 |
|
I was going along fine and messing with things for a couple of days. I decided to clean my install up and was messing with portage. I ran:
| Quote: |
#emerge --depclean -p
|
and looked at about ten files that didn't seem important
then I ran:
| Quote: |
#emerge --depclean
|
and then things went downhill.
Now, rebooted and used the live cd. When I chroot into gentoo I can't even do an 'ls' without an error.
Here's a sample of what I get:
| Quote: | cdimage / # source /etc/profile
bash: /usr/bin/whoami: No such file or directory
bash: [: =: unary operator expected
root@cdimage / # emerge
bash: /usr/bin/emerge: /usr/bin/env: bad interpreter: No such file or di
root@cdimage / # bash: /usr/bin/whoami: No such file or directory
bash: bash:: command not found
root@cdimage / # bash: [: =: unary operator expected
bash: bash:: command not found
root@cdimage / # |
Where do I start? |

| I don't know if one of the unmerged libs will make problems, but the actual suicide-unmerge was 'emerge unmerge coreutils'. coreutils includes chmod, cp, dir, whoami etc. and is needed for sure. try to get it out of stage-xy from your install cd. |

Thank you Earthwings.
I untarred a stage1 over my install. It's messed me up pretty good, though. I couldn't get coreutils out of the livecd (didn't know how anyway).
So now I can't su

and for some reason when I start kdm and then log in it doesn't go to kde it goes to an x terminal and I have to startkde. |

all right, I've been pumping away at this for a while now and I'm almost back on track.
The main difficulties I'm having are:
1) My /etc/conf.d/net is not what it should be (that is, it seems to be the original one from the livecd). How do I regenerate it?
2) When I login I type 'kdm' then I have to login from there. After I login from kdm I get an x terminal and have to type 'startkde'. Evidently the path where I choose my window managers is messed up. I'm running kde 3.1.3 so if anyone can help me here I would appreciate it and be back on my merry way. |

Any luck with this mope? I am now stuck in the same situation due to someone else doing a depclean on a remote box. I can still ssh but can't ls or emerge anything once there. I'm too worried to reboot it still...
Let me know how you are doing and what is working. |

Actually someone ssh'd into my box and patched things up. I eventually reemerged kde-base to fix the last two issues. Everything seems to work now. It was a pretty long process.
He actually removed coreutils and emerged fileutils (I think). I can't remeber all the steps, I'm sorry. After I was able to emerge again I did an #emerge world -e and everything seeems to be going along nicely now. sorry I can't be of much more help. |

It was probably a good thing I didn't reboot. I was able to get things working again after the following steps:
The initial problem was caused by doing "emerge depclean" without thoroughly checking what was being removed. Apparently the coreutils package was included in that and started all the problems. Since I couldn't "ls" or "ftp" or "emerge" I figured things were hopeless - even worse is that I had no physical access to the box. Luckily sshd was still running and working!
First step was to "wget" (ftp wouldn't work either, which was stumping me for a while) a stage2 tarball and untar it at / . This got me back to being able to "ls" and "emerge". At this point it is important to NOT to reboot or logout until after editing /etc/fstab and recreating a root password.
After that I did an "emerge -e system" and things seem fine so far. |
