Hi all,
I did something wrong in ubuntu 10.04 server and I need to undo the changes made by installing unwanted package+dependencies. So my question is how does one do a "system restore" in ubuntu server. Removing-purging tht particular package+dependencies wont help,damage already done. Yes i have googled for the last few days but the solutions an getting is for restoring from a backup. What am looking for is/are way(s) of rolling back to previous day before the package+dependencies was installed. Remember this is a server so no GUI.
How do you expect to roll back when there is no backup?
Anyway, I believe all Unix have a way to uninstall a package and fix any breakage. While I am not from the Linux world, I don't understand what you mean by "won't help, damage is already done". Is that Linux or Windows Server?:-)
Maybe you tell the Linux folks on this forum what it is you did, the damage it caused, and they tell you how to undo and fix?
