Whew!!! Has it been over 3 weeks??... Hard drive is toast!!! I tried so many ways to recover to new hard drive. Clonezilla, gparted copy and paste (which worked til the drive died completely), finally used http://www.matthartley.com/how-to-backup-your-ubuntu-software/ .... in conjunction with deja-dup restore of /home. I am almost there...
After reinstall of ubuntu 12.04 and following matt's procedure I get the following: Could not initialize the package information An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Opening /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bhdouglass-indicator-remindor- precise.list - ifstream::ifstream (13: Permission denied)' ubuntu-bug fails>>> ubuntu-bug update-manager (apport-gtk:2979): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_main_quit: assertion `main_loops != NULL' failed DO I NEED TO FILE SEPERATE BUG???? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1188933 Title: new install on same hd because compiz/unity failed, kept /home To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1188933/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
