[SOLVED] Kernel panic after trying install libc6.deb

joaonunatings · 2021-11-04 21:10:44

Hi, after dumbly trying to install libc6.deb running as root “dpkg -i libc6.deb” all basic bash commands started throwing seg fault and after reboot I get kernel panic.

I have a live boot drive with arch and can mount the unbootable one.

libc6 link: https://debian.pkgs.org/sid/debian-main … 4.deb.html

Sorry for bad formatting, I’m on my phone right now.

Tell me if I can provide you with more info as I’m currently panicking too

Follow Pacman#Pacman_crashes_during_an_upgrade steps 1 to 3 then replace step 4 with

pacman --root /mnt --cachedir=/mnt//var/cache/pacman/pkg -S glibc

If that command succeeds try rebooting.
Edit:
1 to 3 not 1 and 3.

After steps 1 and 3 I executed yours and got:

error: failed to initialize alpm library
(root: /mnt, dbpath: /mnt/var/lib/pacman/)
could not find or read directory

What is the output of

findmnt /mnt
ls /mnt

joaonunatings · 2021-11-04 23:49:02

findmnt /mnt

Output:
nothing

ls /mnt

Output:

dev proc sys

Edit ah I meant steps 1 to 3 instead of steps 1 and 3. I am guessing you skipped step 2?
Redo 2 and 3 then try the replacement for 4 again.

Ok that worked and I can boot without kernel panic. But now I can’t login with my user/password. Also tried root (I set custom passwds for both root and user)

From the live media can you chroot in and check the journal?
Also post the output of the following

# pacman -Qkk 2>&1 | grep -Fv '0 altered files' | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

joaonunatings · 2021-11-05 00:14:52

Chroot as in, mounting to /mnt and then arch-chroot /mnt?

What should I check for in journalctl

Ok I got one error message in journal:

pan_shells(login:auth): /etc/shells is either world writable or not a normal file

After I got kernel panic I tried restoring from my backup drive just before installing that deb package. I backed up /etc /root and /var. After recovering backup still got kernel panic.

I tried copying and overwriting /bin and /lib files from the live usb to the drive with some hope of restoring something (big mistake I guess). Still nothing. Then I came here to post this.

I use yay as AUR helper if this is relevant. I don’t remember installing more deb packages.

The deb package I was trying to install was for a program called mcuxpresso-ide which has that dependency.

Try reinstalling all native packages. So steps 1 to 3 as before then:

pacman -Qnq --root /mnt | pacman --root /mnt --cachedir=/mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg -S -

Then probably have to fix up file and directory permissions.

You can not install .deb packages on Arch.

After running command I get a bunch of:

 warning: <name of package> is up to date — reinstalling

Then I get an error:

loqs · 2021-11-05 01:13:03

Try a full system update at the same time as reinstalling all packages

pacman -Qnq --root /mnt | pacman --root /mnt --cachedir=/mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg -Syu -

Same error

loqs · 2021-11-05 01:27:57

pacman --root /mnt -Si lib32-libcap libpcap
pacman --root /mnt -Qi lib32-libcap libpcap

joaonunatings · 2021-11-05 01:37:23

First command:

error: package ‘lib32-libcap’ was not found

then prints info about libpcap

Second command prints name, version, desc, etc of lib32-libcap and libpcap

loqs · 2021-11-05 01:46:36

Did you disable multilib?

joaonunatings · 2021-11-05 01:57:18

I forgot to enable it, now I’m getting:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: unable to satisfy dependency ‘ncurses=6.3’ required by lib32-ncurses

loqs · 2021-11-05 01:59:56

Did you enable multilib-testing instead of multilib or if you have testing enabled you need multilib-testing enabled as well.

joaonunatings · 2021-11-05 02:24:50

I disabled multilib-testing. Executed your last command, got some errors during initcpios update:

==> ERROR: binary dependency ‘libf2fs.so.8’ not found for ‘/usr/bin/fsck.f2fs’
==> ERROR: binary dependency ‘libreiserfscore.so.0’ not found for ‘/usr/bin/fsck.reiserfs’
==> WARNING: errors were encountered during the build. The image may not be complete.
error: command failed to execute correctly

Same behavior after reboot (pam_shells(login:auth) error)

loqs · 2021-11-05 02:31:48

stat /mnt/etc/shells
pacman --root /mnt -Qo /usr/bin/fsck.reiserfs /usr/bin/fsck.f2fs

Change the permissions on /etc/shells and delete the two binaries you copied in from the live media

chmod 0644 /mnt/etc/shells
rm /mnt/usr/bin/fsck.reiserfs /mnt/usr/bin/fsck.f2fs
