Each service runs twice while booting Fedora 25

Question

I've just installed Fedora 25. However, while starting up the computer, each initialization service runs twice (see the attached picture), or are shown twice on the screen. How can I fix that? (I'm using ASUS N56V Laptop with Nvidia Geforce GT 650M)

Here is the result of sudo systemctl list-units --type=service :

can you post your result from sudo systemctl list-units --type=service ?(add this to your question) — Michael D., Jan 20 '17 at 12:55
Looks normal! My guess was that you have to remove duplicate entries manually. Check again for duplicate entries there sudo systemctl list-unit-files — Michael D., Jan 20 '17 at 13:16
Thanks. There is no any duplicate entry in the output of the command you gave. I'm sure my system try to run these services twice in the beginning, but I couldn't find any reason for this yet. I checked the rc.d files as well. No any duplicate files... — shelfDestruction, Jan 20 '17 at 13:24
OK. rc.d is the old SysVinit way to start services and systemd is the new. I'm not a Fedora user, but I guess you have them both activated, and that's why it's starting everything twice. Either get rid of sysVinit or systemd (I'd keep systemd which is the new linux and fedora 25 standard). — Michael D., Jan 20 '17 at 13:39
Fedora no idea! Debian: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/214155/completely-remove-remains-of-sysvinit — Michael D., Jan 20 '17 at 13:49
Check this answer, to figure out if it's actually true (having sysvinit and systemd) http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/196166/how-to-find-out-if-a-system-uses-sysv-upstart-or-systemd-initsystem — Michael D., Jan 20 '17 at 13:56
I deleted rc.d/init.d folder (and all related things) and reboot the computer. Nothing has changed. I think my problem is different. My distro is using systemd. — shelfDestruction, Jan 20 '17 at 14:07
Backup your data and reinstall Fedora 25 will certainly fix your problem. Sometimes this is the best choice when a distribution upgrade failed, or just wait for someone to answer your question here ... — Michael D., Jan 20 '17 at 14:22
The "you have both activated" theory is an interesting one but extremely unlikely. Fedora switched to systemd in Fedora 15, and there isn't an alternative init system available. systemd itself will handle old-style init scripts with its compatibility subsystem, but that wouldn't result in this behavior. — mattdm, Jan 20 '17 at 14:35
Can you run journalctl -b -perr to show error messages logged since boot? If that doesn't result in anything useful, maybe journalctl -b -pwarning? — mattdm, Jan 20 '17 at 14:37
I've added the result of the first command. Like the boot list, it also includes some duplicated errors... The output of the second command is quite long, no chance to paste it here :( — shelfDestruction, Jan 20 '17 at 15:00
if you run sudo systemd-analyze blame | sort -k2 you can actually see if services are started twice. If this is not the case, it might be printing it twice on boot for a unknown reason... — Michael D., Jan 20 '17 at 16:05
Can you look through the -pwarning output to see if anything seems... related or suspicious? — mattdm, Jan 20 '17 at 16:51
Same issue but I think it is just an issue with the boot screen (plymouth??) because in /var/log/messages, the messages are not duplicated. — WYSIWYG, Apr 17 '17 at 14:35

It happen to me on kernel 4.9.* with Fedora 25. my laptop with dual graphic card. I manage to solve the problem of "iccsense: Unknown sensor type 30, power reading disabled" (based on your log) by modified my grub:

$ sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Then add acpi_backlight=video inline with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX

Now we need to rebuild the GRUB2 config file. Just run sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg or if you have EFI feature with you computer, please run sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg command, make sure you know which command to execute.

and then reboot.

It doesn't work. But, I'm sure that this is a problem arising from dual graphic card any more. Thanks — shelfDestruction, Feb 15 '17 at 15:56
