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 large number of games on a hard drive that have been installed using Windows (XP, 7) and I wondered if there is a way to access the games from Ubuntu without having to reinstall. Some of the games I have are subject to EA games activation limiter and others are installed from downloadable content.

Since then, Firefox starts and runs fine the first time. Close it down and later try to restart, error says that Firefox is already using that profile and will need to quit it before proceeding.
System Monitor then shows that firefox and firefox-bin are still loaded (although nothing in the gnome app tray at bottom of screen). Jill those 2 processes and Firefox loads normally.
Should I wait this out and see if later updates cure this? Reinstall Firefox? Submit a report to launchpad?

I started with:
Code:
sudo apt-get auto-remove tomcat6
Then I deleted the /etc/tomcat6 directory manually since it contained file settings I didn't want. I assumed it would automatically install the missing files.
Then I tried re-installing tomcat6 as follows:
Code:
sudo apt-get install tomcat6
This yielded an error:
Code:

How are you supposed to completely remove a package and re-install it normally?

And of course a redownload and install of ssl-cert is not possible,I get the same error So I tried downloading and installing the openssl package by hand, but still I got nowhere Does anyone knows how to reinstall this ssl-cert package again??
I need to know if there is a way to command slackpkg to reinstall all installed packages...?I dont think there is but also wanted to know if I could somehow edit scripts, etc to enable this.I need this because as many know here I make variations of livecd's and I have injured one of my installs when I ran a script that I shouldn't have and it deleted several directories under /etc usr/lib and /usr/bin.I have no idea exactly what was deleted and thus I wish to reinstall all installed packages.There must be a way to do this without the borish method of manually reinstalling hundreds of pkgs.Is there a way to grep/ var /log/packages and say reinstall all?

Every time I attempted to run "yum update" dependencies failed to resolve citing kernel version problems. I cleaned out a bunch of old versions of kmod-wl that were still on my system (some dating back to my old f12 install) and still had no luck. Finally I removed kmod-wl altogether so that I could update the rest of my system and hoped I could just re-install it once the update was finished. No dice. "yum install kmod-wl" still produces this message (identical to what "yum update" gave when the old kmod-wl was installed):
Code:
Error: Package: kmod-wl-2.6.34.6-47.fc13.i686-5.60.48.36-1.fc13.14.i686 (rpmfusion-nonfree-updates)

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?
My last update for Ubuntu 9.10 messed up my whole install. My question is how do I reformat my parttion so I can reinstall Ubuntu. I am using dual boot with Windows and Ubuntu!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI run a Squid 3 server that is acting as a web filter. It worked fine on Etch. The system stopped working properly due to two of the three SATA cables being bad. Before I figured that out, I tried doing updates. Since Etch updates were no longer available, I did a distupgrade to Lenny. Immediately, Squid stopped working properly. It would take up to two and a half minutes for it to respond to a web request and add it to the access.log. This was using the same configuration file that it was using before the update.
After I found the hardware problem, I did a clean install of Lenny. I used the basic squid.conf like I did on the previous system, only changing it to add my ACLs and because it wasn't saving an access.log to the default location unless I uncommented the path directive. Now, it won't respond to a request at all. Forwarding is enabled and the firewall seems to be set up correctly.
My buddy passed me a CD of W7 I installed & everything was o.k. But then I activate it and reboot it.! It gave me some stinkin error BOOT MSG some like that.! and that I had to press ctrl,alt & delete. Now I cant access or enter it. I wonder if I can install or reinstall from ubuntu 9.10. Cause I cant do it from the bios cause it asks me a password. Which I never had before. Any suggestions linux pros. One more thing I tried recovering it form the win7 repair disc but nothing.

I had recently upgraded my 9.0.4 ubuntu to the latest version, but something must have gone horribly wrong during the upgrade. On boot, it says it has problems and errors loading stuff and when it gets to the desktop, it gets no input from the keyboard or the mouse. Same goes for recovery mode. When trying to run from a live CD the keyboard and mouse work just fine. I have the CD and I wanted to simply reinstall but problem is I don't know how to reinstall over the current installation.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04, and most things appear to be fine. However, after a day or two of inactivity (apart from remotely logging in for SSH), the computer goes into a state where the screen is blank and it is unresponsive (and no longer allows access by SSH, FTP, or SVN server access). I have to reboot the computer to use it again, which I can't always do when I'm traveling. I inquired about this previously -but I'm convinced the solution may be more complicated than suggested because I don't have compiz turned on and the computer's power management is already set so that it's never supposed to sleep. I tried to install 10.04 fresh from a Live CD, but it freezes where it asks me how I want to use my partitions so I can't even reinstall
