install script does rm -rf /usr for ubuntu

[ginoputrino]

An extra space at line 351:
rm -rf /usr /lib/nvidia-current/xorg/xorg

causes the install.sh script to do an rm -rf on the /usr directory for people installing in ubuntu.

Totally uncool dude!!! The script deletes everything under /usr. I just had to reinstall linux on my pc to recover.

Removing the space will fix this. Probably should do it quickly!!!

Ya this happened to me. I wasn't sure what went wrong, but chaos ensued shortly after I ran the install script. I have to work tommorow, and require my computer, so this could be a late night reinstalling/recovering my personal files. Oh well, I guess that is what I get for alpha testing ;D

[MrMEEE]

GIANT BUG... causing /usr to be deleted... so sorry....

[goncalossilva]

This made me laugh :)

[MrMEEE]

Yeah... I was very tired that night...

[ginoputrino]

Guess it's ok to laugh about it now :-)
Btw props to MrMEEE - this driver has totally saved me from having to do cad
in windows. Legendary piece of work! I don't even mind that it wiped my
machine the first time I tried it :-)

Wow - just read the commit thread on github. Took me longer than it did
to reinstall my machine.
Epic. Had no idea that was going on.

It took me longer to load the pictures in that commit than to reinstall my machine.

LOL, i am on the process of recovering my own files. Fortunately, it's just a test machine. I'd love to see if some one deployed the script on an working server

[tishion]

So interesting a bug

[Serkan-devel]

Just place the space before usr.

Example:# rm -rf / usr/...

It anyway doesn't come with any warranty so..

Don't think life plain sailing;
There's danger of failing,
Though bright seem the future to be;
But honor and labor,
And truth to your neighbor,
Will bear you safe over life's sea.

I get sentimental every time I think about this issue

Even more than 10 years after somebody's computer broke with a simple typo, there are still comments on the relevant issue.

Hi from June 2022.

[the-eduardo]

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

[MrCroxx]

No offense, but when I feel down on my life, I will come back to see what happened in history to refresh my day.

I think the real reason I'm so afraid of writing a bug like this myself is that it would stand a good chance of becoming my most-remembered contribution to the field 😭
