@Philipp You are indeed right-o, sir. Hence, my message, which read something like "how does a user then purge his own configuration in order to procure himself a truly fresh install?".
Also, you sound like a sysadmin. This isn't Debian, it's Ubuntu. We are dealing with desktops here, not servers. "The administrator" is likely your dad, or older brother, if anybody. So - how do I get a fresh install *without* knowing my way around a terminal? This is a question that the people working on the Ubuntu Software Store or whatever it's called should think about. -- Gnome-Do crashes on startup after distupgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 beta 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/555137 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
