Arch authentication info problem after restoring
by Arch4GoodieLike from LinuxQuestions.org on (#58QGW)
i reinstalled Arch and cp the whole ArchBackup from backup device BUT some files in /etc & /var branch are missing, because i didnt run Code:rsync -aAXHv --exclude={"/dev/*","/proc/*","/sys/*","/tmp/*","/run/*","/mnt/*","/media/*","/lost+found"} / /path/to/backup as root which resulted the missing files in permission problems.
when i did Code:su and entered my password, i got
Code: su: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication infothen out of curiousity i did Code:sudoand got Code:sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have setuid bit setthis happens in my Plasma DE and also in my tty, no difference there.
i CAN login and use my Arch aslong i dont use the sudo command in terminal, which makes my current Arch semi-usable.
I also noticed once i do the shortcut for Lock-screen which is META+L i cant unlock it anymore, since it would say my pw is wrong, so in order to login, i have to avoid META+L or restart the device but i'm sure it has to do with the authetication info error which is the reason for this thread.
