View 1 RepliesI continue to try and get the back the Firefox I grew to love prior to the 3.0 release. My latest endeavor is to clean-up the Awesome Bar history. I don't understand the reasoning behind the well established "Clear Private Data" tool and the fact that nothing seems to work to clear the Awesome Bar history. Why have the tool if it isn't going to clean the Awesome Bar also. I don't want to get into the merits of the Awesome Bar I just want to clear it when I want to. I have done a lot of searching on this and there doesn't seem to be a real solution. There are many sudo solutions that don't actually clear what the Awesome Bar keeps track of as to merely hide it from view. The most common are the Firefox 2 history bar reincarnations.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI like openSuSE, but the main thing I miss from Ubuntu is the ability to have complete control over the applications menu. Ubuntu had a clean menu where everything was one level deep, with pretty basic categories. But opening alacarte in openSuSE (running 11.2 with GNOME) is an absolute mess. There are categories for "Astronomy", "Kidsgames", and a whole bunch of folders that I would never use. And it's nearly impossible to get rid of them. Selecting delete almost never works; the closest I've gotten was to re-name a whole bunch of ".directory" files so that the system wouldn't find them, but it still created the majority of them, only this time with generic folders over the default icons.
Plus, I would like to be able to change which application goes to which category in the Application Browser. That menu is much more clean, but I would like to create a "Games" section for it, and move my text editors from Utility to Development. I know that most of the .desktop files are in /usr/share/applications (I have a couple in /usr/local/share), the directories are defined in /usr/share/desktop-directories and ~/.local/share/desktop-directories, and the menu itself seems to define categories in /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu. But despite knowing all of this, I still have no idea how to clean up alacarte and how to move around launchers in the Application Browser.
I am using squid proxy server for sharing Internet in my internal network. I would like to know that how can I check the browsing history by individual users web surfing history by their IP addresses?

I don't know if it's possible to just copy from %appdata% the skype folder and put it into the Debian's one.
How could I do? I read one post but it's quite old, so maybe there's something new now.
I want Firefox to delete history after several days. Can I configure it this way?"Remember my browser history for at least..." is not the option which does it, right?

Did a clean minimal install of Testing in a Virtual Machine (VirtualBox).Login as root.Type "shutdown now".It starts shutting down, then says INIT: Sending processes the TERM signal Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue):If i press Control-D it goes back to a login prompt.Okay, i maybe missing a point since "shutdown -h now" gives the expected behaviour.Call me old fashioned but I think that a "shutdown now" should shutdown a system, and not effectively reboot the system. There is a reboot command for that.

I have just upgraded my lenny box to squeeze. I did it by clean-installing squeeze. The installation was successful, but I just noticed that I had forgotten to backup some important files I had on this machine before the installation...
Now, is there any way to recover those files?
The purpose of that topic is to identify if there is any way to totally clean a debian system and make it like a fresh installed system (of course i amn't refering to packages because aptitude is just perfect?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been testing Mate since couple of weeks on my Jessie and now I'm convinced that is the perfect DE for me. So I would like to uninstall Gnome 3 without disturbing Mate and my system as well because both DE share many dependencies. If this is very risky I would like at least get rid of all gnome packages which are not shared with Mate.

How do I fix this, without starting from scratch ?
I can consider my Debian Squeeze installation completed at the moment. In fact, it looks like everything is working with not so much effort:
- video graphics card
- keyboard
- mouse (both external USB and built-in touchpad)
- ethernet wired lan
- wireless lan (WPA!)
- sound (headphones and loudspeakers!)
- web-cam
What else? I think it's everything! Now I run a 'dmesg' command (see below since it looks like I cannot attach files) and I get some errors/problems/warnings (see below some rows which has been extracted from the whole 'dmesg' output) that I'm not able to "weight": are they true problems? Is it something I have to worry about? Can anybody suggest solutions to correct/solve the problems?

I'm attempting to install some software on my friend's computer. It keeps saying the packages I want aren't there but I know they are. I've been fooling around with this for a while. I may have broken something in the process. Repository names, perhaps?Is there some way to reinstall Synaptic/Aptitude and "wipe the slate clean?"

2- Upgrade to sid
3- Run this command after installing xserver:
aptitude install kdm kde-10n-es kdebase
Then aptitude installs kdm, kdebase... and brasero, metacity, gvfs, gnome-control-center, evolution... (¿?) I only want to install KDE, why aptitude also install all this gnome crap ? And I say crap because I only want to install the KDE desktop, I use Gnome in my laptop =/ If you uncheck install recommends in aptitude you can make a clean KDE install.

I wanted to clean up /usr/share/bin and only have the executable "eclipse" in there. I created a a directory Eclipse and moved everything but the executable into it, you guessed , that doesn't work so well. So what I'm wondering is there a way I could put all these other files and subdirectories somewhere else, maybe /usr/local/src and have just the one executable in /usr/local/bin?Is this where ln comes in? Heres what's in there, everything but the dictator stuff is part of Eclipse, and there is also a
.eclipseproduct text file.[URL]...

From a terminal without X (tty1) with root run mc and moves quickly, also run as root "sudo mc" and takes to boot.Any action done with sudo it takes to run.Can not be what it takes to make starting the applications, not the PC because it is new, and from one moment to another I began to pass this
