 Posted: Thu Nov 25, 2004 10:19 am Post subject: Boot, Login and Emerge Problems |
 |
|
I have been working on a gentoo install at college and left the system emerging xorg on tuesday.. i'm fairlly sure xorg finished compiling so i dont think that has anything to do with the problems. What i do think is that some other student has messed about with things and deleted various files etc.. who knows why??? but anyway here are the problems in order :p
Whilst Booting 1:
| Code: |
* Caching service dependencies... [ OK ]
* Setting system clock to hardware clock [UTC]... [ OK ]
FATAL: Failed to open config file /etc/modprobe.devfs: No such file or directory
FATAL: Failed to open config file /etc/modprobe.devfs: No such file or directory
FATAL: Failed to open config file /etc/modprobe.devfs: No such file or directory
FATAL: Failed to open config file /etc/modprobe.devfs: No such file or directory
* Configuring kernel parameters... [ OK ]
* Updating environment... [ OK ]
|
Whilst Booting 2:
| Code: |
* Initializing random number generator... [ OK ]
INIT: Entering runlevel: 3
* WARNING: /etc/init.d/syslog-ng missing: skipping
* WARNING: /etc/init.d/vixie-cron missing: skipping
* Brining eth0 up (192.168.0.2)... [ OK ]
|
The above problem will be fixed if i could re-emerge the packages, but i am unable to use emerge 
Whilst Loging On:
| Code: |
gentoo login: root
PAM-security[4520]: Couldn't open /etc/security
Password:
login[4520]: cannot open login definitions /etc/login.defs [No such file or directory]
login[4520]: PAM pam_putenv: delete non-existent entry: REMOTEHOST
PAM-env[4520]: Unknown PAM_ITEM: <XAUTHORITY>
login[4520]: PAM pam_putenv: delete non-existent entry: XAUTHORITY
login(pam_unix)[4520]: session opened for user root by (uid=0)
login[4520]: cannot open login definitions /etc/login.defs [No such file or directory]
login[4520]: cannot open login definitions /etc/login.defs [No such file or directory]

-- root[4520]: cannot open login definitions /etc/login.defs [No such file or directory]
gentoo root # _

Whislt Trying to emerge:
| Code: |
gentoo / # emerge syslog-ng
/usr/bin/python: relocation error: /lib/libpthread.so.0: symbol __libc_fork, version GLIBC_2.1.2 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
gentoo / # _
|
When i try to 'env-update' i get the same error as above..
I'm open to any ideas.. i think if i'm able to fix the emerge problem then the others would be easier to fix.. Thanks in advance for any ideas given..
