I just did an emerge -uD world and now have an almost unusable desktop, so |
| 2 |
my small business on which I depend is out of business until I get this |
| 3 |
fixed! |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I started the emerge and went out for a while and when I came back |
| 6 |
(mozilla-thunderbird was building, package 21 of about 48) I noted that |
| 7 |
things were running _VERY_ slowly. Some commands executed quickly, but |
| 8 |
some, such a 'sudo su - root' took several minutes to execute. The emerge |
| 9 |
of Thunderbird was taking so long that I aborted it and rebooted the system. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
When the system boots, I get to: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
* Starting udevd ... |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
and then I get: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
udevd[554]: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://127.0.0.1: Can't |
| 18 |
contact LDAP server |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
[the LDAP server doesn't start until much later in the boot process] |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
... and the same message repeats many times after successively longer |
| 23 |
timouts, and finally the boot proceeds. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Subsequently the ALSA module hangs for several minutes while loading (there |
| 26 |
is no sound when the system finally comes up. Likewise, samba takes forever |
| 27 |
to start, as does dbus and the ldap-server and several other services, and |
| 28 |
finally starting the X server takes several minutes. The box takes about 45 |
| 29 |
minutes to boot up! Once it's up, emerging anything takes ages and ages, so |
| 30 |
I'm pretty well stuck and hozed. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I have ldap enabled in my USE spec in /etc/make.conf, but why is udevd |
| 33 |
depending on it? It's not in IUSE for the udev ebuild. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I've been using gentoo for several years, and have been scared that |
| 36 |
something like this would happen, that the system would screw itself and |
| 37 |
leave me with no way out. The only thing that could have been worse here |
| 38 |
would have been if it had happened on one of my servers, which are also |
| 39 |
running gentoo. I'd be losing customers right and left. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Can anyone please advise me on how to straighten this mess out? |
