I've tried to install apache and php with emerge ... after a while, emerge stops (back to the shell) and my computer stops (freezes). Since that moment, i could not install any programs because emerge just freeze the computer when i call it... I'm sorry, but i don't know how it has arrived... I've you got a solution, or should i re-install gentoo ? best, Laurent
*** Bug 6327 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
what version of emerge ? if its the latest (2.0.27) then try running `strace emerge <cmd>` if you dont have strace, you need to emerge it ... but since you cant, hop on irc and start asking people (irc.openprojects.net #gentoo) ... and if im alive when you come on ill help you
check your /tmp directory for a file called sandboxpid please remove those files, and try again.
laurent -- any luck?
laurent, did that work or not?
please re-open this bug if the problem persists. since there is no communication from the bug reporter, I am resolving this.
ugh, I need to comment just to reopen this.
laurent reported that it was an xfs issue. He umounted /var, fsck'd it, remounted, and had no further issues.
