 |
|
Hi there.
I have two questions:
1. During month I have installed Gentoo on two PC's. One is ok and on another one suddenly I am not able to login. I do not why. During startup I nocited, that there is problem with xdm and mysql services. Chrooted into distro, removed booth services from startup, created new root account using 'passwd', but no success.
2. On the same PC is installed Sabayon. May I chroot safely from Sabayon into Gentoo or have tu use Live CD everytime?
Thanks

You probably forgot to run dispatch-conf or etc-update and now you have a stale config file. The cure should be to run one of these and update the config file.
EDIT: You can safely chroot from any linux environment.

| can you login as a user? i really wouldnt know where to begin on a problem like this. id probably try cycling kernels out, checking /etc/passwd to make sure the shells are correct, then replacing agetty. |

you cycle kernels by changing what kernel loads in grub or lilo or sys linux.... what ever boot loader you're using....
to change out agetty...
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Qingy
id start with working on kernels, then use the last option as absolute last ditch attempt at saving your gentoo box.
im just throwing out ideas, im not telling you to do anything by any means. |

None of these ideas sound that likely to fix his problem. Nothing so far suggests this is a kernel problem. A problem with getty is possible, but unlikely. Nothing posted so far seems to implicate that, either.
OP: please start from the beginning. You say you cannot login. What happens when you try? Are you unable to login on the console via agetty, unable to login to a graphical display manager, or both? I assume at least the former since you say you removed xdm. What does the agetty do instead of giving you a login shell? Does it display an error message? Does it crash? What error message does it show? After a failed login, if you use a live environment to mount the installed filesystems, what do the system logs say about the failed login? If you use a live environment and chroot into the installed system, what happens when you run /bin/su - and give the root password?
Separately, are you sure that the output of ls -l /usr/src/ is correct? None of those directories should be installed 777 ever. |

login - everytime when trying login the output is "login incorrect"
This is what I do when chrooting from another Linux | Quote: |
localhost / # mount -t proc proc /cecko/proc
localhost / # mount --rbind /dev /cecko/dev
localhost / # mount --rbind /sys /cecko/sys
localhost / # chroot /cecko /bin/bash
localhost / # source /etc/profile
|
After chrooting | Quote: | localhost / # /bin/su
localhost / # |
and | Quote: | localhost / # ls -l /usr/src

When chrooted from Live CD I used the same commands. Mount point was /mnt/gentoo |

I have chrooted and created new root user | Quote: | ocalhost # passwd
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: password updated successfully
|
After that | Quote: | localhost # localhost login: root
Password:
Login incorrect
localhost login:
Login timed out after 60 seconds. |
Accordingly I think, that login related packages are corrupted. I want to reemerge them, but I do not know which of them. |

What happens if you remove the root password altogether by editing the passwd
file (from a chroot)?
Try replacing the first line with:
| Code: |
root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
|
and see if you can log in then.

| Root is ext4, so permissions can be saved. Something must have changed them after installation. Have you run any recursive commands that could have done this? |

| What was overwritten? Trashing the permissions in the manner shown would only require visiting inodes, which are small. The modification itself is a single field in the inode. Exact performance requirements would vary based on filesystem rules for inode layout, but even the worst case (one inode per disk block) would mean a number of disk writes equal to the number of inodes. No production filesystem lays out inodes that poorly, so you could probably get at least 16 inodes per write in most cases. |

I also have permission 777 on /usr/src/linux. This is the system I posted about strange warnings about user/group portage not existing when they are. I tried deleteing the symlink and re-creating it and it's still 777. What should it be? 755?
Something unknown seems to have screwed up both systems, although mine still runs and updates, albeit with the bogus permissions. |

i think it is good practice to make it so you can easily sacrifice your install. backups, data partitions, redundancy, posting configs online, leaving files at friends houses, 512gb flash drives from ebay for 40 bucks...... ETC then just wipe screwed up permissions and cook up a new gentoo box, perfecting your techniques of installing / maintaining systems. uptime / years of install say to me you tip toe around your machine and do not seriously beat on it. i beat on my computer like a 17 year old beats on a 300 dollar car with a brown pain job.
production webserver on the other hand, i tip toe around that... make double sure anything i do is what i want done. check locally first. |

| New Gentoo has already been installed, but on another partition keeping the old one still available. I would like to know what happened and if it is possible to rescue it. In the past I had installed several not only Gentoo distros ( LFC, Arch, Sabayon, FreeBSD, GentooBSD etc.) and never encountered issue like that |

How did this prevent him from logging in? Isn't 777 Octal with every bit set? |

Some programs check that your permissions are not insanely open and refuse anyone access until it is fixed. However, it is more likely that the wide open permissions are not responsible for the login failure. Wide open permissions are an indication something is wrong. Inability to login is also a problem, and may be somehow tied to the same mistake that produced the bad permissions.
666threesixes666: good backups are a good idea, but routinely trashing the system just because you know you can recover it sounds like making work for yourself unnecessarily. I use my system how I like to use it and have yet to break it in a way that required a reinstall. One of the regular posters on these forums has mentioned having a Gentoo install that has gone through three motherboards (and presumably other hardware upgrades) over a span of 9+ years without needing a reinstall. |
