You need to add the home= and opt= boot options as described in the wiki and book first.

Thank you. I added "home=sda1" and "opt=sda1" to the APPEND line of extlinux.conf, rebooted, and now x starts properly, everything seems to be fine and it's much more fast.

Now remove opt and home from /opt/.filetool.sh and do a safe backup.

I removed opt and home from /opt/.filetool.lst, saved the file, rebooted and the changes remain (opt & home are not in filetool.lst). After all, a safe backup has already been done, hasn't it?

I wanted to delete the "lang=" option from extlinux.conf and by mistake I deleted "home=" & "opt=" options two. Now I have added them again, but I have two different /opt and two /home directories.

It is not possible to have two directories with the same name.

It seems you are right. The problem seems to be different. The usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf file has gone. How to create it again?

Xorg does not require config files.
I said to do a safe backup, so your mydatabk.tgz should have all your backup files prior to your opt and home assignment.
I recommend browsing the file with mc.

There was a /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf file like this:

Code: [Select]
Section "InputClass"
Identifier       "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard  "yes"
        Option           "xkb_model" "pc105"
Option           "XkbLayout"   "gr,us"
Option           "XkbOptions"  "grp:alt_shift_toggle,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection

Now there's not.

filetool.lst was:

Code: [Select]
usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf
Now it is:

Code: [Select]
opt
home

I try to delete opt & home and add usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf to make it as it was, but when I go to backup and reboot, I get the message:

Code: [Select]
Errors occured during backup!
See: /tmp/backup_status

I see /tmp/backup_status:

Code: [Select]
tar: usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf: No such file or directory
tar: error exit delayed from previous errors

Then I try to delete all contents of filetool.lst, but when I go to to backup and reboot I get again:

Code: [Select]
Errors occured during backup!
See: /tmp/backup_status

I see /tmp/backup_status:

Code: [Select]
tar: empty archive
I installed mc, but:

Code: [Select]
tc@box:~$ mc
Failed to run:
Cannot create /home/tc/.local/share/mc directory
tc@box:~$

Hi andfree
I try to delete opt & home and add usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf to make it as it was, but when I go to backup and reboot, I get the message:

Code: [Select]
Errors occured during backup!
See: /tmp/backup_status

I see /tmp/backup_status:

Code: [Select]
tar: usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf: No such file or directory
tar: error exit delayed from previous errors

It sounds like you didn't create the  /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf  file prior to running your backup.

Hi Rich.
Yes, I deleted the /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf somehow and I couldn't remember how I had created it. Finally I found it:

Code: [Select]
sudo touch /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf
After that I edited it as I wrote at my previous post, I added it at filetool.lst and removed from there opt & home. After all, I was able to backup and reboot.
