[SOLVED] firstboot using up 98% of CPU after boot...

[simpleblue]

I just installed the latest iso of F15 and I've noticed that the firstboot process continues to remain on after the computer is fully booted up and connected to the net. It takes up about 98% of my CPU. I haven't been able to turn it off.

As well firstboot continues to come up no matter how many times I reset the computer. I tried updating with no avail.

Is there any way to turn firstboot off?

thanx

Firstboot is a service, you can disable it in system-config-services

Try

su - -c "sed -i 's/=.*/=NO/' /etc/sysconfig/firstboot"

Or you could just try:

chkconfig firstboot off

as root instead of editing files.

My previous post reports the actual correct content of the file that governs the behavior of firstboot after it has run once. So, no, the OP should edit the file first (in case, for any reason, its content differs from RUN_FIRSTBOOT=NO) and then try the other suggested solutions if that doesn't work

Which directory would I find this in?

Try
Code:
su - -c "sed -i 's/=.*/=NO/' /etc/sysconfig/firstboot"

It says 'no such file or directory'. I tried looking manually and could not find it.

Or you could just try:

chkconfig firstboot off

as root instead of editing files.

I tried this and the command seemed to go through but when restarted firstboot still appeared.



* EDIT *

I got it to work. I entered this command:


echo "RUN_FIRSTBOOT=NO" > /etc/sysconfig/firstboot

Thanks all!
