Ok, here is some help to restore the system from "TTY_only" after tasksel removed important packages:
sudo apt-get install $(for i in $(cat /var/log/dpkg.log |grep -oP "(?<=`date +%Y-%m-%d`\s\d\d\:\d\d:\d\d\sremove)\s\S*\s"); do echo -n "$i "; done;) Which basically looks in the dpkg.log for packages removed today and reinstalls them by handing the package-names over to apt-get. It also restores other packages :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574287 Title: tasksel: forcefully removes packages when tasks overlap To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/574287/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
