Problem with Nvidia propriety drivers and ttys

I have the nvidia propriety drivers installed and when i open a new virtual console with ctrl-alt-F1-12 all the consoles say:

Waiting for udev events to be processed    [BUSY]

Does anyone know how to make the consoles work as they should?

Re: Problem with Nvidia propriety drivers and ttys

This message also prints when you first start up right? Does it finish and go away then? It seems like this is a bug in initscripts. You can try reporting it, but the devs might just say to use systemd.

Great things come in tar.xz packages.

Re: Problem with Nvidia propriety drivers and ttys

Hi,
F8-F12 ? as far as i know its not set up by default, did you modified the init? Can you post some startup logs + what's in the /etc/inittab?
PS: I have nvidia proprietary driver, but i have never seen this problem.

Yes it's there when I start up as well as when i shut down. It never goes away I'm booted into XFCE as usual, but the message remain in all my terminals.

F8-F12 was not set by me. I wasn't aware that wasn't default behaviour. Heres my inittab and my boot log. Should I post some other log?
