Oh, this is painfully slow! SlowBUMP

Why not BUMP from the command line? w3m is installed in ubuntu by default, and it's got a habit for deleting cookies without asking, but you can turn that feature off, and use it to log-in here and get much smaller pages that should load faster.

Just saying.

1. yes
2. ???
3. bump

[Noxn]

2: If i make a backup, do i just need to copy the home folder or something else?
As my linux died etc, i will reinstall i think

[scragar]

Coping your home folder would be a good way to keep your settings, but you'll still need to install things again.

oh, and next time be sure to BUMP.

[sstusick]

1. yes

Even if i uninstall/remove a program, the settings are still there, in the HOME.

Heh, at least i could play Hl2 in my spare time here in windows.

[lukjad007]

BUMParr!

[scragar]

I think if apt-get is ubable to install the desktop then the only thing you can do is reinstall, sorry to hear about the bad experience.

EDIT: having now read your post, yes, it will(if it works) reinstall everything seen as a dependency to ubuntu-desktop, which includes firefox, gnome, evolution etc(all the stuff that comes on a freshly installed system).

Hmm, im asking myself, why didnt they know the upgrade thing had a bug? i mean they tested alot... right?

:/


BUMPerminal

[lukjad007]

Well... There seems to be a few bugs in Intrepid. One I heard of is the fact that CD and DVD disks are not ejected properly.

[scragar]

Hmm, im asking myself, why didnt they know the upgrade thing had a bug? i mean they tested alot... right?

:/


BUMPerminal

The update thing (as you call it :P) relies on the same tool that handles all updates, there shouldn't be any reason for it to act crazy and decide to uninstall everything unless something goes wrong in a rather unexpected way. It has been extensively tested, it's just a rare and unexpected problem.

PS: sorry for replying in the wrong thread, I kinda reply to whatever thread I'm in at the time I read something to reply to, I don't think about it enough.

BUMP

[Noxn]

Well...
I dont know how to call the "upgrade thingie".

So its just a normal bug?
Well, im not the only one i think.

BUMPALOZA

[scragar]

I do belive the upgrade thing you refer to is still the update manager, which still runs on apt-get as it's back end, but call it what you want, no-ones going to complain I don't think(I'm going to guess this will be proven wrong at some point, just because you can never predict people)

And again, no idea 'bout number of people suffering this bug, but from what I have seen it's a very small percentage of people who upgraded.

okay guys... i somehow mounted my hard drive to a folder in my home... trying to mount my usb stick...

Now i dont know how to unmount it without unmounting my hard drive or something...
runmountsee what's mounted and where, find which one your USB is, then unmount it, something likeumount /dev/sdc1 ## /dev/sdc1 is my first pen drive BTW, yours will be something similar

And could anyone tell me again how to backup with TAR? i wanted to make a tar backup of my HOME on my stick...
Without copying my entire harddrive

cd ## go to home dir if not already in it
sudo tar -cvf /home/Backup.tar . ## back up current folder(the .) to a file called Backup.tar in /home

I mounted my HARD DRIVE, the one / uses!

How do i unmount it without trouble i ask.

My hard drive is now mounted on / and /home/noxn/usb (because my intention WAS to mount my USB stick, but i mounted my HARDDRIVE where linux is.)


EDIT: thanks for the backup thing, but how do i exclude the USB folder? (because when the stick is mounted finnaly, i dont need to copy the stick)

[lukjad007]

Well, if you are only backing up the contents of the /home folder, then you won't have to worry about the USB drive as it is in the /media folder.

If i copy my entire home folder, with my damn hard drive mounted on that Usb folder in my home, wouldnt that like copy everything i have on the harddrive?.........

ALSO:
MY USB DRIVE -ISNT- MOUNTED.
Im in the CLI.

I mounted my HARDRIVE on instead of the USB..... On that folder that i just called USB because i wanted.


Damnit i feel so dumb, nobody understands me, or i dont understand you.


EDIT:
So my status is this:
Im in the cli.
I want to install that ubuntu-desktop package.
I want to backup first.
I failed to mount my usb stick and mounted my hard drive instead in a folder in my home, and now i want to know how i undo that/exclude USB folder from the backup, and FINALLY save my backup on my stick.

edit2:
This is what some command said about my mounted things:
/dev/sda1 > / (sda1 is my harddrive, i think, looks like it.)
/dev/sda1 > /home/noxn/usb
Something like that.

[lukjad007]

You're not dumb. What we have here is a failure to communicate.

Morning everyone, did Noxn solve his problem?

Either way:
To exclude a directory(s) from tar use: tar -cvf /homeBackup.tar . --exclude=dir1 --exclude=dir2
And to umount your USB drive I think you can runumount /home/noxn/usbbut honestly if it's not umounting I'd go mad and force itsudo umount -a -flbut that's not recomended.
