Mar 18, 2010I'm having trouble since I installed the newest kernel update. I only have one desktop. I unistalled compiz. Then I get the message 'you don't appear to have a window manager installed' I reinstalled compiz, but it gives me a misty screen, with the cube desktop. How do I set compiz to a default setting? Plain and simple? Where is the config file? This may have started when I clicked a box 'enable indirect rendering' just to see what happened. I have an nvidia 9200 card on an Asus laptop.Failing that, how do I reinstall Fed 12 without wiping out my home directory?

Aug 4, 2011I've been playing around with stuff lately, and I was thinking that I could theoretically move my personal files to another partition, have it mount under /home/User... then change the system partition to 6 or 7GB and go about my merry way...That way, if I need to reinstall the os, or when the next release comes out, or even install another primary system, I could just wipe the system partition and keep all my data on the HD...just make an fstab entry like:
Code:
/dev/sda3 /home/User btrfs default 0 2
or something, and them BOOM! it's done. I am the master of my domain.
Ubuntu :: How To Back Up My Old Data Before I Reinstall
Oct 22, 2010Okay so I made a mistake and I have to reinstall Linux (see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1602329)
Since I can no longer boot to my existing installation (the graphical version OR the text version), I am having trouble saving off what I don't want to lose.
Can I boot from the CD and get to my stuff through there? I am in the CD version of Mint right now (posting this) and I cannot navigate to /home/myusername/ (obviously). So where would I find those files?
Do I have to mount that partition or something? It looks like a lot of my stuff is mounted already in this CD version... which worries me.
An alternative is that I still have Windows 7 installed that I can boot to if needed. If thats a way to extract my files I am all for it.

Apr 14, 2010I'm using 10.04 beta...
If I go to system - preferences - personal file sharing, I cannot select "share files over the network." The panel is greyed out and the message "This feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your computer" is shown
It ever so usefully doesn't tell me what those packages are though! - It'd be nice to have more useful error messages or the ability to click to install them...
Anyway, what do I have to do to get this going again?! I've installed everything to do with samba, webdav that I can find but still no cigar...

Jun 22, 2010yesterday I uninstalled evolution - thats where the horror started. Today I had my whole gnome panel on top missing, which makes it practically impossible to work on netbook remix. Then I tried to follow instructions in this post.[URL] hile trying to run that stuff in the terminal that I went into with strg-alt-f1, I think I either created a new user (with the same name???) or something else happened, ANYWAY NOW AFTER RESTARTING ALL FILES IN MY HOME FOLDER ARE GONE, SO ARE ALL MY SETTINGS. the programs are oddly still there, even the additional ones that I installed. but for the rest all settings, passwords and files are like after a fresh ubuntu installation to clean hard disk. btw i run lucid lynx on an eeepc 1008ha.

Ubuntu :: Reinstall The FTP Servers They Won't Start Because The Config Files Are Gone?
Mar 31, 2010I 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.
Ubuntu :: Uninstall ATI Drivers And Reinstall Original Files
Jun 12, 2011I 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 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Reinstall Apache2 - Recreating Config Files
May 11, 2010I'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
</Files>
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?
Software :: Configure Mysql InnoDB To Use Data Files Or Log Files On NFS Volumes?
Apr 15, 2010I was reading [URL] which as the following in "Warning": Warning It is not a good idea to configure InnoDB to use data files or log files on NFS volumes. Otherwise, the files might be locked by other processes and become unavailable for use by MySQL. What does that mean, and how can one configure or check to ensure the above is being followed?

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: Reinstall XAPP And Copy The Index.php Files From Another Comp?
Apr 18, 2010First 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?.
Ubuntu Installation :: Tar.gz And Tar.bz2 Files - Unable To Access The Internet To Reinstall The Packages
Aug 10, 2010I 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
