CentOS 5 :: Want To Remove X/Gnome Completely?
Jan 18, 2010I'm installing CentOS from the netinstall in Virtualbox now. I was about to post a different thread because Anaconda kept crashing on me. Whenever I would try to uncheck Gnome, clicking next would always fail. I really don't want Gnome, but I need to get the VM installed, so I just accepted the default software selection. (It's not an iso problem either because I originally tried the DVD as well.)I've been using Linux for several years, but I need to use a GUI-less server. I found some instructions on how to disable X by entering runlevel 3, but that's not what I want to do. Is there a meta-package that I can remove "yum remove" and it will remove all the GUI dependencies, or perhaps something like "yum groupremove"?

Jul 26, 2010What I am trying to do is remove the title bar completely in gnome, it would be nice to be able to choose which applications had the bar and which did not, but I would be perfectly satisfied with just removing them from every window. I assume this is controlled by the window manager which would make it a metacity setting? Anyway, I have an 11in screen on my netbook and I cannot stand having such a big chunk of real estate wasted by such a useless feature, especially when I can perform all the window functions with keyboard shortcuts.

View 2 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Steam Repo Install Completely Wrecks System
Aug 20, 2015I've been carefully installing and personalizing a Debian 8 "Jessie" 64-bit install on my laptop for the last few days. Played some games, did some downloading and stuff and decided to want to run steam again, as I have done on many Ubuntu installs in the past.
So I followed this guide: [URL] ....
and of course, I read the warnings: Only do this on Jessie or SID, not on Wheezy. So I was in the clear. I thought.
After giving 'aptitude install steam' all hell broke loose. The script starting demolishing/removing almost everything under the KDE shell. Wireless network, apps, even the ability to reboot the system from the GUI were utterly and completely destroyed. After the script ended I had to reboot the system through an alternate CLI shell only to discover X was complete gone.
So I don't think there is anything else I can do now except re-installing the complete system? Bye bye Wesnoth saved games, downloads, etcetera...

Debian :: How To Remove Gnome Panel But Able To Launch Run Prompt
Feb 7, 2011Fresh Squeeze install: I have AWN running and right now I have used gconf-editor to stop gnome-panel from being a part of the Gnome Sessions. I think it was in Desktop -> Sessions -> Default Settings..or something like that. Before I did this I was just clearing out the entries for the top panel, using Apps -> Panel -> and then it was top_panel or something like that. I'm at work so I cannot fully verify, after I deleted the bottom panel. This still allowed me to use ALT + F2 to bring up the run prompt.
Since removing gnome-panel from the session, I cannot use ALT + F2 anymore. If I were to put gnome-panel back, is there a way to keep the panels from recreating themselves after I remove them from within gconf-editor? If I leave gnome-session alone, whenever I reboot the top panel keeps coming back. I have everything I want running out of the AWN dock, so I want to remove the panels completely but still have the ability to launch the run prompt.

Ubuntu :: 10.10 - How To Remove Grub Completely
Nov 23, 2010I need to reinstall both windows and ubuntu as dual boot. I tried to install windows 7 from the recovery partition but after windows starts the recovery and then does its first reboot it always loads to the grub prompt. I booted with ubuntu 10.10 live cd and wiped off all the partitions except the windows recovery partition and I tried sudo ms-sys -m /dev/sda3 which is supposed to restore the windows mbr but still when I reboot it just boots to the grub command prompt with windows only partially installed.
If I completely wiped off the old ubuntu partition and the windows partition then how can grub still be loading up? where is grub located? How to completely remove grub. I don't have a windows recovery cd, I only have the recovery partition which is still intact. I have tried to install ubuntu first and make an ntfs partition but when I try to install windows the recovery partition program says there is not enough space to install windows but there is 260gb.
