[Solved] User Home Lock-up

[Atip]

Salix Fluxbox-13.37

Since a few days my /home/user directory locks-up to read only after running the cron job of root:

"/usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.daily 1> /dev/null"

If I run it from a root terminal I get:

Code: Select all

/sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libgtksourceview-3.0.so.0 is not a symbolic link

/sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libgdk-3.so.0 is not a symbolic link

/sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libpeas-1.0.so.0 is not a symbolic link

/sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libpeas-gtk-1.0.so.0 is not a symbolic link

/sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libgirepository-1.0.so.1 is not a symbolic link

/sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libgedit-private.so.0 is not a symbolic link

/sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libffi.so.5 is not a symbolic link

then it does logrotate followed by slocate and my home directory has become locked. To restore it
I have to reboot.

Just checked, it is after slocate that the lock-up happens.

What could have suddenly triggered this and how to correct?

My /home directory was corrupted. Run reiserfsck --rebuild-tree /dev/sda7. Cleaned it up.

BTW: The ldconfig error messages don't seem to be related to official Salix packages. Is this a Gnome 3 installation?

No, however, I do have some gnome programs installed like gedit, cheese, gthumb may be others.

I made those now all real symlinks. Thanks for the pointer.
