View 3 RepliesSo the other day my window list applet was somehow connected with a crash, and ubuntu asked me if I wanted to remove it. I accidentally clicked yes not realizing what it was, and now ubuntu does not list the windows open on a workspace at the bottom of the screen - terribly annoying! how to get this back? Poking through the software manager and synaptic and googling aren't helping.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOriginally I installed both GNOME and KDE. Later, grew tired of KDE and its applications making space on my menu, so I decided to uninstall it, using yum groupremove. I didn't notice that yum was also removing Network Manager and other programs needed by GNOME. Then, when I restarted the computer, it freezes before it could show the "user login". I'm able to access the Linux command line if I press F1 during loading, but I don't know what to do next! I tried to fix the GRUB configuration, but it didn't have any effect.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was removing the latest two kernels installed because of some issues with compiz and stuffs. And I accidentally removed the only kernel left too. Now, grub has only one entry for Windows. I used "yum remove kernel-.....". Now, I'm stuck, I don't want to re-install the system. It FC11 using LVM. Is there any way I can install re-install the kernel only. What I'm thinking of is copying the kernel image from a live fc11 or installing via rpm on maintenance mode if its possible.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAs I attempted to uninstall an MP3 decoder through the command line, I may have also uninstalled the boot loader to Fedora 13. I entered the command to uninstall the program as su - , left for a second, and upon my return I noticed a lot of things were being uninstalled. After canceling the process I turned of my computer and now when I try to start it, my computer freezes after the Fedora icon appears on the blue screen. After looking through the online manuals, I think I uninstalled the GRUB boot loader. I've been trying to reinstall it through the image on the DVD, but it keeps getting stuck on the blue screen. I use a Toshiba satellite with no partitions.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI installed Adobe Reader from the repository, but didn't like it (it takes way to long to load a page evince does instantly).I've removed it with the package manager, purged it with apt-get, completely removed it with synaptic, and set the right click to always use evince; the thing is still the preferred program and double-clicking on a pdf still tries to use Adobe and fails every time. This is really annoying in that Chrome tries to use Adobe to open pdf files too, so now I have to open my download folder, right-click, click "open with", and click "document viewer" (all for something that used to take one click!)

No matter, I thought, maybe I'll just restart (restart on Linux!? I must be mad!) and it'll just disappear. Nope, it still starts up like it always has.I could of course just manually remove it.... but it feels so untidy.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed Fedora 15 alongside Ubuntu, only to discover that it doesn't play nice with Ubuntu and this means that even though I formatted the Fedora Partition and made it into a new one, (i needed around a 7gb space for video editing files etc, so it is optimised for this). Anyway, that's off topic. Even though all traces of Fedora are gone, everyone time I go to boot from the HardDrive, it goes into Fedora's starting screen (the blue one with the loading icon) and then says it failed and gives a little command line.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to find if a package is a dependency of some other package/s that you have installed it.
For instance, let's say there is a library called libkolabxml1
Now if I just install it and ask :-
Code: Select all$$ aptitude why libkolabxml1
Unable to find a reason to install libkolabxml1.
But I remember it being useful/needed somewhere.
I installed the Ubuntu 11.04 inside of Win 7 via Wubi. It works great and I don't want to reinstall it again, now I want to reinstall my Win 7, is there a way to keep Ubuntu?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have updated my Windows from Vista to 7. I knew that this would mess up my GRUB so that it wouldn't show on boot. However, it seems as if my GRUB has uninstalled.
I have tried to reinstall it with a Live CD but this didn't work. Maybe I was doing something wrong. I'm sorry if I'm asking a question that has already been posted but I could only find ways to make your GRUB reappear, not reinstall it.
I'm stuck with Windows 7 for a week or two now and I really want to get back to using Ubuntu!
I gave apt-get autoremove python which removed all the installed components in ubuntu now ubuntu does not boot into graphical mode I am just having the terminal to work on. Is there a way I can restore.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was trying to setup a static IP and the first stage was to uninstall Network Manager. Done. Great, now I have no internet to see what the next stage is.
For about 3 hours now I've been farting about trying to install Wicd without an internet connection but has proved fruitless.
Basically, how do I install Wicd without a connection? Or reinstall Network Manager?
I'm running 10.04.
I uninstalled Empathy in favour of Pidgin, but the Empathy entry still appears in my application menu, even though it leads nowhere and uses a question marked icon.

View 3 Replies View Relatedthought i'd try the firefox add on noscripts. didn't like it, uninstalled. now it is blocking things regardless and seemingly randomly. the forums for instance are a dog's breakfast.
why is this thing still ambling around like an aimless zombie? occasionally firefox just locks up and all i can do is shut it down. when i restart the machine or logout it makes no diff. the aimless noscripts zombie still lurks, playing havoc with my web experience.
any suggestions on how to completely kill this beast would be more than welcome. this machine runs smooth as and rock solid generally. the last thing i expected was some add-on bomb completely screwing things over. cheers.
edit: hmm, just had a thought. seems like java is not working so i look in add-ons and java add-ons seem to be uninstalled also. i'll have a tweak and get back ...
edit 2: when i go to videos, there are no thumbnails of the vids, just white squares and text, yet when i click a vid it plays without a problem. what the heck is happening? i don't believe that add-on could create so much havoc ... i didn't even make any changes to noscripts! installed it and visited about five websites then uninstalled.
I had 10.04 installed using wubi. I used it only for pictures. I uninstalled that version and installed 11.04 as a true dual-boot. I forgot to back up some pictures on the 10.04. Is there a way to recover them?

Anyone know which package I should install?
I have downloaded a Non-free Deb pkg, when I tried to install it using "# dpkg -i pkgname", it appeared to install as expected. The pkg exists, I found the new directory and the executable file, but if I try to run it I get kicked out of my session, and back to GDM.
When I run "# dpkg -l pkgname", immediately after the install, I get this: "un pkgname <none> (no description available)"
Since it is not installed I can not remove it, or reconfigure it.
I run Debian Testing with Openbox as my window manager.
I am new to Linux and have Fedora 14 installed in my home pc and notebook, I installed open office 3.3.0 in both.

I have been doing all the updates till now.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I had decided to install debian but I thought I couls do it by myself without anything which I was wrong about, because I wound up installing Debian on my C: drive/windows partition. So far nothing has been bad and I am still running windows but now my C: drive has been renamed to "Install Debian GNU/Linux" I know the name doesn't mean shit but I'm curious why every time I go to change it it auto changes back. Also now every time it boots up it asks me to choose between UNetbootin, which i uninstalled, and windows. how do i get rid of the option to remove unetbootin even though I uninstalled the program. Same with Debian I deleted everything i could find but it still changes the drive name, how to fix any of this and might there be files I haven't found where would they be located?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI use Jessie, with the Aptitude curses interface for package management. It seems that every time I successfully uninstall/purge a package (along with its dependencies), then the next time I try to install/uninstall anything else it wants to reinstall that package (and its dependencies). It takes several (I haven't counted) "don't install" instructions from me before it will forget about it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI know, why did I uninstall Open Office. Well I am running 11.3 with KDE 4. I did a clean install in December 2010. This is the first time I have updated an old database. I updated the database and then opened a new writer document and pressed F4. OpenOffice closed.
When I recovered the documents I tried F4 again and it closed. So I looked on this forum and found this: OpenOffice crash if I view database Post #8 seems to have the problems solved. So I went to YAST and unticked OpenOffice. I then went to OpenOffice.org and after reading the information about distributions own packages. Also realising that it was a tar.gz, I got cold feet and decided against installing from OpenOffice.org.
I went back to YAST and ticked OpenOffice, but it does not appear to be there anymore. I tried the start icon (bottom left corner), but it is not in there. I have tried opening a document, but it was opened with Okular. I think I have not ticked a box I should have. OpenOffice has a lot of entries in YAST, how do I capture the information so I can show it here? Or do I need to take several screenshots.
I installed amarok recently on 11.4 and it was slowing things down so I un-installed it but things are still slower than they were before. I un-installed all the mysql stuff that was was downloaded and installed during the amarok installation but this hasn't really helped either.
View 9 Replies View RelatedEvery time I booted in 9.10, Python requested a password. I didn't plan to do any programming very soon (I'm new to Linux, although I know Unix) because I'm just learning the shell, etc, so I decided to uninstall Python through the Package Manager. I selected all of the installed Python modules and when I clicked "Apply" I was informed that there was one module (Python minimum something) that would seriously effect the whole system, so I unchecked that module and then ran the uninstall. When it completed, Firefox was gone, the two music players I had installed where gone, I couldn't log out and when I try to reboot I get a message "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" and I go through several other menus, but I still can't get the system to boot.I assume a reinstall is in order, but should I "clean up" any of the remaining Linux modules/partition? And what's the best way to do that?
