liveenv-14.2-x86_64-1s lm msissing

[SalixManiac]

Hello,

I am making a backup of all the packages installed on my system but liveenv-14.2-x86_64-1slm is missing and I can't find it in http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/sali ... 4.2/salix/

best regards,

liveenv package is created during live iso creation. It is a package which includes the user "one" settings for the live environment. It is not needed after installation. Since a new user created during installation. It is not a salix package which exists on salix repos. You don't needed.

Hello djemos,

I had problems uninstalling liveenv.

$sudo removepkg liveenv-14.2
$libtool --finish /usr/lib64

after that sudo was nowhere to be found.
$sudo leafpad fail
I decide to restart the PC.
I notice that my hostname has disappeared and that darkstar has returned.
I'm trying to log in to my account, it's not working.
I panic and start a system restore.
sadly I didn't think to make a root connection with one as a password. do you think this could work?

sudo has nothing to do with liveenv. Never uninstalling it because there are there /etc/group /etc/shadow /etc/hosts etc. Something else happened. Since there is no sudo, there is a problem. The last is to reinstall the system.

This is an old thread, but wanted to mention that I also tried removing Liveenv -- on a spare install with a backup that I could restore from -- which also fumbled with my hosts, shadows, and groups. Couldn't log in anymore, even with the correct password.

Best to just leave it installed, unless you can somehow prevent your hosts, shadows, and groups from being affected by its removal... Don't think that's doable, anyway.

Do not uninstall liveenv because there are /home/one (live user) and /etc/group /etc/shadow /etc/hosts etc. for the system. The installer delete user one which only used for the live iso to work and create a new user with the name you choose.
If you remove liveenv will destroy the system.
