Title: problem console does not run up
Post by: John on July 22, 2000, 07:11:24 PM
Hi,
Have just got the version 4 release of e-smith having run beta 4 for some month's

new install went ok but at end of boot does not run console ....bind error ?

if I login and try to run console manually /sbin/e-smith/./console I get a perl script
error ?

has anyone else seen this or is it corrupt download although image opened ok ?

Please record what the perl script error actually is and send it to bugs@e-smith.net.

What happens if you log in as "admin".

I haven't seen that, and I doubt that you would have got as far as you have if you had a corrupt download. Please log in and have a look at the files /tmp/install.log and /var/log/messages and see if you can spot anything relevant.

further information to problem actual error at end of boot when console should
appear

bind:cannot assign requested address

then if I run console manually as root /sbin/e-smith/./console
