I mistakenly deleted my /sbin/insmod file is there a way to recover this file by reinstalling a package?

Hi,

I think it should be on your LiveCD, you'd need to boot with the LiveCD of your version of Ubunut and copy it over to your hard drive.

Regards,

Phill.

yep:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall module-init-tools

EDIT: btw,


dpkg -S /sbin/insmod
lists the package which provides /sbin/insmod
