mb-reset script

mb-reset is a simple helper script that can be helpful in some uncomfortable situations.

– you made a fatal mistake editing an important configuration file (rc.xml, autostart) and your system is not working as it should

– you are using the Mabox version installed long ago and you want to get newer versions of configuration files (for menu/panels, Conky, tint2 etc.)

mb-reset is a very simple script and all it does is copy the default files to the right place in your home directory.

Run the script from the user account (not root!). To see all options just type in the terminal: 

mb-reset
 mb-reset - reset/update user config files to current defaults.
    It only affects files shipped with Mabox.
    Be aware that you may loose your own customizations (if any).
