General :: Reinstall Software If Internet Is Down?
Apr 8, 2011
I accidentally wrecked my internet connection by uninstalling some part of KDE that controlled the network. (How am I here? I used a liveCD to get online.) Since the only way I know how to install any Linux software is via the internet, how am I supposed to reinstall the needed network software if I can't get online to get it? The only solution I know is to reinstall the entire distro.
I wish I could use my distro's liveCD to reinstall software without reinstalling the entire distro, but if that's possible, I've never known how.

I was trying to configure a wireless network for my pc and it ended in a mess and now I dont see anywhere the wifi icon (yes, I have already tried "add notifications")
The thing is that it seems the whole network manager is not longer there
I have downloaded the package to reinstall it (Im writing now from a friend's pc) without sucess, because network manager needs other packages who are supossed to be downloaded from the internet while the installation, but I do not have Internet!

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64 bit. I deleted network manager so that I could install wicd but did not install wicd first so now I have no internet. I have read several post and the answer for me is not there.

I had a dual install of Windows and Ubuntu working for a good week, then I reinstalled Ubuntu, completely wiping the machine. My connection is greatly reduced--updates take hours to install, but internet surfs okay.
Code:
mieum@mieum-1000HE:~$ sudo ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:24:8c:29:5e:4b
inet addr:59.17.55.227 Bcast:59.17.55.255 Mask:255.255.255.224
inet6 addr: fe80::224:8cff:fe29:5e4b/64 Scope:Link

I accidentally removed my network manager (gnome) from my system (via synaptic) and hence have not been able to have access to the internet to reinstall the packages. I have experimented with many commands (with help from others) in terminal with little success.
What I now did was downloaded a 'NetworkManager-0.8.0.999.tar.gz' file and a 'NetworkManager-0.8.1.tar.bz2' file (from a different comp) and have placed them onto my desktop. I have read the INSTALL instructions within and it is a tad complex for me as I am new to Linux. I understand I have to extract the files and compile them into a new folder (I think I would choose a file in the /home directory)- how would I go about doing this? Following this, I need to './configure' or 'make' or 'make install' the files

So I was messing around trying to uninstall Nibbles and reinstall since I have an issue starting that game and something happened and removed the submenu under Games called "Logic", which had another whole list of games.
Is it possible to reinstall the games package or reinstall the update?I'm thinking more of the lines of a system restore or something so back 2 days from today.

I have a home server running Ubuntu 10.04. I want to replace the motherboard and CPU without reinstalling the OS. I read a long time ago that this would sort of work on Windows XP, but with stability issues. However, I have a hunch that on a modern Linux there shouldn't be any problems.

A few months ago I unstalled Ubuntu on my PC and was dual booting it and Vista. It worked great, love ubuntu. However I did have to run windows for some things so Dual booting was a perfect set up. However, recently my windows messed up and I had to reinstall it. Now when I start my computer I don't have the option to boot Ubuntu and I can only run vista. My hard drive is still partitioned so I'm pretty sure Ubuntu is still there, just unaccessable.Do you guys(or girls) have any ideas on how I can boot Ubuntu without having to reinstall?

I would like to reinstall debian on my server. It runs a self-compiled 4.0 because of the SATA controller that was not recognized at that time and the only solution was to recompile with the driver. Now, I did a test with an empty drive with V5.04 and the controller is recognized out of the box. I tried to install again, text-based and graphical, but in both modes I have to repartition. Is there a way to reinstall without losing data/reformat/repartition, and if yes, can you point me in the right direction because google or searching the forum did not deliver any solution.

In my company's production server, there are already mysql, php and httpd packages installed and running. Configurations are already made to the httpd.conf and my.cnf files.
Now I have to upgrade the packages to the latest version. I have to perform a yum update for the whole system first, then reinstall the packages right?
Will this affect the changes made to the configuration files? If yes, how do I upgrade so that the changes are not affected?

I had to delete my swap partition in order to reinstall win XP, but now I need to reinstall it. I run Ubuntu 10.04 and read that there is a command $ sudo mkswap /dev/sda1. I have about 19 GB of free unpartitioned space left on the hardrive that I want to make into a swap partition. I'm not sure whether I should use sda1 or if the book uses it as an example and if I use it it could wipe away my existing partition with ubuntu installed on it.

I had a dual boot system - windows in primary active /dev/sda1 and fedora in /dev/sda5 onwards till /dev/sda7 ( /boot, / and swap partitions).I reinstalled windows vista and it removed grub and replaced it with the MBR or windows loader.So now I can't boot into the linux OS. I tried out a live cd and tried grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/_boot /dev/sda (after mounting /boot partition at /mnt/_boot location from the live cd.)But on reboot I donot get the menu.lst options, only the black screen with a grub prompt.

I plan to reinstall linux (CentOS 5.2 = RHEL5) in my laptop because of insufficient diskspace partition in /. Only allocate 8.8G for /root and the rest to /app/Current my kernel version is 2.6.28, which are latest than the CentOS release which is 2.6.18, I think. Someone compile the kernel for me because he said my laptop network card is not recognized in the 2.6.18 released. I am not sure how he did it. I am a bit worried because if I reinstall again, I will face the same problem that my network card is not recognized!.

I've had problems with my Ubuntu partition on my computer, so I have decided that I might have to format the partition or reinstall Ubuntu.
My problem is that I have files on my partition that I would like to save. I've tried every tool I've found that allows Ext2 to be read in Windows, but none of them work for me. The best I have gotten is that I would be able to see the folders in /, but that is it. I was wondering if it was possible to reinstall Ubuntu without having to erase the partition.

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on Monday and got up this morning and it would not load past "init(framesxxx)" <--can't remember exactly. Well I decided to try a reinstall, ran it from the USB and it and it boots up, so I decided to try to install from there. Same problem.
I'm running a Acer Aspire 4730z laptop with 250 GB of HDD space, I can't remember much else after that, sorry. So it won't install so I was hoping someone had come across this problem before or could lend me a hand.

I had previously installed windows xp. Then I installed ubuntu and dual booting was fine. Now my windows is corrupted. I need to either repair or reinstall it, and I think my mbr will be affected. I will test all this on vmware first.

I got BSOD while attempting to uninstall a program in Win XP, so I tried to reinstall the OS (because the guy who gave me the pc wants a clean-up) but a STOP 0x0000007F (0x00000008, 0x80042000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) occurs.I tried then to boot Kubuntu 9.04 live cd, and it booted fine, but when I tried an installation it failed too: just crashing...
I tried to change the RAM and the hard drives to no avail.I'm thinking that it's an hardware failure, but can't track it down: what could it be? Video card? Motherboard?
EDIT: I ran 7 successful memtest - not even an error. I have to look at the harddisk ribbons and the motherboard.
EDIT No.2: I tried another harddrive, switching to sata connectors to no avail: the sata harddisk it isn't even recognized...Can it be the video card, or it will be the Motherboard?
