rolling back system upgrade made with slackpkg on -current
by rudymartinx from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BZW7)
hi all
I just did a full system upgrade with slackpkg, edited mirror and uncommented kernel on blacklist as documented, also added alien entry as the last line since I also use compat32 to run wine binaries.
I have ran slackpkg update & install-new & upgrade-all and then (after a reboot) to my unpleasant surprise I have lost my working KDE desktop and now I want it back the way it was.
The options I'm considering are:
1) running removepkg on /var/log/packages to remove everything and installing current again over the filesystem without formatting and hoping for the best.
2) starting all over with another spare disk I have (which means I will end up losing a week until I get back on track with everything the way it was).
if there's any other options I'm all ears.
thank you
[Edit: what I really meant is: I want to downgrade KDE or even the whole linux install in order to get my previous KDE desktop with all my applets, icons, virtual desktops and so on]
