speedpatch problem in xterm
 

-sh: /home/user/.bashrc: line 5: can't create /dev/cgroup/cpu/user/2989/tasks: nonexistent directory
-sh: /home/user/.bashrc: line 5: can't create /dev/cgroup/cpu/user/2989/notify_on_release: nonexistent directory


This is my problem.It started after i have uninstalled batterypatch and speedpatch.There was an error while removing speedpatch.After that even after 3 reboots ,i could not expel that error message.Even I have removed those lines from .bashrc file with leafpad.No go.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Regards.

Re: speedpatch problem in xterm
 

I had the same problem this morning, but it disappeared after:
1. created a new dir: /dev/cgroup/cpu/user
2. I may have rebooted once
I am not sure what made the problem disappear.
NB: the number changes constantly, so do not create that subfolder

Re: speedpatch problem in xterm
 

May i know what is the method to create that directory

Re: speedpatch problem in xterm
 

open terminal
cd /dev/cgroup
sudo mkdir cpu
cd cpu
sudo mkdir user

Does this help?

Re: speedpatch problem in xterm
 

Nokia-N900:/dev# cd cgroup
-sh: cd: can't cd to cgroup

I could not do that either being root or user.:D

Re: speedpatch problem in xterm
 

possibly also 'mkdir cgroup'

Maybe it's easier to open terminal, then:
root
cd /dev
mkdir cgroup
cd cgroup
mkdir cpu
cd cpu
mkdir user
You can see i am not a linux engineer ;-)

edit: pffff this does not even help myself unfortunately. I waited with this edit in order to find a solution first, but i cant. Sorry for false hope

Re: speedpatch problem in xterm
 

Thanks i did that.Now what.Reboot?


EDIT: still that bloody message rocks my beautiful xterminal.:cool:

Re: speedpatch problem in xterm
 

removing speedpatch :

apt-get purge speedpatch #as mentioned in the main thread and if you didn't do that then reinstall it and remove it

In the mean time my St.barnard jumped on to my laptop.Now the laptop touchpad is not responding.LOL.

Re: speedpatch problem in xterm
 

I did not mean to start a new thread initially.I power searched for that and tried atleast two methods.I will report back very soon.Thank you.

Re: speedpatch problem in xterm
 

I did exactly what it was stated in the firstpost of speedpatch thread.Rebooted.Still not solved.

installed speedpatch again.Then apt-get remove --purge speedpatch.I got this error message again.

dpkg - warning: while removing speedpatch, directory `/usr/local' not empty so not removed.

BTW karam Thank you again for your hacking tutorial.My N900 is complete with that.Even if I have to flash my device i dont mind.And I am not really blaming speedpatch at all.Thats my ignorance of not knowing what to do.

Re: speedpatch problem in xterm
 

The method suggested by karam,this time properly executed after getting my head out of my dumb ***,did the trick.Thank you all.

Re: speedpatch problem in xterm
 

I am not sure this is a solution: keeping speedpatch and making my .bashrc empty

cp .bashrc .bashrc_old
sudo nano .bashrc -> delete everything -> save

Now i have a fast and clean terminal with no error messages. Was this a stupid thing to do?
