[Solved] /proc directory vanishes

Post by ongoto »

Yo

Using Cinnamon LMDE 15

umount -la removes /proc directory. Can't use the system after that. Requires reboot.

No sure, but the manpage says this;

Code: Select all

       -a     All  of  the  file systems described in /etc/mtab are unmounted.
              (With umount version 2.7 and later: the proc filesystem  is  not
              unmounted.)
So either you have an earlier version or this is some regression in the version you have.

And it would help if you be specific about which version you have. There is no such thing as "LMDE 15"--you either have LMDE (a rolling release; as such doesn't have version numbers) or you have Linux Mint 15 (the 15th release of the main edition, having semiannual releases).

Thnx xenopeek for the quick reply.

I really dont know what to call this installation.

Code: Select all

/etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Linux Mint LMDE"
NAME="Linux Mint LMDE"
ID=linuxmint
ANSI_COLOR="1;31"

/etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint
DISTRIB_RELEASE=1
DISTRIB_CODENAME=debian
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="LMDE Cinnamon Edition"

/etc/issue
LMDE Cinnamon Edition \n \l

/etc/debian_version
wheezy/sid

/etc/linuxmint/info
RELEASE=1
CODENAME=debian
EDITION="Cinnamon 64-bit"
DESCRIPTION="LMDE Cinnamon Edition"
DESKTOP=Gnome
TOOLKIT=GTK
NEW_FEATURES_URL=http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_debian_whatsnew.php
RELEASE_NOTES_URL=http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_debian.php
USER_GUIDE_URL=http://www.linuxmint.com/documentation.php
GRUB_TITLE=LMDE Cinnamon 64-bit
My guess is the latest Mint 15 ?? fully updated.

According to the mount man page, the -l option should show labels in the output
"-l Add the labels in the mount output."
I just wont use it. Thanks again.

Well, that certainly looks like you are using LMDE--Linux Mint Debian Edition. Which is a rolling release and doesn't have version numbers. Linux Mint 15 is one of the releases of Linux Mint Main Edition, which has semiannual releases, and you're not using it. So call your system "LMDE Cinnamon".
