Re Undoing an update
by Craig Aldinger 31 Jan '09

31 Jan '09

I have recently built up a new computer and loaded it with a Canonical disc of Ubuntu 8.10, so far, so good. I like the OS and the upgrade from 7.10 was worth it. Until this morning.... I got the lit icon, checked the list of updates, shut down all other open programs and started the process. Downloaded 23 or 26 updates, among them a new linux kernel and its associated stuff, download proceeded smoothly and, at the end, required a system restart. I did so and that's when my troubles began. The list of weirdness is long and convoluted so let's just say it essentially crippled my computer. After some roundabout troubleshooting with Oren, I got it to run (sort of). What I want to know: is there a way I can undo/delete that specific update (all 20some of them) and restore my OS to where it was and, if so, how? Command line stuff is still a bit intimidating for me but I am always interested in learning so if the answer goes that direction, I'll learn! Thanks, Craig -- "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro..." Raoul Duke

This was it. From here I found the reset instructions, and figured out that I wasn't holding down the reset button long enough. Duh! I'm working now. Thanks everyone!

by Jim Herrmann 27 Jan '09

I have a Netgear router that I was trying to change into a pass through router, and I turned off the DHCP allocation. Now I can't get to the router at all. Any thoughts on what I can try? Thanks, Jim -- - That One - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCUOHKznUyI

UUIDs missing in Ubuntu?
by Sean Crago 11 Jan '09

11 Jan '09

I recently did a benign looking apt-get dist-upgrade in Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex and, a few days later, rebooted. I think a kernel patch was involved, but I'm not sure/haven't tried to revert to an old one yet to fix this problem, but I'd like to find a cleaner fix: I have one old PATA HDD on my box that I mount on boot to /tmp via a UUID-based fstab entry. This used to work just fine. It's mounted a generic SCSI device, so it doesn't show up as hda1 anymore, but it shows up as sda1 and is symlinked to in /dev/disk/*/, as are my other generic SCSI devices - My removable media, my memory card reader, etc. Now, though, I don't see anything except my one SATA drive in my /dev/disk/by-*/ entries. To make things substantially MORE strange, all of these problems went away at 13:37 this afternoon, when the missing symlinks were created en masse. No reference at all exists to that time in any plaintext file in /var/log/ Any guesses as to what's wrong with my system and how to prevent this from blocking a proper UUID-based fstab from working at boot time? Thanks, Sean Crago Kathmandu
