Darwin/BSD Command Prompt after Logging into OSX 10.2.4

I just installed OSX 10.2.4 and after I log in, it sends me to a black command prompt which says the following:
Darwin/BSD (Macintosh.local.) (console)
Login:
I tried using the login and password I use at the OSX login screen, but it doesnt work.
Any Ideas?

jtmhsk:
If you do a search on Darwin, you will find that ther are many questions and three or four basic solutions offered, not all of which work in every case.
In your case, since you have a new installation, I suggest that make sure you have a good backup, then reformat, zero all data, re-install the OS, and restore your data.
To reformat, zero and re-install:
Boot from the install CD holding down the "C" key.
Select language
Go to the Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.
Select Partition tab in main panel. (You are about to create a single partition volume.)
Select 1 partion in pulldown menu above Volume diagram.
Type in name in Name field (usually Macintosh HD)
Select Volume Format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Click Partition button at bottom of panel.
Select Erase tab
Select the Macintosh volume under Manufacturer ID.
Select on Security Options button.
Select Zero all data.
(This process will map out bad blocks on your HDD. However, it could take several hours. If you want a quicker method, don't go to Security Options and just click the Erase button.)
Quit Disk Utility.
Open installer and begin installation process.
Choose to Customize and deselect Foreign Language Translations and Additional Printer drivers.
Check box to install X11.
Proceed with installation.
After installation computer will restart for setup.
After setup, reboot computer.
Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.
Select First Aid in main panel.
Click Repair Disk Permissions.
Connect to Internet.
Go to Apple Menu > Software Update.
Install all updates.
Computer will restart after updates.
Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.
Select First Aid in main panel.
Click Repair Disk Permissions.
Please do not hesitate to post back should you have further questions or comments.
Good luck.

  • Can't stop getting Darwin/BSD login; can't log in or start up in Safe Mode

    Hi. I'm on an iBook G4 and I think I'm running OS 10.4.1 but I'm unsure. When I turned on my computer tonight, the grey screen popped up, but instead of going to my normal login screen, it went to the black Darwin/BSD screen.
    After searching the Support site here as well as Googling, I logged into the Darwin screen and did... something with fsck. At the #root prompt, I typed in /sbin/fsck/ -fy. The screen said that if I wanted to continue checking, I needed to type in "-f", I think, so I did... It said there were "overlapping extent allocation errors" and then it said that it had repaired something. But it didn't say the hard disk "appeared to be okay."
    I then (foolishly?) tried to restart my computer in Safe Mode, but it booted in Darwin again.
    I then tried to log back into the Darwin screen, but this time it didn't let me -- I type in my username and password and it tells me my password is incorrect. So now I'm worried that I screwed something up during my adventures in fsck.
    I also am unable to find the disk that came with my iBook (I honestly don't remember an OS X disk coming with my iBook, but it must've), so I can't reboot from the disk.
    I have a desktop G4 with an older version of OS X (10.3, I think)... I'm not sure if I can use that to do Target Disk Mode for this problem or not. (That computer also doesn't have internet access; I'm typing right now from my sister's PC.)
    Help?

    Juhme:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    First, I suggest that you try this fix suggested by Michael Conniff in this thread.
    Next, since it is possible that the fix may not work for you, and you may need to re-install or Archive and Install, you will need to have install disks. Tiger can be purchased from the Apple Store or, on CDs, from applerescue.
    If you do not have a backup of your data, yes, using Firewire Target Disk Mode will be one way to rescue your data at this point. If you need assistance with this please post back.
    Good luck.

    Hi
    The portal display creates problem when you try to access the portal using the IPADDRESS instead of the host name for the portal.
    What you can do is make a entry in the hosts file for the portal server and then try to access the portal using the name given in the hosts file.
    http://servername:<port>/irj
    servername is the entry which you have given in the hosts file.
    Dont use the IPAddress while accessing the portal, if by chance you are using it.
    This shoud solve your problem.

  • Blank page after logged into portal system

    Hi,
    After logged into our portal system, we are getting blank page with white space. This is not quite common for all users, few users able to view screens at portal systems.
    Please help me to resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Srinias

    Srinivas,
    Looks like the users not seeing anything have roles which does not have any content in them. Take any of these users and look for assigned roles in 'User Administration'. If there is no content assigned to these roles then assign some relevant content, else make these users part of the group that other users seeing content are part of.
    Hope this helps.

  • Connect to Bex query after logging into Web service

    Hello experts,
    After logging into the web service, I see connections for all HANA and BW infoProviders.
    If I click HANA OLAP connection, I see the "next" button. If I click connections to BW InfoProviders, the "Next" button is grayed out, I only have "OK" to click which takes me to the infoProvider.
    I know if I choose "Local System", I can log into BW and find BEx queries.
    Is this by design? Can't we get list of Bex queries under the connection we highlight somehow?
    Thanks.

    Hi Terry - I am not really following this workflow (could be just me)
    Did someone create OLAP connections to BW in the CMC?  Could you use the camera icon to share your screen shots?

  • How do I update my credit card information after logging into my account?

    How do I update my credit card info after logging into my account?

    Reader doesn't need your credit card. You can sign into your account in the Adobe store and look in at your subscriptions. There may be something there to store your card information if you have a subscription service.

  • Logging into OSX Tiger from Vista

    I can log into Tiger from my Win2000 machine, but I'm having trouble logging into OSX Tiger from Vista.
    I got 1/2 way in using the login format:
    Computername@login_name
    And pass
    - so it shows all Tiger drives - but then could not open a drive...
    Any Ideas how to login in?

    Had the same problem with Vista and OS X 10.2.8 and 10.4.8 sometime ago and found this solution somewhere in a forum:
    If any of you are having problems with Vista logon to NAS devices running Samba, try:
    Run secpol.msc (type it in the Vista start menu search field)
    Go to: Local Policies > Security Options
    Find “Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level”
    Change Setting from “Send NTLMv2 response only”
    to
    “Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated”
    Vista defaults to only send the more secure NTLMv2 protocol, which these NAS devices / Samba do not support.
    Hope this helps - worked for me....

  • After FF 30.0 update - unable to process shipments on USPS . com after logging into usps acct

    I am able to log into my usps . com account, but after updating to FF 30.0, I am unable to process a shipment. I am able to enter all info (sender/shipping address/pkg type/shipping date/insurance) and when I attempt to "add to cart" - I get kicked back asking for my ship date. Doesn't matter which shipping address I use or which shipping date I use or which type of package selected - I am unable to process the shipment. I clear my cache regularly. I was able to process a shipment today via (gasp) Safari. I, unfortunately, spent time on the phone with USPS . com t/s, but they could not offer advice other than to clear my cache. Any ideas?
    Mac OSX 10.9.3
    FF 30.0

    Is the UPS shipping a web form that you fill out, once logged into an acct? Short of form fill data being left in Firefox, it sounds like a conflict between the site / form, & Fx 30. Not unusual.
    Start Fx in safe mode & try w/o any addons, plugins. If fixes it, you'll need to create new profile & reinstall each, a couple at a time - checking the site function after each.
    If safe mode does NOT fix it, I'd completely uninstall Fx from Control Panel, starting w/ the latest version listed, then reboot, then uninstall the next most recent, etc., rebooting after each uninstall.
    Then delete any remaining Fx program files - in all Fx folders.
    Reinstall a fresh copy of Fx 30. Before installing, close every single thing you can, incl. any AV / FW - everything. DISconnect from the web while installing.

    I would redefine com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.default component for your purpose

    so WDJ is not really an option here.
    To store whether display T&C screen you can use custom attribute on user profile

    //Check value in user profile whether he accepted T&C this year

  • Safari will not load pages after logging into certain sites

    Mac OS X 10.4.11, Safari 3.1 running on a Power Macintosh G4 "Quicksilver" 2002. All software updates are installed.
    After I log into certain web sites (Apple Support Discussions being one of them), Safari simply stops loading pages. It will "try" briefly but each page comes up blank. In fact, they don't even appear to download.
    This has been going on for a while now. I can't even remember when it started. I have done fresh installations of Mac OS X on to a clean disk to try and solve the problem. This has not resulted in any improvement. I am not using any extensions or modifiers.
    As an experiment, I've tried a few Webkit Nightly Builds. Those did not work any better.
    On some sites, such as eBay, Safari will put an empty file on the desktop. eBay is a prime example--after I sign in, an empty file called eBayIsapi.dll appears on the desktop.
    Seemingly this has been reported other places. What I didn't find was a fix. Is there anything that can be done to resolve this problem?

    I've just given up after several versions of Safari doing the same thing. It seems to be a bad interaction with Websense web filtering blocking some things that Safari expects to be able to download and process.
    I don't even use Safari any more because of this.

  • T520: White screen a few seconds after logging into Windows

    Starting yesterday, when I log into my computer 10-15 seconds after loading the desktop the screen goes completely white and is unresponsive. The only thing that makes it go away (sometimes) is ctrl-alt-del and telling the system to log off. As soon as it starts to try to log off and asks me if I want to force close certain programs I have to cancel the whole log off, otherwise I'll just end up logging in and the whole process starts over again. I've noticed that it seems as though a slideshow of my desktop background starts up and then just crashes, because occasionally that image appears before the white screen of doom.
    Any ideas?
    My specs:
    Windows 7 Home Premium x64-bit
    Intel i7-2760QM @ 2.40Ghz
    8 GB RAM

    There are malware programs that cause those symptoms. (like Trojan Reveton) First, I would download an offline virus scanner. I tend to use Microsoft offline defender, because it tends to work and it's free. You will need to download the ISO and burn a disk. You need to download either the 32-bit version, or, more likely, the 64-bit version, depending on your OS.  You then boot from the disk you created and run the long scan.
