I accidentally removed all the packages on my old install of Karmic (i think 9.04) so I can only log in and get a command line (my GUI is gone)...

My data is encrypted so I want to know how I can:

1) unencrypt my home directory via command line

2) copy over an encrypted home folder (the username and passphrase is the same on the old home directory as the new home directory)

My new computer is running 10.04 Ubuntu.
