quite right. Issuing 'rc nogui' from single runlevel first time fails with message "rc: failed to create stopping dir '/lib64/rc/init.d/rc.stopping': file exists". Issuing second time works properly and switches to nogui runlevel. But, if I use '/sbin/rc' for switching runlevels at least once, issuing 'reboot' command produces warning "Could not determine runlevel - doing soft reboot'. There is someting wrong in openrc when using it for change runlevels... Reproduced in my box. But cannot reproduce in a lxc container. Maybe it is related to some scripts with "keyword -lxc"? Hmm... I can eliminate this error with my box now, some conditions should be met to reproduce this. 1. rc single executed by a normal user via sudo, and the tty gets kill during switching 2. kernel do not have cgroups support. go on to look for the root cause correction: no relation with kernel cgroups. This problem seems to be triggered when the "rc single" issuing shell (and tty) is killed during the runlevel transition, and leaves the rest in a intermediate state. The remaining rc.stopping confuses the next runlevel transition. Alexey, is the situation on your side the same? Few days ago I update openrc to 11.0.5. In this version all works fine with runlevel switching, regardless of method (init <numeric runlevel> or rc <name runlevel>). So, works for me. Thanks! :) |
