init.d: log_warning_msg "PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions" -- missing a newline at the end

[Martin-Éric Racine]

The init script's log_warning_msg "PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions" is missing a newline at the end, which makes the init script messages of the next daemon to be started start being written in mid-line, rather than at the start of the next line.

Either that, or whatever LSB init function that processes log_warning_msg messages from init scripts doesn't return the cursor to the start of the next line.

Is any information missing before this bug can be acted upon and resolved?

[David Henningsson (diwic)]

a quick "grep -r log_warning_msg /etc/init.d/*" shows that none of the log_warning_msgs have newlines, so this is probably not a PulseAudio problem.

I'm making a wild guess and reassigning.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

In what context does this message appear? i.e., is this at boot time or interactive, what is the kernel commandline, what plymouth theme do you have configured?

This is likely to be a terminal configuration issue rather than with the implementation of log_warning_msg, since the latter *does* output a newline.

[Martin-Éric Racine (q-funk)]

During boot time.

[Martin-Éric Racine (q-funk)]

Basically, you see it during boot if PulseAudio is configured for per-session use (as per default), whenever Plymouth is disabled. You'll also see whenever the kernel switches virtual console, such as when X is shut down prior to rebooting a host.

[Martin-Éric Racine (q-funk)]

It looks like this.
