Hello,
I realize that this is a (somewhat) common error after upgrade, but I am not able to fix it and am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction.
I used freebsd-upgrade to upgrade from 8.0-RELEASE to 8.1-RELEASE (amd64). Unfortunately because of timing freebsd-upgrade ran overnight and the next morning I was presented with having to go through every file in /etc with an editor. I now realize that I probably missed an important message. I never was presented with a merged file and every file had both a 8.0 header and a /usr/obj/src header, but not a 8.1 header. Instead of running mergemaster after that (which maybe I should have done?) I continued along the directions and upon reboot spent two days updating my ports collection. After this I ran [CMD="freebsd-update"]install[/CMD], but it said there was nothing to do (I was a bit concerned). Upon reboot I now receive the errors that others have reported after not running mergemaster:
and more kdm-bin errors later. So I then rebooted into single user mode and mounted the systems and ran mergemaster. Still the same problem upon reboot. I copied my original master.passwd and group files over, recreated the passwd file and then ran mergemaster and still the same login errors.
Is there a way to redo the upgrade from single user mode using freebsd-upgrade? Or is there a way to fix the login problem without an upgrade? Must I reinstall the system and spend another three days installing all the ports?
Thank you for your patience.
