<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Kira at 14/01/13 15:58 did gyre and gimble:
&gt;<i> I had a machine installed mga3 alpha3 and wanna update
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> it to catch up. But the update sequence stopped at rtkit
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> package and it just down go on for about 1 hr.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> If I kill the update process and go on, even though
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> it seemed to go smooth to do another urpmi  --auto-update ,
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> but then I lost ability to login/access filesystem then
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> total failure of the desktop. I still can change the tty1~tty7
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> but I can do nothing: only the mouse move, but no way to control
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> anything or login into textmode.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Anyone please check it?
</I>
Chances are some package has written /run/nologin file.

This can happen if you run &quot;systemd-tmpfiles --create&quot; which perhaps
some package might still do in it's %post....

A reboot should clear out this problem. I'm not 100% sure but I think
root logins should also still be allowed even with a nologin file...
could be wrong tho'.
