 Posted: Thu Apr 29, 2004 12:47 am Post subject: How to stop system services |
 |
|
Alright.. so..my system is unaccessible. Gentoo is hanging at "Starting eth0", and my network connection is down. I can't hit control-Z, control-C, etc. to stop it. Any way to stop services or make them NOT start automatically (without using rc-update, as I don't have access to the system, I guess)

you can stop net0 from starting by removing it from all the runlevels, check with
rc-update show
and remove everything with net.eth0 in it, probably
rc-update del net.eth0 default

I thought about that, but I don't have a liveCD for more than a year and a half, and I don't have another computer with a burner. So yeah, that's sorta my last resort. If nothing else, I can get someone to burn it. But I'd like a quicker way if possible

Yeah, but the problem is that I can't get into it to do that

This person cannot get to a shell in order to run rc-update:

Only way I can think of getting to a shell is by using the LiveCD...

| Well, not sure if theis works with gentoo but with most distros you can append "single" or 1 to the boot command line and boot into single user mode. Of course if you are using lilo(as opposed to grub) and don't already have that setup as a menu entry then you're still stuck. If you have a floppy drive download tomsrtbt and boot with it. |

Yup.. .. I didn't wait long enough, and it did time out.. thanks for all your help, my comp is back running fine.

If you are annoyed with the timeout, you can change the amount of time given for dhcpcd to make a connection.
I have the following in /etc/conf.d/net:
| Code: | iface_eth0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_eth0="-N -t 10" |
"-t 10" specifies a 10 second timeout period. The default for dhcpcd is 60 seconds.
