Woops. I did "chmod 777 /"

Question

I was in a rush and accidently did "sudo chmod -R 777/". As you can imagine, everything is broken. I can't access sudo either. Is there a solution to this, or will I have to do a clean install?

Only chmod 777 / wouldn't break anything. Did you do chmod -R 777 /? — muru, May 11 '16 at 20:10
I think I can fix this, but need to test it in a virtual machine, but need sleep first.... — blade19899, May 11 '16 at 20:13
Yeah, I think I might be able to reverse everything, yaay... — blade19899, May 11 '16 at 20:23

You will have to do a new clean install, sorry.
