Hi,

I think I corrupted my "keymaps" init script... :(

Here is what happened: after a long time, yesterday I made an update world. Because it pulled KDE 4.8 (I am using the kde overlay), the compilation took some time, so I made it yesterday night and left it compiling the whole night.

Today at morning, I went on with the update process (emerge --depclean, revdep--rebuild...) The problem was when I ran etc-update, I think I did something wrong and half updated the "keymaps" (remember seeing this as one of the files to update).

Now, when I reboot my system, there is an error message when the init.d scripts are running. It is very quick, but I could see that there was some error in the 50th line of the "keymaps" file. The other scripts kept loading. At the end, insted of appearing the KDM login screen, it appeared an X login screen and it was a frozen screen, it did not receive any input from the keyboard or mouse. Not even Ctrl+Alt+(F1---[/code]F12)

So, I reset the laptop and booted in a Kubuntu LiveCD. I accessed my hard drive and opened the /etc/init.d/keymaps, it was like this:
Code:
#!/sbin/runscript
# Copyright (c) 2007-2008 Roy Marples <roy@marples.name>
# Released under the 2-clause BSD license.

description="Applies a keymap for the consoles."

depend()
{
   need localmount termencoding
   after bootmisc
   keyword -openvz -prefix -uml -vserver -xenu -lxc
}

start()
{
   ttyn=${rc_tty_number:-${RC_TTY_NUMBER:-12}}
   : ${unicode:=$UNICODE}
   : ${keymap:=$KEYMAP}
   : ${extended_keymaps:=$EXTENDED_KEYMAPS}
   : ${windowkeys:=$SET_WINDOWSKEYS}
   : ${fix_euro:=$FIX_EURO}
   : ${dumpkeys_charset:=${DUMPKEYS_CHARSET}}

   if [ -z "$keymap" ]; then
      eerror "You need to setup keymap in /etc/conf.d/keymaps first"
      return 1
   fi

   local ttydev=/dev/tty n=
   [ -d /dev/vc ] && ttydev=/dev/vc/

   # Force linux keycodes for PPC.
   if [ -f /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes ]; then
      echo 1 > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes
   fi

   local wkeys= kmode="-a" msg="ASCII"
   if yesno $unicode; then
      kmode="-u"
      msg="UTF-8"
   fi
   yesno $windowkeys && wkeys="windowkeys"

   # Set terminal encoding to either ASCII or UNICODE.
   # See utf-8(7) for more information.
   ebegin "Setting keyboard mode [$msg]"
   n=1
   while [ $n -le $ttyn ]; do
      kbd_mode $kmode -C $ttydev$n


I don't understand scripting, but I notice that it was missing the final close bracket "}", so I added it. When I rebooted the system, the same problem happened again, I guess there is something missing from this script.

Any help is appreciated!

Don't know how that should have happened, but for reference, here's my (unmodified) file
Code:
#!/sbin/runscript

        ebegin "Setting keyboard mode [$msg]"
        n=1
        while [ $n -le $ttyn ]; do
                kbd_mode $kmode -C $ttydev$n
                : $(( n += 1 ))
        done
        eend 0

        ebegin "Loading key mappings [$keymap]"
        loadkeys -q $wkeys $keymap $extended_keymaps
        eend $? "Error loading key mappings" || return $?

        if yesno $fix_euro; then
                ebegin "Fixing font for euro symbol"
                # Fix some fonts displaying the Euro, #173528.
                echo "altgr keycode 18 = U+20AC" | loadkeys -q
                eend $?
        fi

        # Save the keymapping for use immediately at boot
        if [ -w "$RC_LIBEXECDIR" ]; then
                mkdir -p "$RC_LIBEXECDIR"/console
                dumpkeys >"$RC_LIBEXECDIR"/console/keymap
        fi
}
hope that helps.

Thanks! A section of the end of the script was missing, so I used your to replace it.

The good news is that this error message is gone.

The bad news is that the problem persists. Now that the error message about the keymaps is gone, I notice there is a second error message, about udev failing to execute some files:
Code:
 udev[1466]: failed to execute '/usr/sbin/alsactl' '/usr/sbin/alsactl restore 0': No such file or directory
udev[1470]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/pci-db' 'pci-db /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.1' : No such file or directory
udev[1471]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/pci-db' 'pci-db /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2': No such file or directory

Those are the error messages that I was able to see while the scripts where going through to screen.

What can this be?

It's a longs hot have you tried to re-emerge udev ? Also future reference I had allot of problems with etc-update dispatch-conf is nicer IMO.
There is another app out there too called cfg-update but I haven't used it too much you can heck it out as well.

It looks like your /etc/init.d/keymaps file had been truncated. Perhaps the same has happened to udev & alsa.
Time for an fsck?
Afterwards, you can see if 'emerge -1 udev alsa-utils' helps.

You use what profile?

Try compiling udev with USE="extras"
