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
/bootrare 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 retar 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.
