cannot startx after failed glibc intallation through RPM
Ok, here is the story:
I was trying to install a new version of xine on my Mandrake 9.0 with GNOME2 and I needed to intall glibc3.0.1 I downloaded the RPM for mandrake from rpmfind.net and tryied to install it. It kinda hung up the system but I was able to recover it by using a virtual console and kill. I restarted the system and the next time It wouldn't start my X server and the xfs service cannot be found by service. runlevel returns that I'm un runlevel5 so that's not the problem but when I log in with my root (I haven't tried anyone else) it returns the following: -bash: id: comand not found -bash: uname: command not foud -bash: uname: command not found -bash: tty: command not found -bash: tty: command not found -bash: id: command not found -bash: id: command not found -bash: id: command not found -bash: [: too many arguments when I try startx it returns: /usr/X11R6/bin/startx: line 1: uname: command not found execve failed for /etc/X11/X (errno2) giving up. xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to conect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error now... I managed to install xfs and even to start it.,...but startx keeps returning the same errors. I think Maybe there is a problem with the shell (bash)... but I don't know. I'd appreciate ANY help or piece of advice you guys can give (anything that doesn't include buying a new PC :-P) thanks a lot. Ciccio.- |
get glibc from source and install it, or else get it off of the mandrake cds from rpm then if you still cant do startx reinstall xfree
im not sure but i think you have to be in single user mode for glibc either way it wont hurt so do that with "telinit 1" |
well. I've solved most problems by doing un 'update' from teh CD and re-installing everything without fgormatting nor losing any config....
the problem is still the X. it returns: [root@Gandalf root]#startx execve failes for /etc/X11/X (errno2) giving up. xinit: No such File or Directory (errno2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno3): Server Error [root@Gandalf root]# any idea what this means???? thanks a lot |
