/bin/bash error after kernel image updated
by deretsigernu from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5CGZW)
I installed 14.2 64 from LiveSlak via setup2hd to a laptop that dual boots Win10. After the install, rebooted and used the LiveSlak again, this time to mount the new installation and chroot and then install GRUB2. I unmounted everything and rebooted and got into the new installation just fine. I edited slackpkg blacklist to suppress kernel changes. I then upgraded slackpkg itself. Then I used
Code:slackpkg update
slackpkg upgrade-allOnce slackpkg downloaded everything, it tried to install the new packages and it looks like none of them could install because /bin/bash is missing somehow.
There was no error about /bin/bash until after slackpkg apparently started to install the packages it downloaded.
There is also a message that the kernel image was updated and I don't know how, since I indicated in the blacklist to suppress any updates of the kernel. I tried to open another terminal window to just look in a directory and that returned an error as well.
I made a screen shot of the two terminal windows with the errors I've mentioned and it is attached.
Everything I just described happened prior to what I ran into yesterday. Yesterday, I did not keep track of any of this, even though I thought the problem yesterda was because I forgot to edit the blacklist. Today, I made sure to edit that before running slackpkg update. So I don't know what's going on. I have a feeling if I reboot, which I haven't done yet, I'll get a kernel panic, because that was what yesterday's post was about. Can someone tell me how to fix this please? At the moment, the system is up, but it seems bricked, since apps don't start or open, so I imagine I'll have to reboot to a kernel panic, but I don't know that for sure.
