I've logged into my Ubuntu server from work via putty under Windows. Right away I noticed something weird. I could not use the ls command. Got:
-bash: /bin/ls: no such file or directory
I didn't pay much attention, I thought it was a putty thing.
Tonight I've logged from home via ssh under Ubuntu and I get the same problem on my server!
Not only that but other commands like find
give me the same message.
I've also noticed that all colours are gone in the prompt.
If I echo PATH, I get :
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
to replace ls
I can use dir
and it works, but that's only a temporary workaround.
Also I've tried:
ldd /bin/ls
gives me is not and dynamic executable
What could be the problem ?
EDIT
Oh and running apt-get update
gives me:
W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-backports/universe/i18n/Translation-en Something wicked happened resolving « ftp.free.fr:http » (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
type ls
?
