Hello,
i accidently deleted all files in /home/opt/microb-engine in order to make space for root fs.

it looks that this was not a good plan, because now the microb browser does not work anymore.

could anybody either help me how to solve this problem without reflashing?

probably be sending me the content of the direcory in a zip file?

or is there already a place on the net where i could find theses files again?

any advice or help is appreciated.

Okay, are you sure you're typing this correctly?

I'm willing to help you out with a tarball (I did a similar thing in my /var/lib folder on a Solaris box a few years back...), but I can't find the directory that you're talking about.

Besides, if you were removing files from /rootfs, then you wouldn't be in /home/opt since that's on the internal eMMC 32GB partition and not root.

Try to reboot. You might get your files back (at least that's what happened to me when I deleted things in the browser config).

It's the engine not the config files.

"Besides, if you were removing files from /rootfs, then you wouldn't be in /home/opt since that's on the internal eMMC 32GB partition and not root. "
/home/ is on the 32GB chip on a 2GB partition.

Edit: Here you go
microb-engine.zip

hey thank you for the very fast help.

first of all - of course i misstyped. it is not "/home/opt/microb-engine" but "/usr/share/microb-engine" that i deleted.

now i was able to download and extract the "microb-engine.zip"
to "/usr/share/microb-engine" using mc.

then i did a restart.

but microb still crashes immediately after starting up.

i gave it another try after deleting the folder "/usr/share/microb-engine/defaults" but no success.

maybe it is just not possible this way?

regards

Maybe another way could be to uninstall and then install the microB freshly through the application manager?

But i could not find it there...

thank you all again.

Make sure it unpacked to /usr/share/microb-engine not /usr/share/microb-engine/microb-engine.
Try
Code:
apt-get --reinstall install microb-engine
in terminal as root
