boot a live cd
mount your main partition
chroot to the mount point
then type cp /bin/bash /bin/sh

Do you somehow think that there is a group of people on duty to respond "immediately"? We are all volunteers who check at random times---sometimes only for a few minutes.

Please know that some people will not even open a post with a title like this.

Hi,

Sorry Boss, I'm a little late getting back too work. I'll try to be of aid whenever there's someone that actually provides a solid informational query for their thread/post.

I do suggest that the OP looks at the next two links in hope of enlightenment;

on slackware you should have the bash binary in

Code:

/bin/bash

check that it's present (you should get an output like the 2nd line)

Code:

ls -l /bin/bash
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 678832 2007-05-11 00:19 /bin/bash*

and 2 symbolic links that point to it

Code:

/bin/sh -> /bin/bash

Code:

/usr/bin/bash -> /bin/bash

if /bin/sh or /usr/bin/bash don't point to /bin/bash
you'll need to recreate the symbolic links

Code:

cd /bin
ln -sf bash sh

Code:

cd /usr/bin
ln -sf /bin/bash bash

installpkg

removepkg

what packages are you trying to install?

pixellany · 10-20-2009, 10:41 PM

The Slackware manual is pretty good at explaining the package management---including various 3rd party options. The big thing is no dependency-checking by default. That always has stopped me with really getting into Slackware--but I might yet have a epiphany one of these days.

If you think Gentoo is easy, then learning Slackware is going to be pretty quick.

Hi,

The subject of package use has been covered many times on the Slackware Forum so a search will get you all sorts of information.

You could look at the 'Slackware Builds, Packages & Scripts' section of 'Slackware-Links'. More than just Slackware® links!

Ssk8harddiefast · 10-22-2009, 07:32 AM

i made another try and i find that he crash when i am doing bash & kernel update!!!!!why??when he crased i tried to fix the links but seems to be good!!!!

This problem occurs when you use slackpkg to update your 64-bit Slackware 13.0 from a 32-bit Slackware 13.0 repository. Unfortunately it is all too easy to accidentally select the wrong mirror in the /etc/slackpkg/mirrors file (it happened to me :-( )

The simplest solution is to re-install the system. Then ensure you select a 64-bit repository in the /etc/slackpkg/mirrors file so that you don't overwrite your critical binaries with their 32-bit counterparts.
