I would like to be able to do what the package cleaner does in Ubuntu Tweak. What sort of command line magic is needed to clear unused config files, old kernels, cache and packages?
View 5 RepliesI am using Debian 7.8 64 bits and I have the following problem:
When I open by a root terminal the utility called "gnome-tweak-terminal" some errors are displayed in the respective terminal.

Installed Jessie and added the Nvidia Proprietary drivers. All looks good.
When I open the Gnome Tweak Tool it appears to be working fine but won't change anything. If I click on a check box the check appears for a split second and then disappears. Tried re-starting a few times, same. Haven't found anything relevant on the net yet.
I'm using gnome shell 3.4.2.1 from the stable debian repository. 2 problems with the gnome-tweak-tool:
1) The extensions list is empty, even when the gnome-shell-extensions package is installed
2) in the non-classic mode only, setting made in the tool have no effect: e.g. Shell->Show date in clock does not toggle the date in the clock.

Any-one using the Linux version of Click-Repair? [URL] I have been trying Gnome Wave Cleaner but no matter how I configure it there is unacceptable deterioration of audio quality when used in any auto modes. In the past I have trialled Wave Repair and found it acceptable though they have no Linux version. [URL]
Can I expect an improvement over GWC using Click-Repair ? for the outlay of some $$$, or is GWC the best I can hope for using Ubuntu. Or, is it back to the tedious 'manual de-click' for every LP.

It takes forever for me to find an existing menu item if I want to change or delete it, but deleting existing pre-defined groups (such as "Amusement", "Art and Culture", and "Games for Kids") doesn't work. They simply won't delete.
View 2 Replies View RelatedNot exactly new to Linux but - over the years I have been appalled to find hundreds of configuration files for every known program/service in Linux with millions of lines of useless comments that you have to endlessly scroll up-and-down in a text-editor to find anything of value and then make sense of what you need to configure/change, etc.
Is there an automated way to clean up any given configuration file and get rid of the "filler" stuff ?Seems like a shell script should be able to accomplish the task by getting rid of all lines that start with # ..
i have the following script which takes as input parameter a webpage and extract the emails from it. The results are correct but i was wondering whether i could rewrite it in a better, 'cleaner' manner. I think my for loop is a bit. primitive and also each email is printed twice
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo $1
echo "The script starts now."
echo "Hi, $USER!"
wget $1 -O webpage.txt
awk '

for (i=1;i<=NF;i++) {

I am writing some code in matlab and I would like to do some reading of how to write cleaner code and how to name variables and write comments. One more questions. Let's say that I find for example a file that has really nice structured comments. For example specific format commenting function inputs, outputs author code. Can afterwards copy and paste and use someone's comments format or this is might some copyright problem?
