Recover from sudo strip * in /usr/bin
I stupidly did sudo strip *
in /usr/bin
. Now my computer can’t boot (X fails to load).
What should I do?
The best way for you to recover would be to reinstall. You can back up your data (excluding /usr/bin/
) by booting onto a rescue disk like System Rescue CD, and mounting your drive.
Theoretically, you would be able to copy the /usr/bin
directory from another installation, but a reinstall would probably be simpler.
