[SOLVED] Problem with "su" and "login".

Hi, I reinstalled Arch Linux today when I updated "filesystem" and reboot appeared an error with root device, but I solved with installation CD.

I restarted laptop after solving error with root device when I went to XFCE4 and open a terminal I tried to login as root with "su" and "su -" but showed this error:

bash: su: command not found

So I rebooted to start in text mode.

When loaded SLIM I press ctrl+alt+F1 to enter text mode.

I type root to login but did'nt appear to enter the pass, appeared again to enter login. I tried type my user but did the same.

Someone can help me?

Thanks!

Maybe you should stop doing upgrades with --force. Reinstall util-linux.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with "su" and "login".

Thank you falconindy. I upgrade with --force because I search in Google the problem show "filesystem" when I tried install and I read that solution is upgrade "filesystem" with --foce.

I tried to reinstall util-linux and now works. Thank you!
