| 557961 | 2007-06-10 20:22:00 | In PCLinuxOS I setup in a terminal to move my home folder to a vacant partition on reboot.The folder has moved but on booting in text mode I get Check loopback services FAILED Start Xserver FAILED and then a popup "Could not start Kstartup config. So I can not get PCL to boot.I do have access to all files from other OS. |

| 557962 | 2007-06-10 21:08:00 | Doncha just love it when you accidently kill your linux install.. :) I dont know how to fix it but - - If it were mine, I would do a reinstall and manually configure the partitions so that /home points to where you have now put it... |

| 557964 | 2007-06-11 06:17:00 | Check that you still have a /home directory to use as the mount point. Add a line to /etc/fstab to mount the new partition on /home. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 557965 | 2007-06-11 18:41:00 | This line is in the Fstab.Is it ok ? hdc4 is the new home partition but should there be a /mnt/ in there somewhere? /dev/hdc4 /home ext3 defaults 0 0 |

| 557966 | 2007-06-11 19:11:00 | I took the "home" out of the fstab line and the text start did not show the 2 FAILED lines but right at the last min before the desktop loaded I still get the KDECONFIG failed "check yr installation" |

| 557967 | 2007-06-11 19:49:00 | Incidentally, what does /etc/mtab show? And are you able to run dmesg? |

| 557969 | 2007-06-11 22:51:00 | I have just found that I do not have a "Home" folder in the home partition but my user folder is there????? Should it be in a Home folder | kjaada (253) | ||
| 557970 | 2007-06-12 01:52:00 | Put this line back in /etc/fstab: /dev/hdc4 /home ext3 defaults 0 0 Now create a /home directory on your root partition, but leave it empty. If this directory does not exist, linux will be unable to mount your partition. Reboot. Assuming you moved stuff correctly, all should now be fine and the partition should mount correctly. If you haven't already done so, delete your 'home-moving' script before you reboot. I have just found that I do not have a "Home" folder in the home partition but my user folder is there????? Should it be in a Home folder?No. Because you are mounting it on /home, there should not be a home folder in your home partition, just the users' folders directly in the partition's root. |
