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

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 :-)

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

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..

[Wampirue]

Oh boy. This really exists. Thought it was only urban legend...
