Login prompt disappeared

I have Slitaz (rolling) running in a virtual machine for development purposes.

I have setup the box how I like it, but a while ago I noticed my login prompt has gone away. I can still access the box via SSH, but if something goes wrong with the network setup, I have no way to acces the box.

When I boot it, it goes through the usual starting procedure and stops at "Welcome to your box".

It does show a cursor and I can type things, but it doesn't do anything with it.

It has worked, but somehow stopped working a while ago. What could cause this, and how can I solve this?

Hi elwin,

Seems like this close to the topic: http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/libpng16so16-no-such-file-or-directory

Re: Login prompt disappeared

Hi elwin,

How much is "a while ago", approximately?

Are you talking about the graphical login screen to an X session, or the text login at the virtual console?

Re: Login prompt disappeared

I am not sure when it happened exactly, because I use ssh most of the time to work on the machine. If I would have to guess, I would say 3 to 4 weeks ago.

I am using the base login, text only, no graphical interface.

Re: Login prompt disappeared

After recent updates my system hangs on "Welcome to your box" green text for 4-5 seconds until

SliTaz GNU/Linux kernel

slitaz login:

if I set screen=text or before slim starts.

Downgrading busybox and disabling all run daemons,local.sh,network.sh didn't decrease the hang time.
