I accidently removed my entire /usr directory thanks to RVM. I can still use the terminal prompt with Ctrl+Alt+F6, but I don't have any sudo (I guess it's because of the missing /usr).
Is there any way to recover my files?, I didn't reboot yet. If not how can I make sudo and the other things work again without completly reinstalling the OS? I'm runnig Ubuntu 12.04.
I want to install Google Chrome Nightly (the dev version) next to the stable version. Is there a PPA for Nightly and 12.04?
These are the only PPAs I found and they are not working on 12.04 yet.
I want to open a new Konsole tab with my keyboard. Is there a shortcut for that?
Let' say I overwrite a text file named test.txt in KDE. KDE will make a copy of the old file and save it as test.txt~ in the same directory.
Is it possible to disable that? I make copies of the old files I need, so it's highly annoying to have every file in two versions.
I have some weird Skype crashes today. If I try to close it via the X nothing happens. I tried to kill the process over the KDE Process Manager (Ctrl+ESC).
I even tried to kill Skype via the terminal:
killall skype
kill (skypes process number)
None of the both worked. Right now I got to relogin to get it working again, and it keeps crashing every 15mins. I'm using KDE 4.7 and Ubuntu 11.10.
I really like KDE and Ubuntu but I don't need most of the KDE applications, like Kontact or Kopete that will be installed with the usual KDE.
Is there a way I can install KDE (4.7) without all those applications? It makes more sense to manually install the ones I actually use (like Konsole) than uninstalling many.
I was using Ubuntu 11.10 and installed the KDE Desktop and I was happy with that. But I wanted to get my old login screen back so I removed the package kdm. When I boot my PC now, it keeps booting and nothing happens.
How can I add the kdm package again? I got into recovery mode, terminal and tried to execute sudo apt-get instal kdm but I got an error message.

I'm pretty desperate now, could somebody please help me?
I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 with Unity and would like to switch between workspaces with a keyboard shortcut.
Is there any way to achieve this?
