[SOLVED] /bin/mountpoint doesn't exist

[isadora]

System: Mageia 3 64 bit
Kernel: 3.8.13.4-desktop-1.mga3
Machine: Dell OptiPlex 9010

In trying to solve *many* startup errors, one of the issues is with a script that is being executed, /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions. In the script the utility /bin/mountpoint is called, but the file /bin/mountpoint does not exist.

In doing some research, the mountpoint utility is apparently a perl utility, contained in a util-linuxxxxxx package. I have a package installed, util-linux-2.22.2-5.mga3.x86_64. But this package apparently doesn't contain a utility called mountpoint.

Calling journalctl -a |grep network prints lots of entries like this:

network[1192]: /etc/init.d/functions: line 24: /bin/mountpoint: No such file or directory

I have lots of other errors, thought I would start by sharing this one. LSB seems to be all jacked up. Can't install Hamachi etc. etc. Get the Plymouth wait error, LSB windbind start error, etc.

I moved the network drive mappings to rc.local. Lots of errors.

/bin should be a symlink to /usr/bin

urpmf /usr/bin/mountpoint

Thanks Jim. There is no mountpoint anywhere in the system. I checked using 'locate mountpoint' & looked in /usr/bin manually. Here's what I get:

Code: Select all

# locate mountpoint
/usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/mountpoint.debug
/usr/src/debug/sysvinit-2.87dsf/src/mountpoint.c


Code: Select all

# urpmf /usr/bin/mountpoint
sysvinit-legacy-tools:/usr/bin/mountpoint
sysvinit-legacy-tools:/usr/bin/mountpoint

# sysvinit-legacy-tools:/usr/bin/mountpoint
bash: sysvinit-legacy-tools:/usr/bin/mountpoint: No such file or directory


[doktor5000]

Code: Select all

# urpmf /usr/bin/mountpoint
sysvinit-legacy-tools:/usr/bin/mountpoint
sysvinit-legacy-tools:/usr/bin/mountpoint

The output means that the file /usr/bin/mountpoint is contained in the package sysvinit-legacy-tools which you need to install.

Also this is quite weird, as sysvinit-legacy-tools is required by initscripts package:

Code: Select all

[doktor5000@localhost ~]$ urpmq --whatrequires sysvinit-legacy-tools
initscripts
initscripts
sysvinit-legacy-tools

Which in turn is required by basesystem-minimal package, which always has to be installed. So there is a huge inconsistency in your system.
So question is more, which media did you use to install Mageia?

Also please show the output as root of

Code: Select all

LC_ALL=C rpm -Va --nosize --nomtime

I had an .mga4 version of the sysvinit-legacy-tools installed. I used urpmi to downgrade it to the mga3 version.

Thanks.

That means the network interfaces are flagged as being controlled by NetworkManager, but it doesn't seem configured properly.

When did you download the dual image? You probably suffered from this:

Please check how many Cauldron packages you have already installed by

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep mga4

If your install is quite fresh and not much configured, it's probably better to redownload
one of the newer and fixed images, and reinstall.

I know when I was trying to install hamachi I was getting lsb version errors. So I broke all of the rules and downloaded an lsb for another distro that appeared to have a newer version - 4, I believe. Anyway it didn't solve the problem and now I'm stuck with it. Everytime I try to do anything with it, like downgrade or uninstall, I either get the 'break your system' message or a library conflict message. The package is lsb-release and is from PLD linux.

As far as starting over is concerned, I'm pretty heavily invested in my config now.

I get similar errors on startup for rc.local, shorewall 6, winbind, and plymouth. Is there a way that I can surgically remove (or trick the system) into putting back the proper lsb package(s) from mga and getting rid of the lsb-release package?

Currently I have to wait until startup finishes with the 'Target Graphical Interface reached' message. Then I have to Ctrl-Alt-F2, log in as root, and do init 5 to get a GUI login screen.

And has anyone had success installing hamachi on mga 3?

Oops, almost forgot. My iso has a date of 8/20 on it, so it wasn't too long ago that I downloaded it.

Thanks for all of the expert assistance.

[doktor5000]

Please only one problem per thread, for the hamachi thing, please start a separate thread.
At least we found the core issue now - although it would have been really helpful if you would have mentioned that in the initial post,
that you replaced core packages and don't run a default Mageia installation anymore. You know such little details are really important ...

What do you get from executing as root:

Code: Select all

urpmi --test --replacepkgs lsb-release

[dkeith]

Code: Select all

# urpmi --test --replacepkgs lsb-release
found package(s) lsb-release-2.0-39.mga3.x86_64 in urpmi db, but none are installed


I was able to get back to a default installation!:

Code: Select all

# urpmi lsb-release-2.0-39.mga3.x86_64 --downgrade
The following package has to be removed for others to be upgraded:

I'll reboot in a little while and see if that fixes anything.

You know such little details are really important ...

I am ashamed...

Thanks!

[dkeith]

Ok, had a chance to reboot. Made no difference, same errors on startup, still not booting into X. Anything else I can do to fix it?

[doktor5000]

Which errors on startup would that be currently? As you fixed the /bin/mountpoint issue there should be much less.

[dkeith]

network,rc.local, shorewall 6, winbind, and plymouth. No change.

Thanks.

Well, for network, I've posted above what the issue is, or what it seems like from your truncated log.
That output you posted doesn't say anything, as it only shows last 10 lines from the log of that service.
Without context totally useless. Let's first get that network issue sorted out, as some of the other errors
rely on networking (and some are bogus, see winbind and shorewall6)

Maybe it's better to reinstall, and don't add some 3rd party packages next time ...

[dkeith]

Unfortunately I have a very complex installation including Oracle and Vmware. The amount of man hours required to rebuild is more than I can afford at this time. However I can detail time for smaller tasks that ultimately lead to a resolution.

From what I've seen and read in other forums, networkmanager has numerous problems that can produce the error that I'm seeing. From what I've seen of your posts and the output from the commands you gave me, if I can fix the NetworkManager issue it may have a snowball effect on the other problems. So it's worth the effort to me to try and at least get that one fixed.

Thanks.

[doktor5000]

Well, if you don't want to use networkmanager, just uninstall it and check your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo as that seems to give issues.

Code: Select all

urpme -a networkmanager

[dkeith]

I'm ok with uninstalling NetworkManager. However I'm not sure what I'm looking for in ifcfg-lo. Can you please elaborate a bit? I don't want to uninstall NetworkManager until I know what I'll be dealing with after the uninstall.

Thank you.

So that's the default. And according to ifconfig output it's up and running and transferring data. Also the normal interface is up and running, got an IP adress and transferred already loads of data. Where's the issue, apart from the weird log entry during boot?
