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.-
