Sorry to say it, but I've messed it up .. then upgraded as a last-hope .. then after sysmerge I saw many warnings .. on reboot I couldn't login.
Errors: Quote:
It's more likely to be a lost case (thanks to my silliness of course) .. now what could be done i a similar situation ? dd my home partition ? will it somehow remedy the situation by copying clean config files fro the fresh system to the old one ? If the old disk weren't far bigger (500g) than this new one (60g) , I would consider transferring home data and reinstall a fresh OpenBSD .. Any suggestions are welcome .. Thanks. |

Thank you Jgimmi !
I read whatever you link to or abstract .. my problem is that I often fail to put what I read into effect to solve the issue as expected .. would you like me to post /var/run/dmesg.boot ? Is there a way to repair login.conf ? (by for instance substituting it with the fresh system's) |

Hi jgimmi ! Thank you !
I'm terribly sorry for the methodological mess I make each time I report an issue .. I'm not sure what else to say :-( .. I have 3 disks : 0- kankushin (openbsd current+login problem and the old bash empty @name issue ) (500g) 1- volla (successfully upgraded openbsd current+ simple ratpoison line recurring when installing a package) (120g) 2- hangestu (fresh & clean OpenBSD current) (60g) (I use three of them interchangeably on Acer Aspire 5610 - GENERIC.MP i386) Quote:
I'll try restoring the backup from /var/tmp. In all cases I don't regret having a 3rd disk .. in case I need it sometime . Last edited by daemonfowl; 11th April 2012 at 02:23 AM. Reason: specifying arch |
