I get the following errors when my computer is booting up.
| Code: | rc default logging started at Sat Dec 27 22:35:20 2014
dbus | * Starting D-BUS system messagebus ...
syslog-ng | * ERROR: syslog-ng needs service(s) networkmanager
cronie | * Starting cronie ...
cronie | * start-stop-daemon: /usr/sbin/crond died
cronie | * Failed to start cronie
[ !! ]
cronie | * ERROR: cronie failed to start
[ ok ]
wicd | * Starting wicd daemon ...
[ ok ]
netmount | * Mounting network filesystems ...
[ ok ]
xdm | * Setting up kdm ...
xdm | * start-stop-daemon: did not create a valid pid in `/run/kdm.pid'
xdm | * ERROR: could not start the Display Manager
[ ok ]
local | * Starting local
[ ok ]
rc default logging stopped at Sat Dec 27 22:35:25 2014 |
Other than these errors my computer is working just fine. I have been trying to figure out what is going on but have not been able to fix it. |

Okay, I don't know what I am doing wrong here but when I type that in I get:
| Code: | /etc/init.d/whofail start --debug
bash: /etc/init.d/whofail: No such file or directory |
Any idea why this is not working? |

Just wondering if anyone can tell me why | Code: | | /etc/init.d/whofail start --debug |
will not work and just says there is no directory. I have searched all over the forums and Internet and cannot find out what I am doing wrong. |

oh 
"whofail" is not a command, it mean you replace "whofail" with any init name that fail...
so, it mean if "cronie" fail, you can do | Code: | | /etc/init.d/cronie start --debug |
in order to have better idea of why it fail |

grrr krinn and his made-up terms -- @nobody, /etc/init.d/whofail.. ;-) You've got to tell people they're made up when you introduce them or use the known terms for this: 'foo' with bar, baz, quux if more are needed in same context.
I was wondering if there's some new initscript that runs a check. hehe |

Just goes to show you should be careful what you tell a noobie. I am just dumb enough to do exactly what you tell me. 
Thanks for the clarification. I will run it and see what is going on. |
