Topic: I ruined my "CONSOLE"

[AaronG]

Hi Guys,

I was exploring around on a server that I have running SME v7 pre1. I was using MC (Midnight commander) to browse the hard drive structure etc.

I stumbled into the /sbin/e-smith/console-menu-items/ folder where i proceeded to try and look at the contents of some of the files contained within...

now when i am using SSH and type CONSOLE at CLI I get the following error:

Code: [Select]

What have I done?? What does the * mean which is next to a file's name in MC???

Can I fix this?

I was thinking about wiping it and starting with a new install of PRE1... I originally loaded beta8, but subsequent updates have made a few bugs which are yet to be resolved but won't exist if I just install pre1 by it's self. (Long story, I won't go into it)

But anyway? HAve i killed my console???

I have only been working remotely with this server, I can't see the "Console" using SSH, and I think it is highly likely that I won't be able to use the terminal at the server its self.


Thanks in advance

if logging in via ssh, log in using admin and the password for root and you will get the console.....

thanks cc_shavenger.

I have did know about logging in using ADMIN... I get the same error.

I have also got the error when using the actual console (not via ssh)

I have since wiped the server and installed a fresh copy of SMEv7 pre1

Thanks for your reply
