 How to restore removed built-in packages? (Solved) |
|
previously, tried to remove rarely used builtin application but the system sfs size not changed at all. HomeBank is removed also.
Now I want my HomeBank back.
after Googling, searching & browsing forum, I found no hint.
I tried pfix=ram option, I found HomeBank still in the menu.
I can run HomeBank without problem
So my temporary conclusion, HomeBank is still on system sfs.
but may be hidden from my current system.
Also crossed my mind to remake personal save file, but I think not good option also beacuse I already installed several ubuntu and development packages.
After remaking personal save file, those ubuntu and development packages need to be installed again.
btw I removed HomeBank using /usr/sbin/remove_builtin

If you want to delve...... look into /initrd/pup_rw/......
In there if you click the eye it will show all deleted files with a .wh. at the beginning.
If you delete those 'mask' files then all will reappear.
in /root/.packages there are lists of the files that would be deleted ...
I don't know of a wizard that will restore built in items.
The only way to make the sfs smaller would be to make a remaster.

Is it possible to make it reappear without rebooting?
After deleting the hidden file the original /usr/bin/homebank would not reappear. Pushing the refresh button in ROX lets the file appear for a split-second in the list (only name, without icon or file details), but it's not permanent and bash doesn't recognize the file. Restarting X doesn't help.

Sure, just re-evaluate all layers:
| Code: | | busybox mount -t aufs -o remount,udba=reval unionfs / |

Ah ha a method.... I just do it and most of the time it works since aufs is pretty forgiving.
