Holy crap, that's what's happening?
It took me hours to figure out that the failed boot was caused by the `/var` symlink being removed. I was literally a minute away from reinstalling the OS when I saw a post from 2014 that had a passing reference to the `/var` symlink.
Then I went through and disabled every conceivable startup program, and even created a bash script to fix `/var` when it randomly disappeared. I didn't even consider that it could be Chrome causing it.
This all happened with SIP enabled, btw.
- kovrik 7y agoHow come SIP didn't catch it? Is Chrome asking for a root access during installation?
- J5892 7y agoI have no idea. After I fixed the issue, I even tried disabling SIP, then enabling it again. It's still randomly removing the symlink. (well, as of last night around 10pm. I haven't opened the computer since then) That computer has been through a lot, though. So it's totally possible that I did something stupid to permafuck SIP.
- NobodyNada 7y agoWhen you recreated the symlink, did you add the SIP flags to it? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21066472 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21066472
