Unable to login in Sabayon 5.2 amd64 K

[dark-soul]

After the distro has been installed I am unable to login.

I received this error message "Call to lnusertemp failed {temporary directories full?}. Check your installation." on login.

This happens beacause the /var/tmp directory is missing. After I created this directory with the correct permissions I can login.


Anyone has the same problem?

If that happens with a fresh install then it sounds like a bug to me. If so, I suggest that you file a bug report (see link Bugs at the top right of this page) to bring it to the attention of the developers.

After a successful installation on my Desktop PC with Sabayon_Linux_5.2_amd64_K.iso ,I just tried to install
Sabayon_Linux_5.2_x86_K.iso on my Notebook.

I get the same error message...

Login to XBMC works, just KDE not...

[stefan9]

I just opened a new Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1)

Login: root
Password: *******

equo update
equo upgrade

After I was able to login to KDE...

i just relogged in about 3 or 4 times it always kicked me back to the log in and on the 3rd or 4th time it gave me a bad resolution. it then alowed me to get to the desktop. logged out resolution was then fine and went to KDE desktop. now onto fixing my sound

Here's a fix for the problem (I don't know the cause of the problem, but it's reproducible with a fresh install of 5.2 x86 in Virtualbox).

log in via console with root access and type:

chmod 1777 /tmp
chmod 1777 /var/tmp

Forgot to add, you may need to create /var/tmp first:

mkdir /var/tmp

I experienced this too. why isn't this bug fixed yet?

a "equo update" and "equo upgrade" (as posted above) did fixed the lnusertemp issues, but I still could not log in. it would start loading kde and then kick me back to XDM login screen again over and over.

i realized there was LibGL linking issues after checking the xorg log, so on a hunch i tried reselecting OpenGL with eselect and it worked. (this kind of stuff you'd expect to already have been done from a fresh isntall...)

here's what I did, hope it helps someone:

Code: Select all

# eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL Implementation:
     [1]    Xorg-x11 *
     [2]    ati
     [3]    nvidia


I don't have a ati or nvidia, so it should be set on xorg-x11, so i set it to xorg-x11 with this :

Code: Select all

# eselect opengl set 1
Switching to xorg-x11 OpenGL interface... done


(NOTE: if you have ati or nvidia you'd obviously want to switch to those instead)

and that fixed my issue. (also if it's already on the one you want, you may need to switch to another and then back to the one you want to get it to work)

Did somebody file a bug for this then?

I installed Sabayon 5.2 KDE twice, from the same HDD partition. There was no problems for the first time (only a message about not correct video mode, I just waited a bit and it was gone). But for the second time I decided to split sda5 and sda6 into one 16 GB sda5 and install SL there. Partition manager did all things to mess me up, and SL installer displayed the same message There is a serious error during installation and restarted 3 or 4 times. After installed, Sabayon refused to boot with that message. I logged in to console and edited /etc/fstab, removing 2 odd swap partitions (I have 3 swap on my HDD). Maybe this helped?

/dev/sda5 / ext4 user_xattr,noatime 1 1
/dev/sda10 /home ext4 user_xattr,noatime 1 2
