Running Ubuntu 9.10...
I was messing around with gdm/kdm and now BOTH of them are screwed up...
It boots into "rescue" mode but none of the options work...not even droping into a console (the screen just goes black)
I've also tried pressing CTL+ALT+F[1-9] ...still can't get a console....
I AM, however, able to boot from the live CD and mount
/dev/sda1 and...
Code:
root@livecd# chroot /mnt
Unfortunately...
Code:
root@chroot# dpkg-reconfigure gdm
Doesn't work...SO I tried using apt-get to reinstall gdm...the only problem is when I try getting the network up in the chroot enviroment I get an error saying...
Code:
root@chroot# dhclient
/proc/net/dev: No such file or directory
SO...I was wondering if
apt-get had something similar to yum where I can specify the "install root" (since I CAN get a network connection via the live cd in a non-chroot environment
for example, if this was fedora/rhel/centos...I could do...
Code:
yum -y --installroot=/mnt install gdm
Is there something similar with
apt-get or am I attacking this the wrong way?
