Strange problems, maybe related to glibc6
I have a fresh installation of Testing, and I start to will tell from where
it starts.
When the system boots up, it hangs at starting ntop, (actually not hangs
just waits forever) removing ntop only postpones the errors.
If I bypass starting up ntop, the problem will manifest after a while,
normally it walks trough the runlevel and gdm starts up fine and I can work
for a very short period of time.
However, after a while, some programs tend to hang. When this happens I can
no longer log in as root. (It hangs) And then on a working root terminal,
which I had already, if I try 'su' it asks for the password and after I
press enter, noting happens, just goes to the next line. Ctrl+c get me back
to the prompt.
I am puzzled, I had Debian working for a long time and last week I started
to get the problems, looks like out of nowhere actually.
I have seen an old post located here which is very similar and related to
libc6, could this be the problem? Located here
http://lists.debian.org/debian-glibc/2003/11/msg00289.html . However, it is
dated 2003.
I'm stuck and this problem renders my system unusable, any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Kozy.
