Hello, I need help. When I re-enabled the selinux, it asked me if you
want to relabel the system, I said no. Now I can't start or shutdown
the computer.
What are the ways to get my computer back?
I just booted the computer. Didn't do anything. What I am getting is as follows:
*** An error occurred during the file system check.
*** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot
*** when you leave the shell.
*** Warning --SELinux is active
*** Disabling security enforcement for system recovery.
*** Run 'setenforce 1' to reenable.
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue):
Once I type the root password, I get a shell like this:
(Repair filesystem) 1#
Any suggestion on going about disabling from this terminal or setting
the "selinux=0" in what file?
I did echo 0 >/selinux/enforce.
I tried to open the "/etc/selinux/config" and tried setting it to
"SELINUX=permissive", but I can't write to it. I get something like
this:
W10: Warning: Changing a readonly file
E303: Unable to open swap file for "/etc/selinux/config", recovery impossible.
I have tried this also, "/boot/grub/grub.conf" and on the kernel line,
added enforcing=0 at the end. But I can't write to the file. Same as
before regarding readonly and unable to open swap file.
What about "newrole -r sysadm_r" command? sysadm_r command I have to
worry about? I tried "newrole -r sysadm_r" on the shell after logging
in as root, but it doesn't recognize the command "newrole".
Unable to open swap file is coming from vi editor:
Unable to open swap file for "{filename}", recovery impossible
Vim was not able to create a swap file. You can still edit the file, but if
Vim unexpected exits the changes will be lost. And Vim may consume a lot of
memory when editing a big file. You may want to change the 'directory' option
to avoid this error. See |swap-file|.
Even when I edit the file vi, changes made are not saved. Any suggestions?
thnx,
joey
