a couple of harmless warnings on upgrade

Hiho.

I'm sure you guys configure GRUB so you may not have seen these. I have a single boot system where I never even see the grub menu so that might have something to do with it. Anyway when I update (apt full-upgrade) I get a couple of warnings that imply that the BL installation is a little behind the curve:

Setting up grub-common (2.02-2ubuntu8.13) ...
update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults
Setting up chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra (75.0.3770.142-0ubuntu0.18.04.1) ...

There's another one, also grub, but I didn't get a chance to copy it. It had to do with "non-zero timeout" when some timeout ENV-variable was set. They're harmless, of course, but just in case you hadn't seen it (Dev's) there it is.

Of course, I have saw those warnings. That stuff comes from ubuntu packages and little to do with Bodhi. I am not taking the time to track down the source of such warnings and repackaging or patching apps and packages I don't maintain. Not unless we are talking about an actual error that causes something to not work right. For the record I get the same grub warnings in my lubuntu test vms.

have seen that warning, update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults, on lubuntu, mint and bodhi. hasn't ever caused an issue, so never pursued it.

You can look at those with

Code:

journalctl -b

... pursuing every warning you see in there (a LOT probably; Linux is chatty) should indeed be reserved for the mother distro's devs, or the software developers themselves.

unless it breaks your system - don't worry about it.
