[Solved] Error while exiting #!

celebrimbor · 2012-07-03 09:32:34

I have been running #! with backports for quite a long time now and everything works just fine but for the last 2-3 days, when I try to exit #! I get the following error:

Failed to execute child process "cb-exit" (No such file or directory).
What exactly does this error suggest?

the script 'cb-exit' has not been found. open a terminal and see whether

which cb-exit

gives you anything. maybe you removed the cb-package or something? just a wild guess..

Thanks for quick reply sire.

which cb-exit

gives nothing. Seems some package has been removed because I moved #! partition!
Should I reinstall #! ?:)

Don't reinstall! What exactly did you move, and to where? Did anything else break?

Try this:

sudo apt-get install crunchbang-bin-scripts

If this does not work, try this:

sudo find / -name cb-*

and report the results of both commands. This can be fixed without a reinstall.

You can always shutdown with

sudo shutdown -h now

and reboot with

sudo reboot

until we fix the missing cb-exit.

I had a 15 GB free partition before and 7 GB partition after #! partition so I thought I'd move #! partition and make some space to try Chakra and OpenSuse (Maybe I should open another thread to know if they're really worth trying!) and possibly that was the reason for breakage leaving only terminator option for shutdown. smile

Anyways,

 sudo apt-get install crunchbang-bin-scripts

fixed that error.
Thanks a ton for help!

You're welcome. Somehow you either deleted the package or lost the reference to it. Glad you got it sorted (without a reinstall!).

Please do head over to the distro hoppers thread with your impressions of Chakra and OpenSuse (and if you haven't tried them yet, go for it!) smile

Yea. I may have possibly deleted the packages but my defense mechanisms wouldn't let me admit it! tongue

And (like every other article geeky article did) distro hoppers is again galvanizing me to try installing Arch and Gentoo! Thanks for the thread suggestion! smile

You're welcome! I have Arch on my test box and I'm currently running Gentoo after successfully recompiling the kernel to use KMS, so if you have any questions just ask! Gentoo can be painful, but you will learn a lot about Linux...

Making changes to partitions will sometimes change the UUID, and this in turn will break your fstab reference. Check the UUID of all your CB mount points and compre them to the ones in your fstab file. If there are any that are different, edit fstab to correct the UUID and reboot.

Since I am using DSL modem, What happens while installing Arch and Gentoo is that I cannot simply connect to internet with rp-pppoe after base system installation and give up from there! sad

pidsley · 2012-07-04 19:07:22

I also use a DSL modem, and I don't even know what rp-pppoe is. Did you follow the Arch beginner's guide? Arch is easy compared to Gentoo, but they both have detailed instructions and (moderately) helpful forums. You could even ask here when you get stuck -- people here don't care what distro you're using.

celebrimbor · 2012-07-04 19:17:12

The Beginner's Guide lead me to rp-pppoe (And I connect to internet from #! with something similar!)!
Anyways, this conversation is going too off-topic and I really think I should start a new thread about this on Arch forums. big_smile
Again thanks for help and @Tuber thanks for the suggestion! smile
