Give root password for maintenance (or press Control-D... [Solved]

[twister]

I was playing with a tool on Linux. Eventually I have changed something.
From then on, every time I boot up my computer, it pauses with the following message:

Give root password for maintenance
(or press Control-D to continue)

I need to press Ctrl+D and then Linux boot continues.

How can I turn it off and let OS to boot up to the login screen without pauses?

We are going to need your computer’s complete profile before we can proceed, so you need to post the output from the QSI utility. The Quick System Info (QSI) utility is located in MX Tools and its output is automatically formatted for use here in the forum. Run the QSI utility, click “Copy for Forum” at the bottom and then just paste it here in your thread.

Live session: GParted => right click on MX root partition : "Check" .. apply

(... on other partitions, too while you're at it, and if you like only)

I did that with all partitions but it didn't help.
Linux still stops midway to login screen

Code: Select all

sudo mkdir /etc/inittab.d

It also complains about iwlwifi firmware, but we still don't have the QSI.

(... ah, that "yoyo.bin" again :) .. do you have any conf files in /etc/modprobe.d/ regarding iwlwifi? If yes, contents please)


If no such files:

Code: Select all

echo 'options iwlwifi enable_ini=0' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

Reboot.

One of the entries in my /etc/fstab was incorrect.
Hitting control-d was followed by a "loading kernel modules" message and then by fstab error.
I thought that fstab had nothing to do with that prompt as it came up later in the flow.
Thanks for your posts.
