Hello group, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
As I expected it would, dispatch-conf |
| 4 |
over-wrote/corrupted a lot of files without giving me |
| 5 |
a chance to stop it. It left no log(file was empty)in |
| 6 |
/var/log/dispatch-conf.log. or any record of its |
| 7 |
passing that I can find. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Worst of all I can no longer dialout. |
| 10 |
/dev/ttyS0(external modem on COM1) no longer exists |
| 11 |
although in udev-rules the rule exists to create |
| 12 |
/dev/ttyS*. But there is no such thing under /dev. |
| 13 |
Attempts to dial-out lead to "unrecognized option |
| 14 |
'dev/ttyS0'" |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Speaking of udev, according to |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
http://webpages.charter.net/decibelshelp/LinuxHelp_UDEVPrimer.html |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
the only thing I left out of my setup was |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
#rc-update add hotplug boot. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
So I did it, but it didn't help. Under "PPP Device" on |
| 25 |
that same page it says to |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
#mknod -m 660 /dev/ppp c 108 0 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
But that didn't work either. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
FWIW this all took place after emerge |
| 32 |
baselayout-1.12.5-r1 which issued a warning to |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
/bin/ls /etc/init.d/net.* | grep -v '/net.lo$' | xargs |
| 35 |
-n1 ln -svfn net.lo |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Could that have done it? |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Also /dev/parport0 no longer exists, or /dev/lp*. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Further, could it be this has nothing to do with |
| 42 |
dispatch-conf at all. Afterall, a check of /etc/*conf |
| 43 |
shows many files with the timestamp corresponding to |
| 44 |
emerge baselayout's timestamp in portage. I didn't run |
| 45 |
#dispatch-conf for another 5 mins after that. |
