Hi there, i have this big big problem: i tried to emerge openoffice(bin) and i have left without space in the root partition (openoffice installs in /opt which is in the / partition in my case) so emerge stops with an error. Then i rebooted a cupple of times and everything was ok (except that any partition could be mounted, only /boot....rare because kde was "seeing" all partitions (i have: / /var /usr /home /boot)). But then i removed openoffice from /opt (manually, because emerge couldn't install it completly because of the space), so the space-problem get resolved (apparently), i rebooted and get with this mesagge (aprox. 20 times contiguous): "/sbin/rc: line 831: schedule_service_startup: command not found /sbin/rc: line 831: service_started: command not found" Then i get prompted to login but it doesen't work at all ("login incorrect..") This error reproduces every time i try to start the system (so i can't start). what's up here? and the more important: is there a way to save the system or i have to install everything from scratch?! (have it sense to "re"tar the stage?) any suggestions welcome...thanks
I don't see any reason linking openoffice to your problem, if you have space left on all partitions, it shouldn't be a problem (but it is strongly adviced to NOT remove stuff by hand). Anyway, I've been running lots of *ix flavors around for the last 5 years and I NEVER had to reinstall a whole system from scratch because of a software problem (that's one of the main reasons I do not use Windows except to play games). You can try using the LiveCD to chroot into your system, this way you "bypass" any password problem. You can then reset your password (and of all your users) and maybe do an "emerge -uD world", or etc-update. -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
