I did
sudo apt-get purge *pulse* ; sudo apt-get purge skype; dpkg -r skype;
Issue:
Now I can't login into kde. It doesn't show the kde bootscreen. Any ideas? I can still use CLI with Ctrl+Alt+F7.Is there anyway I can know exactly what I uniinstalled?
What I have tried:
sudo apt-get instal...
@AbhishekBhatia look into /var/log/apt/history.log , find the entry with your exact command, see what packages were removed , try to reinstall those or at least those you suspect to be cause of the issue
@ByteCommander As is ,it's just low quality post , it doesn't even contain a link
So I have master branch with commit history:
y-z
and I have develop branch with history (y-z is the same as in the master branch):
a-b-c-d-e-y-z
I want the structure to be (as in develop is not a bunch of commits ahead of master as their HEAD is the same):
master: y-z
develop: a-b-c-d-e-y-z
where z-y are aligned, but git thinks it's:
master: y-z
develop: a-b-c-d-e-y-z
@Abhi I see you have kde-baseapps-bin removed there,and you said your kde is not loading . maybe that's the cause ? sudo apt-get install kde-baseapps-bin
well good luck trying to guide someone who's so insecure that he simply installs something over his existing install through a data rescue where 50-90% are most likely gone anyways
@TheBrownOne nslookup - will tell you the DNS servers it will use
and unless anything is relying on its own implementation of a DNS query which would then use a specified server in a hard-coded way, it should inherit from the system
Let say right now I am comfortable doing a monthly patch process. I would patch systems in development in week 1, and perhaps week 3 I am patching production servers. I want to install versions which have been tested in development. Can I do that with unattended/upgrade command?
Maybe when the elections are over, I'm going to post a meta question, asking for constructive critic and what people think I could do better in the next election i.e. why they voted for someone else...
@ByteCommander @Serg @BharadwajRaju Thanks so much!!!! It works now. Is there anything else I do should apart from the installing the removed packages(bpaste.net/show/ab679eb59a31)? One thing I didn't get, why did remove install packages?
@AbhishekBhatia probably because removing packages makes Ubuntu switch default of some sort to next available package , but that package requires some dependeencises. Just a guess
@Videonauth thing is , calling external program from python is a bit fuzzy . Usually the smart way is to have a function to which you pass a string (command) and it will do it for you
I have draft for that in my other disk, but not on this one
Holy crap, actual useful feedback, what? I'll do that, when I next have time. I'll survive. Without content, this site won't. — Jacob Gadikian17 mins ago
