Ask Ubuntu is a question and answer site for Ubuntu users and developers. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I ran this installer script to get some drivers for my printer, however I noticed that it started removing some of my programs, as well as 64-bit system files, and started replacing them with 32-bit ones! Luckily, I managed to cancel the operation before it did any serious damage.

I also noticed that offical PPA's for 32-bit files were added. Should I remove them?

So how do I get these files back?

Unfortunately, Ubuntu eventually crashed and I couldn't start it back up again. My only choice was to completely wipe and reinstall Ubuntu. Not even the re-install option on the CD worked. Luckily, I had my files backed up not too long ago.
