 Posted: Thu Apr 19, 2012 8:59 pm Post subject: Pambase is missing some files |
 |
|
I don't know how, but after todays update I have this problem:
| Code: | lukas@lukyn ~ $ equery k pambase
* Checking sys-auth/pambase-20120417 ...
!!! /etc/pam.d/login does not exist
!!! /etc/pam.d/passwd does not exist
!!! /etc/pam.d/su does not exist
8 out of 11 files passed
|
At this moment I am unable to login throught console. I am able to login to KDE, su command fails too.
As I am unable to log as root, I can't reemerge this package, I can't use files from backup. I can't boot from CD at this moment and I have no flash drive now.
I am doomed as far as I can say  or has anybody any idea? |

LukynZ,
Did you update the config files (._cfg) in /etc/pam.d 
If I remember correctly, there were three files that required updating - su and login sound familiar
Good luck.

Ok, there are new configs I didn't merge. However it shouldn't delete old at all. But without root I can't merge them

id say without the ability to reboot from a cd/usb right now you're fairly stuck
can you reboot at all? If so, reboot to single user mode, make the requisite changes, reboot

LukynZ,

Unfortunately, they're new files
One option to pursue is to install the hd in a machine that can boot a live cd, has linux installed, or connect it via a usb dongle.
Another option is ssh logon from another machine if you have ssh enabled on that machine.
Good luck

had the same problem after update . It was pambase and shadow.
I had to re-emerge pam and now #su- works .
Well, to be sure, I re-emerged pambase & shadow, too before pam .
Oh, but wait ! you can't log in as root.
Well, press i at boot time and don't allow to start the xdm service so that X wont start. (I hope you had set this option in your kernel )
If you haven't the option of "press i" you can always use a livecd and then chroot.

Thanks for tips. Finally fixed by usb boot
However I am still wondering how did this happen. Normally updated confings can't be deleted before merging new ones. |
