I hope people have read his problem correctly. Or have they? He mentioned he changed permissions to the /lib directory and later his ubuntu won't boot with an error message "cant access system libraries" .
What I was asking was why in hell did he change the /lib directory's permissions? I can't see any practically good reason to do that. To the original poster, boot to an ubuntu live CD, examine the live CD's /lib permissions, mount the hard drive, and navigate to the partition's root directory and change the permissions back similar to the one on the live CD's /lib permissions. I don't need to tell you how to do that step by step. 2011/1/30 Ben Chavez <[email protected]> > The only reason I suggested that was because that did it for me.
