Restoring broken ubuntu system?

[Cherish76]

Hi,

I was installing gtk and by mistake I removed GLIB and now ubuntu doesn't start Xserver, the network connections are lost. I have tried reinstalling the GLIB but still the problem exists. So how to restore the system? I can log in to the system in console mode and all data is intact.

Many thanks,

Try this code:


sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I tried running that command but the update failed and eventually the installing the ubuntu-desktop. I see the network connection is lost as ifconfig is outputting only the loopback details. Hence the apt-get update is not able to resolve the website from which it should fetch the data.

Now the new question is how to restore the network interface/connection?

Many thanks,
