[SOLVED] sh prompt in LFS system.

ubuntudude12 · 01-03-2012, 04:00 PM

Hi,

I have finished my first LFS system. When I boot it, the prompt says sh, not bash. When I try to run a command, the shell reports that the command was not found. The only command that doesn't produce an error is the cd command, but it doesn't change my directory. I am using LFS 7.0. Does anyone know how to fix this?

What is the output of

Code:

ls -al /bin/sh

and

Code:

ls -al /bin/bash

Maybe

Code:

echo $PATH

output as well & root

Hi,

As I stated previously, the ls command does not work on my LFS build. Instead, I ran the twols commands on my host distribution, adding /mnt/lfs in from of /bin/sh and /bin/bash. /mnt/lfs is the location of LFS on my computer. The output of ls -al /mnt/lfs/bin/sh is:

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Dec 27 00:22 /mnt/lfs/bin/sh -> bash

The output of ls -al /mnt/lfs/bin/bash is:

Code:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1991497 Dec 29 13:34 /mnt/lfs/bin/bash

Running echo $PATH on my LFS build produces the following result:

Code:

/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin.

I hope this helps.

Cam you run /bin/bash from lfs system or sudo /bin/bash then see if the other commands work

Post /etc/passwd on lfs

Hi,

Running /bin/bash on my lfs system produces the following result:

Code:

bash: no job control in this shell

Running sudo /bin/bash om my lfs system produces the following result:

Code:

bash: sudo: command not found

My lfs /etc/passwd file is as follows:

Code:

root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
bin:x:1:1:bin:/dev/null:/bin/false
nobody:x:99:99:Unprivileged User:/dev/null:/bin/false

Your passwd file is ok
The sym links are all there you have all the same permissons as mine
I presume you have redone bash just in case, maybe something went wrong there.
