 |
|
i did an emerge -u world and etc-update on my girlfriend's system...
on bootup, i get errors about not being able to start services.
and errors tell me that "Dependency info is missing, please run /sbin/depscan.sh to fix this"
but that does nothing.
so i run depscan.sh -u
| Code: |
*Caching service dependencies
sh: \bin\mktemp: no such file or directory
*Failed to create temporary cache!
bash: \var\lib\init.d\depcache:no such file or directory
sh: \bin\mktemp: no such file or directory
*Failed to create temporary cache!
gawk: \lib\rcscripts\awk\gendepends.awk:506 fatal: expression for '>>' redirection has null string value
*Failed to cache service dependencies
|
how can i fix this?

Does portage think that sys-apps/mktemp is installed? If so, something screwed that package up. Try re-emerging it, then run the depscan.

yes emerging mktemp fixed it... now all the services run well on bootup thanks.
but i have run into a new problem, X does not start correctly, i'm stuck on the checkered screen, and no errors are reported as to why it's not starting xdm/gdm/xorg correctly.
any ideas on this?

What do you get in /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Also, how are you starting up X? With the initscripts? Or manually? If it's being done during startup, try disabling that service and manually starting the login manager as root.

i stopped /etc/init.d/xdm and tried to run X manually
startx; showed the X cursor on a black desktop, then crashed back to vt1 with no errors
gdm; showed the X cursor on the checkered screen, and i had to manually kill it
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep 'EE' showed nothing at all.
| Code: | $ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep 'WW'
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (Connection refused) |
