Start, Restart Errors

[jonathan47]

I have Fedora 13 (Gnome), with current updates applied. Am using Nouveau with Nvidia card. I'd appreciate any help with either of the following issues.

When I boot into kernel 2.6.33.1-19, the start process often stalls (unless I use Esc to exit the Fedora boot splash).

After a successful boot, upon rebooting I see the message "error: unexpectedly disconnected from boot status daemon" when the system shuts down.

My .xsession-errors file shows the following:

Hi,

Seems a bunch of harmless warnings to me.

I reported those two messages against F12 in bug #554196 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=554196). It's known to upstream, and supposedly easy to fix. But I see it's still around in F13. :confused:

Hang during boot sounds like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577789 , which you got if you have an unfortunate combination of plymouth and gdm packages. Update to gdm-2.29.92-6.fc13 or later and you should be OK.

That update worked for me. I now get past the splash screen without using Esc. Thank you.
