Hi!
Today I have made a _BIG_, thumb newbie-error: I have deleted my "startx" -file!
I have potato 2.2.19pre9 with kde 2.0.1, no modifications.
My X-server is XF86_SVGA.
Is there a fast method to regain the deleted file?
Or can anybody post it for me?
Thank you in advance
Andreas
Probably the easiest way to recover from a "loss" like this is to
re-install the package that contains the deleted file. In this case the
file "startx" is in the package "xbase-clients". So here is what I
would do:
1. Off the internet using apt-get:
apt-get update
apt-get --reinstall install xbase-clients
2. Off a Debian CDROM:
Just install the xbase-clients package via dpkg or apt-get using the
CDROM as a source per above.
BTW, if you are ever looking which package a "missing" file is located
within, you can find this out easily at Debain web site under the
"Debian Packages" screen. It is the last search option at the bottom of
the page.
