Help! It seems that I really screwed my system up when I allowed dselect to update packages on my potato system.
I am having a problem with segmentation faults for the following commands: su login passwd Because of this, I am not able to login any other processes (virtual terminals) nor will my xserver run... Currently the only access I have to this system is via the single shell I had logged in to do the 'dselect' and samba services are still working so my PC look in my home directory. I am still able to use dselect to load packages from the internet. In my work with HP-UX, segmentation faults were generally caused by incompatible binaries trying to execute on the system. Is this the case with linux? How do I tell which version I should have? If these files really need to be updated how do I go about this? I was playing around with telling dselect to remove passwd, but it wanted to remove a whole bunch of stuff and it said this was not a good idea. I am totally stuck and as murphy would have it, I have some database work that needs the postgresql on the linux system... Of course, postgresql will not start up because of the corrupt 'su' command. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Doug
