Boot up fail. Fedora
Hi All,
back again , and as far out of my depth as usual. :-).
Problem...
An NEC Versa laptop running Fedora Moonshine was plugged into a broadband connection in error, I wasn't there at the time but the pluggie reports that he "thinks" the machine did some reconfiguring .

The end result is that the machine goes through a normal boot up procedure up to the point
where it would normally bring up the log on screen.At that point it just sits and spins its little wheel....apparently for as long as your happy to let it.

I'v been through all the log messages and can find no startling errors although I may be missing something of significance through inexperience.

The machine ,on start up has in the start up screen the following ? error ? message...

Starting PC/SC Smartcard daemon (pcscd) : (Traceback most recent call last)
File "/usr/sbin/setroubleshootd", line 71 in <module>
from setroubleshoot.server import RunFaultServer
File " /usr/lib/python 2.5/site-packages/setroubleshoot/server.py", line 35 in <module>
From setroubleshoot.analyse.import
File " /usr/lib/python 2.5/site-packages/setroubleshoot/anylyse.py",line 35 in <module>
From setroubleshoot.avc_audit.import "
File " File " /usr/lib/python 2.5/site-packages/setroubleshoot/
from setrouble.signature import AVC. AvcContex

Value Error Bad Marshall Data :

The above might not be dead accurate as I'm typing from computer to computer as the stuff rushes by on the screen.Is there any log in which this stuff is recorded word for word ?
Have had a good look and can't find it.

Well
Any help GREATLY appreciated
Regards
Gaspode

Hi gaspode,

Has the pluggie tried plugging it into its original plug in connection point rather than the broadband connection point since this happened?

Hi,
Yes he has , or at least I have,wouldn't trust this lad to boot a dead cat right now :-) .

I have discovered that I can boot in single user mode and get a command line.This is progress.
Thanks for taking the time to reply, will keep you posted.
Regards
G.
