Fedora :: Deleted /usr/lib By Accident?
Dec 28, 2010
I accidentally deleted /usr/lib , by trying to delete a file from that directory, i didnt notice there was a blank space before the file i wanted to delete , so i had to reinstall fedora 14 again but it's ok because i just installed fedora yesterday.The question is if i can just make a backup of the whole directory /usr/lib , and other important directories and if something goes wrong , can i just copy and paste to their respective directories ? will that restore system stability or will it crash because of time stamps or anything like that.

Like the title suggests, I accidentally deleted the 'Accessories' sub-menu from the 'Edit Menu' menu. Is there an easy way to recover the shortcuts from that sub-menu without re-creating everything from scratch? I don't even remember all the apps that were in there.

A while ago, I removed a .repo file without thinking; it was late, and I was messing with stuff I am using Fedora 15 x64. The repository I removed was fedora-updates-testing.repo

My Acer notebook has a button that can disable the wireless network device when pressed. Since it is near the ESC key, sometimes I press it on accident, especially when editing something with Vim. When I press the wireless switch to enable the device again, nothing happens. Using the command ifconfig wlan0 up results in the following error:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132
Rebooting and logging on linux again didn't solve anything. I had to log into windows. The device started out disabled, then pressing the button reenabled the device. I'd like to be able either to reenable wireless at will, or outright disable the wireless switch button.

I accidentally unplugged my usb drive before unmounting it. In windows this is no big deal, so I'm used to that. However, I'm finding that in Kubuntu 10.04 this is a big deal. Now I can't mount any other drives unless I use the command line. Also, I can't unmount anything, even if I mount it on the command line.
What do i do? I know a reboot will fix this, but if it happens again i will be right back at this point. It should not take a full reboot just to unmount a drive. I have tried umount -l and umount -f and the terminal window just hangs.

1. Install kernel: see #2 (I make it with kernel file in /var/cache/apt/archive)
After installation of kernel, there may be some problems:
2. Win7 disappear in the grub: see the content below "Not see Windows 7: ", #6
3. Cannot connect to the network: see #8.
Quote: While trying to remove old kernels, I delete all of them by accident!!! There're now only two "Memory test" and a "win7" in the grub. Since there's lots of data on the disk, and I have no idea how to keep them safe if reinstalling the system, so I really hope not to do that.
Then I enter Ubuntu 10.10 cd, and sudo apt-get install a kernel (three 2.6.35 or so, of which two with "generic" and not, and one with "image"), everything seems OK. And I guess what I did really changed the system, since the source_list file in the /etc/apt/ did be changed. But the grub still has only 3 options. What else should I do to add the newly installed kernel to the grub? Or What should I do while I delete all kernels by accident?

I searched the forum with various terms and didn't find anything, so my apologies if this is a common and/or newbie problem.It seems that when I have a USB driveplugged in to switch the files around, those that I delete are still taking up space. I first noticed it with a Chinese MP3 player and thought it was the player being crappy. I could still play all the songs that were supposedly gone. Today, I noticed it with a little thumb drive that I've had for years. I plugged it into my husband's computer running winXP, and the files showed up in a weird, unusable form. I was able to delete them for real.

So I installed F12 x86_64 version the other day. Everything was going okay. So today I signed on to my windows 7 instead. While I was on it. I was looking at the extra space I had allocated for F12. Well I thought I was going to delete that but I actually deleted the F12 partition. This means that I don't have a MBR anymore. Is there anyway I can get my original MBR back onto my windows 7? I'm going to buy a separate hard drive to install windows 7 later. I just would like to know if I really screwed up by deleting F12. If this helps, it did switch my bootloader from the main MBR in 7, to grub. I tried EasyBCD to reinstall it but it keeps say it failed.

I'm new to Linux and Fedora. I installed Fedora a short while ago and inadvertently deleted the top panel that lists the applications, files, etc. How can I get this back? I can't even access the terminal because that was listed under applications.

I'm trying to install windows xp on a hard drive that has fedora installed. When I booted the windows xp cd, it would get stuck on a blank black screen after displaying the words ""Setup is inspecting your hardware configuration."I searched for that problem and the solution to it seemed to be to clear the mbr. I tried doing that in fedora from the terminal using: dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda1 bs=446 count=1That didn't work. I kept getting this message:0+0 records in0+0 records out0 bytes (0 B) copied, 2.2978e-05 s, 0.0 kB/sAt this point, I backed up all my data in fedora thinking that I would delete the fedorainstallation and start anew with xp and then reinstall fedora.
I had an old slackware cd around that I thought I could use to run fdisk from and delete the partitions for fedoraen I did that I found that it wouldn't recognize anypartitions. I kept trying to print out the partition table and it would display nothing.But I can view the partition table when I run fdisk from the terminal in fedoraUnfortunately I lost the cds I used to install fedora long ago and I don't have any blank cds that I could write isos to. So, my question is would there be any disastrous consequences if I deleted the fedora partitions from the terminal while running fedora?

I am using Fedora 10 on my laptop. For some applications i still have windows XP installed. Because of the fact that Windows has to be reinstalled once a year (it's only windows ) I deleted the MBR accidentely. Now I can't start Fedora again.When I start Linux using the Installation CD of Fedora 10 my partition is not mounted automatically because I am using LVM.
fdisk /dev/sda gives

I am trying to setup DNS domain name in my server (Fedora), which has static ip address.First, I put the DNS domain name in system-config-network->DNS->DNS search path. After restarting the network, it is deleted automatically.second, so I put the DNS domain name in /etc/resolv.conf as search mydomainname . After network restart, it is also deleted automatically.In both case domain name did not work (i.e, I can't connect to my server from outside using domain name, I can by ip address, internet is working fine).However, I found that the domain name is written in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 with search=mydominaname.

I have a Laptop where I installed both Fedora 11 and windows 7 dual boot.
While I was upgrading Fedora 11 to Fedora 14 using preupgrade, I tried to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst file to make an option to continue upgrading the system after rebooting.
Accidentally, I deleted the file content and I couldn't restore it
I knew then that I'll face a problem when I reboot the system, and I faced it >> the grub selection menu disappeared , and only the line (grub> ) appeared when I reboot the system.
1- These commands:
Code:
But when I rebooted , nothing changed and the same (grub> ) appeared again.
2- I used the instructions in the PDF attached, but unfortunately nothing changed.
I think that I have to rewrite the menu.lst and grub.cnf files but I'm not expert and I don't know exactly what was there (locations , commands , etc. )
The current system monitor for the file system is shown in the next image:

I have recently been helping my brother set up his computer with a fresh install of Fedora 11. Unfortunately things have not been going all that well. After having some problems with Fedora 11, such as it not liking his monitor and disabling Plymouth's graphical boot (I actually like to see what my systems doing!) things finally seemed to be going into place. Unfortunately the next day we were no longer able to log into his account. After hours of tweaking I finally found out it was that for some reason GNOME stopped liking his account.
This is where things went from bad to worse. I tired removing his own account and giving him a new one, unwittingly taking out his home directory in the process, all 80 gigabytes of it. And just as promised ext4 was extremely quick about it. What can I do to recover it? We have done similar things on NTFS on Windows XP, so I see no reason why a next-gen file-system like ext4 can't do it.

I was trying to install a program and then I tried to mv comman (which I probably did wrong) but to make it short I am pretty sure I deleted the directory. I made another Downloads directory using mkdir but whenever I download anything now I have no idea where it goes.

I have Fedora 10 and I'd been holding out on updating to 11 and now 12 is out. It popped up asking me to update so I decided to finally update. When I come back to it, it said /boot was running low on memory and that I should delete an old kernel to free up space. Well shouldn't the updater have deleted fedora 10? Sorry I'm new to all this linux stuff. What should I do now?

As the title states, I deleted my /boot folder on one of my F14 installations. I'll have to fix it later. I have F14 under VirtualBox on the same computer. I'd bet I can copy from there and be OK.
