Re: Accidentally destroyed /lib/modules directory.



Okay. That was a bad move. Don't reboot!

Never done this, but try reinstalling the linux-image package.
Not the metapackages, but the kernel package itself looks like:
"linux-image-2.6.15-23-686" or something similar.

I believe synaptic has a "mark package for reinstallation" option.

Ubuntu List,

I accidentally deleted everything in my /lib/modules directory by
misunderstanding some instructions while installing some drivers.

I'm worried that this has destabilized my system and that if I reboot,
my computer will die a nasty and horrible death.

Is there anything I can, or should do, to verify my system is okay
before rebooting and finding out the hard way?

Thank you for your help.
