The login prompt is there but after typing in the name and hitting
enter I only get the above comment.
Googling on this I find a gentoo bug (245370) Dec 13 that looks like
it is similar.. but the fix mentioned there... backing up to an earlier
version of ncurses (5.6-r2) did not clear my problem.
It may actually be a different bug since I don't see some of the the
other stuff mentioned in that thread.
I haven't ran revdep-rebuild yet... that was my next move but had to
go to a different part of town where I can't really access that
machine.
Does anyone recognize this problem without further diagnostics? If
not then I will be back to the problem machine later tonight and
supply more information. Ideas about what info would be most useful
would be appreciate
What packages did you update? It sounds like a udev problem, although
I'm admittedly grasping at straws. Knowing what packages you updated
will really help.
