I ran this line: aptitude purge x11-common and all common files, all the tools I need are gone from my desktop. I have an amd64 with ubuntu +gnome on it.
Is there a way to reverse this --other than installing 1gb of packages one by one?
Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade

I've deleted /etc/apache2 and did run:
Code:
sudo apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install apache2.2-common
to get the default config back.
But starting the server via:
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2
results in:
Code:
Syntax error on line 161 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:
Invalid command 'Order', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
line 160-163 look like this:
Code:
<Files ~ "^.ht">
Order Allow,Deny # line in question
Deny from all

The funny thing is that the exact same definition is in a debian lenny server config on another server. So why did this install a not working config?
I just removed apache2 via:
Code:
sudo aptitude remove apache2
sudo rm -r /etc/apache2
and reinstalled it via:
Code:
sudo aptitude install apache2
which also did not fix the config bug?
For testing I installed apache2 on another ubuntu 9.10 and did just copy the folder /etc/apache2 to my local installation - this fixed the problem. Still, why cant I reinstall apache2 with a working config?
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

I was looking for a converter to use on common avi files and maybe some others and came across this thread. I followed it all the way to where it asks me to install ConvertIt by adding the repos and then running Synaptic. I found convertit and marked for install and clicked apply and got this error:
Code:
convertit:
Depends: gambas2-runtime (<2.1) but 2.13.1-1ubuntu1 is to be installed
Depends: gambas2-gb-qt (<2.1) but 2.13.1-1ubuntu1 is to be installed
So i check synaptic for that and i had them installed already from the guide. So i marked them all for reinstall since i installed them in the terminal the first time. Reinstalled and i still get the same error.
Any idea whats wrong? Or is there a better movie converter thats easier? I just want to re encode the files so the will play on my 360.
I have two text files in the form:1 ItemA [value]2 ItemB [value]3 ItemC [value]Some of these items are common for both files, while others are missing from either one or the other.I want to compare the values for each common item in the two lists, but don't know how. I have a vague idea that probably grep might be useful, but I don't know how to use it for this purpose.So, to sum it up, what I would like to do is to take to text files containing lists and merge their common items into a third file in the form:
1 ItemA [value_from_list1] [value_from_list2]
2 ItemB [value_from_list1] [value_from_list2]
3 ItemC [value_from_list1] [value_from_list2]

A couple of days ago, I upgraded my Kubuntu to Lucid. In this phase, the system reported that it was impossible to upgrade samba-common, and the installation aborted on 90%. Nevertheless everything is working but KPakageKit, which reports:
"There are broken dependecies on your system. Please use an advanced package manage e.g. Synaptic or aptitude to resolve this situation."
Neither "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" nor "sudo apt-get -f install" solved the problem:
omen@darkstar:~$ sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

samba-common
kubuntu-desktop .....
So the problem is really samba-common.
I want to install Ubuntu 10.10 via a DVD-ROM but I faild. I got the message "no common cd-rom drive was detected." I have tried to install ubuntu 11.4 and failed too.
Hardware Setting:
DVD-ROM was attached to SATA 3.0 port.
SATA controller was set to IDE mode.
PCH is CougarPoint.
I use the same hardware setting to install Red Hat 6.0 and it works fine. I tried following boot option but in vain: noapic, acpi=off, nodmraid, all_generic_ide. It is ok to boot via a live usb but ubuntu 10.10 still can't find DVD-ROM. I have to use the hardware setting I descripted to install Ubuntu 10.10.

I built out a headless VMWare v2.0.2 Server. I managed to work all that out but now I'm having some trouble getting my virtual machines on the server. I installed both proftpd and vsftpd but neither server lets me log in. 'Login Failed' is always returned (using the only account on the machine - created during the install).
So I decided to install samba, but samba chokes on large files. I tried over and over again to copy a 10GB VMDK file over samba and it gets to 5% or so and suddenly tells me there is a network problem and dies (which there is no network problem as these machines are all on the same subnet plugged into the same gigabit switch).
So now I'm back to FTP. Unfortunately when I ran apt-get remove proftpd, it didn't remove any of the config files (/etc/proftpd/*) so I manually deleted them. Now when I try to reinstall the FTP servers they won't start because the config files are gone. What's the apt-get syntax to completely uninstall these servers as if they had never been installed so I can start clean? I really don't want to have to do a complete system re-install just to fix 300KB FTP servers.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am running a recently installed minimal install. I am having some fun building the system up but trying to keep things slim. I have installed the ATI catalyst drivers working from the tutorial here under 'Installing the Restricted Drivers Manually': [URL]... After successfully getting the ATI driver running, I realise I really don't need or want it and am wanting to uninstall it completely and return the config to the way it was. Some of that I can do with the aid of some of the links I have found but installing the ATI drivers no doubt killed some of the packages that were there in the first place (graphics was fine in the first place incidentally). Question: What might these squashed packages be so I can reinstall them and have graphics setup as it was before I installed the ATI drivers and how can I remove all trace of the ATI drivers?

View 3 Replies View RelatedFirst off. I'm not using Ubuntu Server. But I'm trying to get XAMPP set up so I can test Wordpress themes I make. Using 9.10. I got XAMPP installed using the Instructions from Apache Friends. When I went to Localhost I got the language page. Selected English but nothing happened.
Here's my Index.php:
Code:
<?php
if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && ('on' == $_SERVER['HTTPS'])) {
$uri = 'https://';
} else {
$uri = 'http://';
}
$uri .= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
header('Location: '.$uri.'/xampp/');
exit;
?>
Something is wrong with the XAMPP installation :-( I searched and found a couple Index.php files. Deleted one. And now when I go to localhost I get a "Index of" page.I removed the XAMPP folder, Deleted Apache, PHP from Synaptic(They got reinstalled when i reinstalled XAMPP btw). Installed LAMP but it still does it. Maybe reinstall XAPP and copy the index.php files from another Comp?.
I've destroyed my desktop.
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and I would much like to uninstall (including any config files) and reinstall the windows manager.
Is there a set of commands I can run to achieve this?
Code:
E: empathy-common: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
E: empathy: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: nautilus-sendto-empathy: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Due to lack of concentration, I inadvertantly ran PClinux(2009-2)'s "install.sh" while I was in openSuse 11.1. This file says:
grub --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map --batch <<EOF
root (hd0,6)
setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0,6)
quit
EOF
I soon found out that Suse 11.1 would no longer boot from boot.ini (using bootpart) because the boot process now brings up PCLOS (in /dev/sda6) rather than Suse 11.1 sitting in /dev/sda5. No problem, I thought, I'll boot from the Suse install DVD, use repair, and away I go. Wrong. After grinding, it started mentioning about generating something for sda13, which is my last partition. NTFS! So I bailed before it got too far. I even tried "rescue" option on the DVD, command prompt, and grub commands to reinstall via "setup.
Then I tried to use Super Grub Disk (.97xx) to reinstall the PBR, stage 1 and stage 2 loaders. Didn't change a thing. So then I used Grub4DOS and got into my Suse 11.1 installation using this in its menu.lst:
title openSUSE 11.1 - 2.6.27.45-0.1
[Code]...
Worked fine, and is now my (only) method of booting to 11.1. So obviously it's bypassing stage 1 and 2 files, using it's native Grub4DOS code. But then I tried Yast-Bootloader to reinstall Grub's files. No difference. Then I used the advanced part to "write bootloader code to disk" No difference. Even tried "propose a new boot scheme" (or whatnot) no difference. After looking at all this, I've come to the conclusion that the PBR code in sda5 is scraunched, and/or stage 1 code (although it's still the original date), or stage 2 (which definitely had a new timestamp of when I committed the fatal error by executing PCLOS's "install.sh".
So my question is this: How do I do a good COMPLETE re-install of Suse's version of the grub files? Because, for sure, grub commands like "setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0,5), and variations thereof, certainly aren't doing it? My reasoning is that I should make sure that all the boot files get restored/confirmed as "originally installed by Suse".
how do I retrieve/reinstall Grub without having to reinstall Ubuntu?
