I accidentally deleted the symbol link /lib64/libc.so.6 -> /lib64/libc-2.12.so with
$ sudo rm libc.so.6
Then I can not use anything including ls
command. The error appears for any command I type
ls: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I've tried
$ export LD_PRELOAD=/lib64/libc-2.12.so
After this I can use ls
and ln ...
, but still can not use sudo ln ...
, sudo -E ln ...
, sudo su
or even su
. I always get this err
sudo: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
or
su: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It seems LD_PRELOAD
works only for the current shell session of my account, but not for a new account like root
or a new session.
It's a remote server so I can not use a live CD. I now have a ssh bash session alive but can not establish new ones. I have sudo privilege, but don't have root password.
So currently my problem is I need to run sudo sln -s libc-2.12.so libc.so.6
to re-create the symlink libc.so.6
, but I can not run sudo
without libc.so.6
.
How can I fix it? Thanks~
