| Post subject: | not booting up to myth |
My system locked and I had to reboot. I got all sort of errors. I ran fsck on hda1 and e3fsck on /dev/vg/myth. Errors were found and repaired. Now when I boot it goes to a grey screen with the mouse cursor on the screen as a little x. I can't find a way to interact with the machine from this screen. I am working on the tv so the edges are cut off a little. I'm stuck on where to go next. Any suggestions. rkshack |

Need more information - can you get to an xterm screen (alt-x or ssh into the box)? Need log information... Check your syslog, dmesg, kern. If necessary, try booting from the Knoppmyth install disk to get to a term screen. |

I can't ssh or get an xterm screen. I booted to a single user fine. Trying to find a way to get my logs off the myth box. Usb is not powering on when I boot into this mode. Edit: rebooting with the flash drive in place fixed the drive not powering on. rkshack |

| Post subject: | libkrb5support |
When I try rebooting in runlevel 5 I get an error that I don't know if it is significant. It says can not find libkrb5support.so. Something to that effect just before it goes to the grey screen with the x for a pointer. I am trying to get my logs but so far I have not seen the problem. I wonder if it is in .xsessions-error but It is too big to transfer to my thumb drive and my gb thumb drive won't mount. I have to use the file system and then it list devices 001 and 002 or something to that effect. Not the files on the drive. rkshack |

Try Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get to a console (not an Xterm, as X seems to be having issues) and check your logs to determine what the culprit may be... |

| Post subject: | gave up and restored |
I gave up and restored from a version that I used mondo to backup. I think I had some file damaged in my system crashes. Everything is ok now. |
