I managed to botch up my eclipse installation by installing a plugin (MOTODEV studio). In an attempt to fix the problem I decided to go ahead and do a full reinstall of Eclipse. I followed the suggestion in this post to remove eclipse and delete the plugins. I also completely deleted my workspace folder to get rid of any configuration files there since all my projects were just tutorial programs.

The exact issue I'm having:

  • Help > Check for Updates
  • Some updates are listed but at the top of the dialog box just below "Available Updates" it says: "The operation cannot be completed. See the details"
  • Under details it says "There were no installable units selected when the plan was computed."
  • If I select the listed updates and attempt to install them then I get the error: "Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency."

I think it must be an issue with some relics of the previous installation but I'm not sure where else to look for files to delete so I can get a clean start.

I'm trying to compile a c program as a 32 bit binary instead of 64 bit. I started by just adding -m32 and got some errors. Googling around a little I came across a note to install ia32-libs. Running apt-get install ia32-libs resulted in a notification taht it was already installed and at the newest version.

There is a chain of libraries each one including the next until it fails:

/usr/include/features.h:323:26: fatal error: bits/predefs.h: No such file or directory

It seems to be including 32 bit versions of the other includes /usr/include/c++/4.6/x86_64-linux-gnu/32/bits/ ...

What am I missing?

My computer locked up during upgrade to 11.10. I ended up copying my whole home directory to a second partition and reinstalling marking that partition as mount point for home and not formatting. I had to fix some permission/ownership issues on ~/.ICEauthority and then recursively chowned the home directory. After reboot I was able to log in successfully.

After logging in there is no side bar. At the top I have the File/Edit/View/../Help menus but I cant seem to get anything to run.

I've been googling, trying to find a command-line solution to reset all UI settings to default since I'm sure is some of the configuration files in my home directory thats screwing it all up but I haven't found anything that works.

I really would like to get ubuntu back working by Monday or I'll have to boot up into windows and ssh into the school linux server to get my work done.
