bootchard not working

That said, running /sbin/bootchartd init in the console gave me this:

cpf / $  sudo /sbin/bootchartd init
Starting bootchart logging
cpf / $  /sbin/bootchartd: line 124: [: 3
5: integer expression expected

So, I'm a noob with bash scripts, these are the related lnes:

123|   grep -q early_login /proc/cmdline && early_login="yes"
124|      if [ "$runlevel" -eq "2" -o "$runlevel" -eq "3" -o "$early_login" = "yes" ]; then
125|          exit_proc="mingetty agetty rungetty getty"
126|      fi

<< The second line is line 124

Is this normal? Or could this be the reason why after booting with

# (2) Arch Linux - bootchart
title Arch Linux BOOTCHART
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro vga=773 init=/sbin/bootchartd
initrd /kernel26.img

didn't give me any data for bootchart-render to use?

Thanks in advance...

Re: bootchard not working

I had the same problem, take a look at this thread
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=49252

note that this

/sbin/bootchartd: line 124: [: 3
5: integer expression expected

is not a problem

Re: bootchard not working

i notice that bootchart-render will work only if some graphical login will start.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: bootchard not working

I have found a patch for

/sbin/bootchartd: line 124: [: 3
5: integer expression expected

There is a commented #id:5:initdefault: in the default /etc/inittab file which is matched by sed together with the apropriate initdefault line. All you have to do is change line 117 in /sbin/bootchartd from

local runlevel=$( sed -n 's/.*:\(.*\):initdefault:.*/\1/gp' /etc/inittab )

to

local runlevel=$( sed -n 's/^id:\([0-9]\):initdefault:.*/\1/gp' /etc/inittab )

cheers
