rc0.-rc6.d directories missing? [Solved]

Postby leifew » Fri Apr 06, 2012 12:43

Hi,

I'm new to Sabyon, but not Linux. Installed Sabayon 8 xfce as an Guest OS on VMware Workstation 8.0.2 build-591240.
Ran all the commands mentioned in http://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title ... t_to_do.3F
The freshly installed Sabayon works smooth. No hazels so far. :) Later, when I tried to install VMware Tools on my
virtual instance I was asked following question:

What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)? :?:

Since I didn't know I aborted the installation and checked for those directories.

leifew@sabayon ~ $ which rc0.d
which: no rc0.d in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.6.2:/usr/games/bin)

Seems that those directories are missing or replaced with something else. Usually they are found in /etc/init.d,
but matters are different in Sabayon, aren't they?
Please advice me.
Thanks in advance, Leif Edvin

SL Forum Search is showing me these threads: For those with vmware player problems on the new sab.:

and Where is /etc/rc0.d? (solved):

Thanks for your suggestion, but that dirs do not exist on my system. I workarounded that:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_VMWare_Server

I had to create the folders manually.


Try those.

If the directories are not being created by the Entropy package, I recommend you file a bug report (click on the link 'Bugs' at the top of this page).

Moved to 'Virtual Managers' shed (forum), as people are more likely to look there.
