 Posted: Tue Jun 29, 2004 10:49 pm Post subject: RC-UPDATE caused unwanted changes |
 |
|
Hello,
I recenlty ran my emerge -u world and after went to update my config files, instead of running etc-update, i accidentally ran rc-update as the true nib nub i am.
Now on every boot i get an error saying
| Code: | | /sbin/rc error on line 357: start: command not found |
and then the next line my localmount fails. I'm not sure what went wrong as I didn't add any startup scripts before i ran rc-update. Everything seems to work fine still however this error is annoying and it seems as if localmount is an important script that should be executing. I do not know where to start to fix this. I'm thinking i'll be asked for the line 357 from my /sbin/rc.......
When shutting down after using my computer i get
| Code: | | localmount has sytax errors and will not be run |
any ideas ? |

running rc-update with no args only shows you the help messages. You didn't break anything by doing that. Run etc-update and go through that. After that, reboot and see how things look.

well I ran etc-update again and it didn't change anything still getting the error when booting. This is the section of the /sbin/rc that has the error...
| Code: | start_critical_service() {
(
local retval=
source "/etc/init.d/${x}" || eerror "Failed to source /etc/init.d/${x}"
retval=$?
[ "${retval}" -ne 0 ] && return "${retval}"
start || eerror "Failed to start /etc/init.d/${x}"
retval=$?
return "${retval}"
)
}
|
The line with start || eeror is the line that error message tells me on boot. Then my /etc/init.d/localmount says
for some reason on boot localmount will not start and then gives syntax errors on shutdown... i tried removing one of the (e)'s in line 357 from above but that totally halted boot so i put it back..... i'm lost... |

If that is truly all that is in your /etc/init.d/localmount, then that is your problem. My localmount file is 47 lines long, so I'll PM it to you.

well, /etc/init.d/localmount is part of the baselayout package, so try emerging that again.
| Code: |
mark@bodhi 102 $ equery belongs /etc/init.d/localmount
Searching for file '/etc/init.d/localmount' in *...
sys-apps/baselayout-1.9.4-r2 (/etc/init.d/localmount)
mark@bodhi 103 $
