I have made the choice to go with the LXDE desktop and want to completely remove Gnome and KDE. I know that you can just pick which environment you want at login, but I want to remove Gnome and KDE because they are both quite large and I am trying to optimize my system's drive space and memory.
I have issued the following command to remove KDE, my question is. what packages do I really need? Is this process wiping files and apps that I need? See results below. What command do I use if I want to remove only some of the packages and keep the others?
I want to remove all of my panels, and i simply can't.I've removed the bottom panel, and when i right-click the top panel, the "Delete this panel" option is disabled. I've googled around extensively and can't find a solution that works.
I use Fedora 12 AMD64 and Gnome and some packages like K3B , I want use KDE and I want remove completely Gnome and all thing is depend on Gnome and use install KDE for Default Desktop How I can do this ?
Recently installed F12 through the text based install and have got to GNOME gui but when i got to system/administration i only get two options and those are for display changes. Is there some way to install the features i missed out on? namely Add/remove programs which i can't seem to find anywhere
I created a new panel in Gnome (Fedora 12) and it wasn't showing up right. So I just told it to make another (with the same results), and finally one more. So with the two that are there by default, that's 5 total panels... None of the newly created panels where displaying at all. But after creating the last one the system froze up. Now when I try to boot into fedora my system locks up as it's trying to load GNOME...
Is there any way for me to remove those panels through BASH? So I can just boot to a prompt and get them removed. After that I imagine GNOME will load correctly again...
One of the last nagging issues i'm having with F13, and it's because of a 50k config editor that is inexplicably absent from a 675mb .iso......or am I mistaken?
I am using the X server of Fedora 7 for displaying my application.I am getting the display as I need but I dont want the title bar of gnome terminal titlebar to be displayed.I also dont want the maximize,minimize buttons to be displayed.
any chance, in Fedora 15, to remove the username and the related menu from the top right corner of gnome shell? I don't use IM of any sort, i'm not always connected and I don't like a menu remembering me my name and my availability status...
I've just added an application to load on startup in gnome.At first gnome loads properly,but after few seconds that application starts automatically and I can see its icon on taskbar , then gnome freezes and I can't do anything in gui.
How I can remove that application from starup of gnome using command line?
I just installed KDE and was thinking of if it works to remove Gnome complete and only run KDE? If that would work how do i remove Gnome? I did try to remove Gnome through Add/Remove Software but it didnt work.

I went into YaST -> Software Management -> View -> Patterns -> and I tried to remove the check marks next to GNOME Desktop Environment and GNOME Base System, but it does not work. How do I remove GNOME from my OpenSUSE 11.4 64 bit OS?

Now I have successfully Installed Ubuntu Server (Finally) but then messed up cuz I installed the Gnome GUI and now cant find any place where I can type any sudo commands. vsftpd should work for me right?
Can I just uninstall Gnome? Alt-F2 --> "gnome terminal" doesn't work.
I was wondering if it's possible to remove the gnome panel, I prefer the use of dock-lets and I don't have any use for the panel but when I remove my panel with apt en reboot my computer he seems to be unable to load gnome and I only get a terminal(or KDE desktop when installed) I didn't find another topic on this so I was wondering if it's possible to remove and if, how to achieve it.
Is there any way to take down all panels in GNOME? I'm using the newest AWN, and have no need for the panels. Any way to get rid of the eyesore last one?
I installed kde in ubuntu recently. For a while I didn't need it because I'd been using gnome, but gnome seems to be broken (if I boot up in it, the panel just doesn't show up. I think removing gnome and reinstalling it would be the best solution, but how do I do that? I tried apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop, but it told me that it wasn't installed, so not removed. Did I just get the package name wrong, or what?
I just installed Ubuntu 11.4 on my eeepc 4g ... the problem is, unlike previous versions that left me 1 GB of free space in the hard disk, now I have 300 mb ... I thought to remove gnome because unity graphic is not bad, to have more free space ... How can i do it without repercussions?
I just upgraded to 11.04.. I use awn instead of gnome panel, but since i upgraded the gnomepanel came back (with the new launcher)How do i remove it in 11.04?
I'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"?
To remove pendrive when I click the 'safely remove' tab instead of getting removed from the desktop it reappears again. This problem is there in fedora 14
I installed kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu 10.04 and used 'dpkg-reconfigure gdm' to change it to kdm. Now when I log in application windows are not using default kde decorations, but they use gnome decoration. how do i change it to kde one?
It's my first experience with *nix OS. I needed server for following purposes:
Fileserver on samba Internet gateway VPN gateway DNS
I installed ubuntu 10.04 server edition, but wasn't able to work without graphical environment. So I installed gnome. I installed and tweaked samba and bind9 and network manager and all works fine for now. So I have a question. What will happen if I remove gnome? Especially with network manager? And what will I gain in performance. It's important because I have only an old Dell Optiplex 150 (933/512/10) serving as a server.
What 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.
i just started using cairo and its alright for the time being gonna keep using it. i switch stuff like this off and on. but i am just trying to remove the gnome panel. everything added on is removed from it but it is still there. it is definitely taking away from the cairo look i am tryin to do. anyone know how to remove this let me know the delete this panel button is grayed out.
I went to rearrange the icons on my top gnome-panel today, as some of the notification icons are displayed to the right of the power menu, and whenever I right click on any gnome panel, I get two options only 'Help' and 'About Panels' the menu options for edit, move, remove etc. are gone.
I don't really know where to start with this, as I don�t think I have tried to edit the panel since a clean install, so don't know when it was last OK.
I noticed it is possible to add and remove panels from the Gnome desktop. However, the remove panel option also shows up when I right-click the two default panels for programs and open windows. What happens if I remove one of these panels? Will I be able to restore them?
In Maverick I could remove the last Gnome panel by editing gconf and removing gnome-panel from desktop > gnome > session > required_components.I've just updated to Natty and doing this makes no difference. I assume Unity is doing it now, or maybe zeitgeist?I've grep'd through .local and .config, and checked Startup Applications but it still loads gnome-panel every session.
