Fedora :: Accidentally Uninstalled Kernel?
Oct 2, 2009
I was removing the latest two kernels installed because of some issues with compiz and stuffs. And I accidentally removed the only kernel left too. Now, grub has only one entry for Windows. I used "yum remove kernel-.....". Now, I'm stuck, I don't want to re-install the system. It FC11 using LVM. Is there any way I can install re-install the kernel only. What I'm thinking of is copying the kernel image from a live fc11 or installing via rpm on maintenance mode if its possible.

So the other day my window list applet was somehow connected with a crash, and ubuntu asked me if I wanted to remove it. I accidentally clicked yes not realizing what it was, and now ubuntu does not list the windows open on a workspace at the bottom of the screen - terribly annoying! how to get this back? Poking through the software manager and synaptic and googling aren't helping.

I have an HP tx2500 tablet pc running 9.04, which I was trying to configure the tablet for using the .fdi method on this page. After I redid the .fdi file, I rebooted, and it gave me a flashing screen, similar to the one i got when I tried to install 9.10.
I tried going into recovery mode and using xfix: bad idea. Then, I tried installing envy and reinstalling the drivers from there. That failed as well.
So now, when I try to manually remove the ati packages,(from command line in recovery mode) it doesn't let me, because of some problem with "fglrx-kernel-source" I can't configure, remove, or purge.

When I first did my install of Slackware 13.37, I installed the 2.6.38.4 kernel from /testing.
I did a "upgradepkg testing/kernel*.t?z"
Well just now I realized that there was a kernel-headers package in /testing, and I've heard that you should only use the kernel headers that glibc was compiled with.
So did I make a mistake installing the kernel-headers from /testing?
And if I revert back to the stock kernel-headers package, will I have to recompile all the programs I've compiled with the 2.6.38.4 headers?

Originally I installed both GNOME and KDE. Later, grew tired of KDE and its applications making space on my menu, so I decided to uninstall it, using yum groupremove. I didn't notice that yum was also removing Network Manager and other programs needed by GNOME. Then, when I restarted the computer, it freezes before it could show the "user login". I'm able to access the Linux command line if I press F1 during loading, but I don't know what to do next! I tried to fix the GRUB configuration, but it didn't have any effect.

As I attempted to uninstall an MP3 decoder through the command line, I may have also uninstalled the boot loader to Fedora 13. I entered the command to uninstall the program as su - , left for a second, and upon my return I noticed a lot of things were being uninstalled. After canceling the process I turned of my computer and now when I try to start it, my computer freezes after the Fedora icon appears on the blue screen. After looking through the online manuals, I think I uninstalled the GRUB boot loader. I've been trying to reinstall it through the image on the DVD, but it keeps getting stuck on the blue screen. I use a Toshiba satellite with no partitions.

I was messing around with MySQL, trying to get MySQLi to install, and then, not sure how I did it, uninstalled MySQL completely. For some reason, I can't reinstall it either. It just says, no packages available.

I did a horrible mistake due to lapse in my concentration. Here is the 80 GB IDE disk geometry:
=> C: Windows XP SP2 15 GB partition
=> D: NTFS parition - 10 GB
=> E:F:G:H: NTFS partitions on the Windows Extended partition.
=> On the same Extended partition, there exists Linux /swap and /root partitions.
What happened was:
a) I wanted to delete the H: parition which was residing adjacent to Linux partition
b) By mistake I opened the Explorer and clicked the Mouse on H: partition and left it like that (forgot)
c) I opened Add/Remove program list but did nothing, to do few uninstalls after partition deletion.
d) Now I opened compmgmt.msc for Disk Management then deleted the H: partition!
Then XP reacted strangely and got almost hung
e) Then I switched OFF and ON the PC.
f) Most shocking was GRUB screen vanished (crash console appears) which means that Linux partition got deleted instead of H: partition!!
It's important to share with you that Fedora Core 12 possess the default BOOT flag. I thought that it's nothing big deal, only a case of Boot flag toggle with DOS bootable CD but am shell shocked to find after hitting the fdisk from DOS it says Error reading the disk!!! I felt like collapsed for a while, don't know how I did such a mistake. how to boot into my Windows XP. I can't afford to loose data or bear the expense on Data recovery

When trying to run google-chrome, I am getting:
error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so.1d: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
I am on a 64bit system and downloaded the 64bit google-chrome. I believe the error above means it is trying to use a 32bit library? That file is a symlink I made to /usr/lib/libnss3.so - why would this not be 64bit?

I just did something stupid... I wanted to remove a numeric prefix from a bunch of files in a folder (EXT4 filesystem), and I ran the following Python commands to rename the files:
Code:
import os
currentdir = os.getcwd()
[code]...

1. I accidentally removing /etc/fstab
2. reboot
3. It enter gdm/runlevel 5 though several warning complaining missing /etc/fstab (i can post the boot.log if it is needed)
4. I "touch /etc/fstab"
5. reboot (and cannot pass run level 2)
I can enter run level 1, but when after that if I "init 2" it is halted. Most of the boot message (after i create empty fstab with touch) is complaining about read only filesystem.
ps note:
1. I use LVM
2. I don't have access to a live cd until saturday
3. /etc/mtab is empty as well when i checked it in run level 1

the terminal and logged in as root i was changing file permissions and happened to change the root folder to 700. Now my icons have gone and i can't even access the terminal.
I was just wondering if it is possible to go to rescue mode using the cd and restore all the appropriate file permissions to root/ users if possible

What programs can be safely removed to free up space? I'm working with a 4GB SSD (actually 3.3GB) and Ubuntu itselfs takes 2.2GB and after updating it I only have 500MB left. I want to remove everything that can be removed (things like games and such).

I installed Adobe Reader from the repository, but didn't like it (it takes way to long to load a page evince does instantly).I've removed it with the package manager, purged it with apt-get, completely removed it with synaptic, and set the right click to always use evince; the thing is still the preferred program and double-clicking on a pdf still tries to use Adobe and fails every time. This is really annoying in that Chrome tries to use Adobe to open pdf files too, so now I have to open my download folder, right-click, click "open with", and click "document viewer" (all for something that used to take one click!)

I needed to get rid of apache2 on my Ubuntu. apt-get remove apache2All looked successful but... ps aux... Oh look it's still running. No matter, I thought, maybe I'll just restart (restart on Linux!? I must be mad!) and it'll just disappear. Nope, it still starts up like it always has.I could of course just manually remove it.... but it feels so untidy.

I installed Fedora 15 alongside Ubuntu, only to discover that it doesn't play nice with Ubuntu and this means that even though I formatted the Fedora Partition and made it into a new one, (i needed around a 7gb space for video editing files etc, so it is optimised for this). Anyway, that's off topic. Even though all traces of Fedora are gone, everyone time I go to boot from the HardDrive, it goes into Fedora's starting screen (the blue one with the loading icon) and then says it failed and gives a little command line.

Is there a way to find if a package is a dependency of some other package/s that you have installed it.
For instance, let's say there is a library called libkolabxml1
Now if I just install it and ask :-
Code: Select all$$ aptitude why libkolabxml1
Unable to find a reason to install libkolabxml1.
But I remember it being useful/needed somewhere.

I have updated my Windows from Vista to 7. I knew that this would mess up my GRUB so that it wouldn't show on boot. However, it seems as if my GRUB has uninstalled.
I have tried to reinstall it with a Live CD but this didn't work. Maybe I was doing something wrong. I'm sorry if I'm asking a question that has already been posted but I could only find ways to make your GRUB reappear, not reinstall it.
I'm stuck with Windows 7 for a week or two now and I really want to get back to using Ubuntu!

I was trying to setup a static IP and the first stage was to uninstall Network Manager. Done. Great, now I have no internet to see what the next stage is.
For about 3 hours now I've been farting about trying to install Wicd without an internet connection but has proved fruitless.
Basically, how do I install Wicd without a connection? Or reinstall Network Manager?
I'm running 10.04.

thought i'd try the firefox add on noscripts. didn't like it, uninstalled. now it is blocking things regardless and seemingly randomly. the forums for instance are a dog's breakfast.
why is this thing still ambling around like an aimless zombie? occasionally firefox just locks up and all i can do is shut it down. when i restart the machine or logout it makes no diff. the aimless noscripts zombie still lurks, playing havoc with my web experience.
any suggestions on how to completely kill this beast would be more than welcome. this machine runs smooth as and rock solid generally. the last thing i expected was some add-on bomb completely screwing things over. cheers.
edit: hmm, just had a thought. seems like java is not working so i look in add-ons and java add-ons seem to be uninstalled also. i'll have a tweak and get back ...
edit 2: when i go to videos, there are no thumbnails of the vids, just white squares and text, yet when i click a vid it plays without a problem. what the heck is happening? i don't believe that add-on could create so much havoc ... i didn't even make any changes to noscripts! installed it and visited about five websites then uninstalled.

Somehow I lost the clock in the panel; maybe I uninstalled some packages related to the clock.
Anyone know which package I should install?
