Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

fpdd may core dump when the system is going down. This is because the LED manager in the daemon cannot use the hal library to talk to other daemons.

Impact

This is a rarely occurring issue. When it happens, fpdd creates a core file. The LEDs may not reflect the status right before the shutdown. But the LEDs are reinitialized after the bootup.

Conditions

The problem happens when the system is going down.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

fpdd no longer core dumps when the system is going down.
