[SOLVED] boot error

tux · 2022-10-02 07:51:13

deleted a /tmp, app was not working, app is not reason for error.

on reboot
error at checking misc settings
pre-flight check error
unable to write to path temp_fil ('temp') permission denied

after enter name and pass says failed to execute login command

tried recovery boot, same error.

booted installer medium to see partishon that boot has regenerated /tmp file

do not want to reinstall, want to learn to how to fix

can get past login/pass in old recovery mode, black screen and bash. nmcli ifconfig cannot connet wifi.

how connect wifi via command line?

/tmp dir did have a socks that was there after every boot, might be call lo.socks?

could be nagios, remove by installer?

First try ls -ld /tmp/ Output should look like

drwxrwxrwt 10 root root 16384 Oct  2 17:30 /tmp/

If it's missing then as root mkdir /tmp and chmod 1777 /tmp and see if that fixes it. If it exists but perms are not drwxrwxrwt enter the chmod.

/mnt$ ls -ld /tmp/
drwxrwxrwt 9 root root 220 Oct  2 18:25 /tmp/

chmod set to 755

in recovery mode

sudo startx launch output
  (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
and fatel sever error
(EE) could not create lock file in /tmp/.tx0-lock
xinit unable to connect to x server
connection refused

Perhaps / is mounted read-only due to filesystem errors?

If so, you probably need to boot up with another root filesystem so as to fsck the root partition first.

Or you might try to remount / read-write.

Another option is to mount a tmpfs onto /tmp. Though that might not be enough as it won't allow log files or authority files to be written.

Create a new /tmp/ & /var/tmp/ with

install -dv -m 1777 /tmp /var/tmp

could chmod 644 directories conflict with 1777 /tmp cause boot error?

is devuan install default directories chmod 644?

removed unused server daemon and packages for apache and nagio unneeded

boot gives no more errors, same for recovery mode

but after enter name and pass says failed to execute login command

and recovery mode no longer has error (EE) could not create lock file in /tmp/.tx0-lock
but new error output from startx launch
xinit: Connection to xserve lost

Please post the full content of ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log (or any other Xorg.?.log if you ran startx from a different TTY).

Solution
recovery mode

chmod
install -dv -m 1777 /tmp

mount -o remount,rw /
X -configure

rm -f /tmp/.x* another alternative is rm -f /tmp/.X0-lock*

check if program is using dbus
grep -r dbus /etc/systemd/system/*

if the answer is yes
sudo service <program name> start
logout

login interface, sign in
back to normal, run sudo apt-get update, upgrade, dist-upgrade, autoremove, autoclean
restart.

developers - synaptic nagios package might be creating a persistent .sock in /tmp
