I somehow deleted /tmp when I was deleting files from /tmp to make
room
One time I saw the login options - when I logged in I only saw a black screen.
Other than doing an install, is there a way to recover the files in /tmp?
argh! It pays to be very careful deleting things as root!
A lesson learned the hard way!
the files are irrelevant
the folder with the correct permissions is important
/tmp needs chmod 1777 (everybody is allowed to write
but only the onwer can open his temp-files)
mkdir /tmp
chmod 1777 /tmp
in doubt reboot after that
