Dude aptitude is missing and how can I install it via aptitude

btw I tried it too

M

Maybe it's just that path has got messed up. So, check that too.

Code:

echo $PATH

Code:

whereis apt-get

*packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/base/apt

Ok lemme try this too

@ kalpik how and where to install that .. cause I cannot access my installed Ubuntu

After Disk check it says apt-get not installed and it get restarted

I cant believe that apt is missing from ur ubuntu.may be becoz of some shell env variables are not set correctly

for eg: PATH.if apt is removed(less chance) then aptitude & other gtk dep tools like synaptic etc too are removed.this is either a kernel error or missing PATH variable

.also make this clear which OS's are u have on ur system,what did u tried and do u still have grub menu for ubuntu there-then try below method.

So just try booting ur ubuntu to runlevel 1 and check for errors.like press "e" on grub menu for ubuntu and then press again on line starting with "kernel "
then remove the last lines " ro quiet splash" and add "rw init=/bin/bash" to the end of the line.press enter;press "b" to boot to get a root prompt.then their try "/usr/bin/apt-get install -f" and note for any errors.

below is chroot method:dont try this now
use ur ubuntu livecd configured with internet=better.mount ur ubuntu- /,/boot etc partitions correctly.chroot into ur ubuntu partn.try dpkg --configure -a and note the errors.
