Most of the system is instantiated anew on every boot. This also includes creating user accounts. Having a file there that cannot be modified is indeed the problem here. > I think that if I ran the command `chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf` it > might fix the problem and allow the system to boot however I get an > error when I try typing that at the scheme prompt. > > Any suggestions on how I should get a Linux console terminal so I can > enter the `chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf` command? (system* "/gnu/store/…-bash/bin/bash") but for that to work you’d have to know the hash. Dependent on how far along the boot process has come along you may already have /run/current-system/profile/bin/bash, so try (system* "/run/current-system/profile/bin/bash") This gives you a proper shell. You may also have chattr in that location, so you could do this directly: (system* "/run/current-system/profile/bin/chattr" "-i" "/etc/resolv.conf") -- Ricardo
