 |
|
For a couple of months now my consolefont init script has been failing to start with the error:
| Code: | garyslaptop ~ # rc
consolefont | * Setting console font [default8x16] ...
consolefont |setfont: default8x16: No such file or directory [ !! ]
consolefont | * ERROR: consolefont failed to start |
I added a line to the init script to print out the command that is failing and it is this:
setfont default8x16 -C /dev/tty1
However running that command manually (as root) succeeds. The file /usr/share/consolefonts/default8x16.psfu.gz exists.
Is anyone else having this problem? How do I fix it? |

Have you checked WHICH setfont is being run in the initscript and which is being run by root? The $PATH variable may differ.
I made a mistake and installed busybox's setfont in /sbin which overrode the /usr/bin version. The busybox version I compiled was broken.

| Code: | $ sudo /sbin/setfont default8x16 -C /dev/tty1
setfont: default8x16: No such file or directory
$ sudo /usr/bin/setfont default8x16 -C /dev/tty1 |
So the first one, busybox's version, fails. rc is calling that one because /sbin is in front of /usr/bin in root's $PATH
EDIT:
Actually, this lead to an interesting result:[

Why are there so many orphaned symblinks to applets of busybox?? I don't remember creating them. Wondering if it is safe to remove them?
