I rebooted a while ago (and in between the down and up, I installed Fedora 20 Beta on a USB hard drive, making sure it wouldn't mess with my Centos system). The install went fine, but afterwards, when I reboot Centos, it comes up with a black screen and a clock as the mouse cursor (small clock).
chmod a+rw /dev/null chmod a+rw /dev/urandom chmod a+rw /dev/zero chmod a+rw /dev/full chmod a+rw /dev/random
Can anyone suggest an accurate way to have the system fix all the permissions in /dev? some arcane options on rpm, perhaps?
Nothing at all in the logs...?
Nothing I can see in the logs looks particularly damning.
Global check: rpm -qVa
running that right now, will post again if anything interesting turns up.
Maybe check udev confs...?
I was thinking of that, but the amount I know aobut udev wouldn't cover the head of a pin. Open to suggestions, though.
