OK - more info. I´ve come to the conclusion that something is
seriously fucked-up with permissions, but I have no idea how to fix
it.

As I wrote earlier, I´m now using a rescue partition on the same box.
So, in effect, I can mount any partitions I want to. I mounted /usr as
/-usr and tried running random programs from that partition.
Nothing runs, even thoug the permissions SEEM to be OK. Hereś a random
example of runnng rpmquery. I hope it´s clear what I´ve done here, but
to be sure, I´ĺl add some comments.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ rpmquery  xterm
xterm-215-4mdv2007.0
# rpmquery runs normally on my rescue system
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ /usr/bin/rpmquery  xterm
xterm-215-4mdv2007.0
# same result if I specify the path
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ /-usr/bin/rpmquery  xterm
bash: /-usr/bin/rpmquery: Permission denied
# if I use a path that runs the same program, but from my real
system´s /usr partition, I have no permission
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ls -la /-usr/bin/rpmquery
ls: /-usr/bin/rpmquery: Permission denied
# I can´t even see the file

lrwxrwxrwx 1 rpm rpm 15 Nov 30  2006 /-usr/bin/rpmquery - ../lib/rpm/rpmq*

# and just to be sure, here root is seeing the permissions of the
actual file - still OK for read and exec
[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]#


So why can´t solomon see or run programs in /-usr? This must be
connected to my login problem. There are obviously actions that need
to be done to complete the login and permissions prevent them from
being done.

 So why can´t solomon see or run programs in /-usr? This must be
 connected to my login problem. There are obviously actions that need
 to be done to complete the login and permissions prevent them from
 being done.

Can you ls on dirs above this file from your user, and see their permission? 
Remember that you need to have +x for your user on all the directories above 
the file/dir you're trying to access...

Perhaps you have something it your (solomon user) login script (.profile, *rc 
files, etc) that makes this happen. I once saw a developer playing with 
things like the env variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH in his login script, and as a 
result, the dynamic loader went crazy and caused similar effects.

And of course - strace -f is your friend if nothing else works :-)

I compared your strace with strace in my system when running ls -la .

Since my system is Debian Etch, may I suggest that you request someone,
who is running Mandriva like you, to run strace and E-mail you his
strace output for comparison with yours?

 Hi Shlomo!

 I'm attaching my strace ls -la /usr/bin/rpmquery dump compressed.

I tried comparing to my ls -la results, but after only 2 or 3 lines,
there is almost no similarity. I don´t know what to look for. I see
(in your strace) alot of referals to specific files that are  not
relevant to my system. So I don´t know what a ¨normal strace output
should be.

boot messages

2007-12-20 Thread shlomo solomon
When I boot, I see hundreds of messages flying off the screen faster
than I can read them - some of them error messages. Alot, BUT NOT ALL,
of the messages can be seen with dmesg, but there are many messages
that I can´t see there or in the logs (unless, of course there are
additional logs I haven´t checked). This is probably related to my
previous, unsolved issue aboout not being able to login, because I´m
pretty sure that in the past I didn´t see error messages during boot.

Can anyone suggest how to slow down the messages and/or capture them
into a file I can see after booting.

In case I didn mention it earlier, my system is Mandriva 2007.0 with
all upgrades..
