It looks bad.  I believe slapd (the LDAP server) is not running for some
reason.  (Could be a DB corruption)

To gain access: you can shutdown, insert SD card into desktop/laptop and
set the password inside the SD card for 'fbx' user using `passwd
--root=/mount/path fbx`.  Then boot the FreedomBox and login via SSH
using 'fbx' user.

After that check why slapd is not running:

$ systemctl status slapd

$ systemctl start slapd
(if not already running)

$ systemctl status slapd
$ journalctl -xe
$ journalctl -u slapd
