 |
|
I was working in a framebuffer. I emerged gnome (emerge -DuN gnome) when I got the message that said that I had to download java direct from Sun's website.
I switched to another framebuffer and tried to log in to use links. I typed in 'root' for the login and got this error:
| Code: | | /etc/host.conf: line 24: bad command: mdns off |
I changed mdns to 'on' in host.conf but got the error:
| Code: | | /etc/host.conf: line 24: bad command: mdns off |
when I typed in user name.
Then I commented out that line entirely. Then when I typed in my login it just kicked me back to asking for login again.
This is a new Gentoo installation and I'm pretty new to Gentoo. I don't really know what config files affect log in.
/etc/host.conf:
| Code: | # /etc/host.conf:
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-libs/glibc/files/2.3.4/host.conf,v 1.2 2004/11/24 05:31:58 vapier Exp $
# The file /etc/host.conf contains configuration information specific to
# the resolver library. It should contain one configuration keyword per
# line, followed by appropriate configuration information. The keywords
# recognized are order, trim, mdns, multi, nospoof, spoof, and reorder.
# This keyword specifies how host lookups are to be performed. It
# should be followed by one or more lookup methods, separated by
# commas. Valid methods are bind, hosts, and nis.
#
order hosts, bind
# Valid values are on and off. If set to on, the resolv+ library treats

# of normal DNS requests. If you already use the .local domain in your
# nameserver configuration you will have to switch this option off.
#
#mdns off
# Valid values are on and off. If set to on, the resolv+ library

# with large hosts files.

/etc/make.conf:

CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe"

Oh yeah the other weird thing is that when I tried to login it said:
| Code: | | This is gloria.unknown_domain |
but I set my domain to be kramerica as follows:
/etc/hosts
| Code: | | 127.0.0.1 gloria.kramerica gloria localhost |
I'm not sure if this is the only thing that has to be done to set up a domain name or if it has anything to do with my current issue. I haven't really edited many of the other config files much.
Any help will be appreciated. I will be happy to post other config files if it helps diagnose the issue.
Thanks.

Try this thread: bad command 'mdns'off'.
To set your hostname, you have to edit /etc/conf.d/hostname, likewise for domainname.

This is caused by upgrading the system, you should run "etc-update" and update all configuration files as necessary. Otherwise you can end up with an unusable system. My current host.conf:
| Code: |
# /etc/host.conf:
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-libs/glibc/files/2.3.6/host.conf,v 1.1 2006/02/21 23:35:21 vapier Exp $

That didn't work at all. I had to shut my machine down. I thought that I could boot using the live cd and fix this, but after I did that, I kept getting this crazy error:
/usr/bin/pythin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
even though I hadn't touced the /usr directory.
I'm going to wipe my root partition and start over.

Try running revdep-rebuild first. You probably have some broken dependancies.
If you don't have that yet, emerge gentoolkit first.

Moved from Other Things Gentoo to Duplicate Threads.
[mod]Moved this thread to DT in favour of this one for the login issue, of this one for the mdns issue and of this one for the python issue.[/mod]
