Error Messages
What is this Strange Error message?
After reinstalling Yellow Dog on a Mac PowerPC, I got this flashing error message; According to /var/run/gmd.pid gmd was already running, (number) but seems to have been murdered mysteriously. It keeps flashing off and on, and will not let me do anything except Control/Alt/Del to restart, then after reloading it starts all over again. What is going on, and how do I stop it? |
By manually kiling the pid file?
|
How do I do that?
|
As root (from init 1 - pass that as a parameter to the kernel):
rm /var/run/gmd.pid |
OK, this is happening again, so how do I stop the flashing screen so I can lon in as root and enter the comman above?
I don't remember how I stopped it before, I have reinstalled a couple different versions of LINUX, (Linux PPC 2000, Yellow Dog, and some others) off and on the last few months. I may have only stopped it by re-installing LINUX again, and again, and now it is back. |
