General :: Autoremove Deleted Most Of Software Including Desktop On Debian?
Jun 19, 2010
I recently installed virtual box on debian and after it had finished my terminal informed me that I could remove some "unnecessary" software by use of sudo apt-get autoremove. When I did this, some of the icons on the desktop changed and all of the icons in the drop down menu on the bar at the top of the screen also changed to ordinary folder symbols. The theme that I was using also went away. I restarted the computer and it booted back into a shell prompt with no GUI. I tried to get back to the GUI using alt+f7 but it didn't seem to exist

From the terminal I got this message: The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libqt4-opengl freemat freemat-help libgfortran3 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libmikmod2 libqt4-svg libblas3gf libamd2.2.0 libsdl-mixer1.2 libumfpack5.4.0 freemat-data libsmpeg0 Ok, what I really don't understand is that why is it that Freemat, my most important software, is listed as "no longer required"? Of course if I use sudo apt-get autoremove will remove all the mentioned packages including Freemat.

I had installed Debian lenny just two dys back. i am using gnome-desktop. When using apt-get i tried apt-get autoremove and the result was that so many packages were removed for eg. nautilus, gnome-games, gnome-background etc. Then i tried to stop the process in between and installed the packages again (with apt-get install). Now after rebooting i am getting only the desktop without any icons and no commands are working. I can still go to single user mode. How can i get my desktop with all functions.

I recently upgraded my Debian box from Jessie to Stretch. After this, apt informed me that I should issue "apt-get autoremove," however the package list to be effected was large and contained some important packages (xorg being just one example). Most of the packages are qt4 related, and I at first assumed qt5 equivalents had replaced them, but seeing network-manager and xorg in the list made me pause.

apt-get suggetsed I should remove some packages I was no longer using. I've read the threads that explain this, but unfortunately I did that just now, not when I actually ran the damn command. I must say, however, that there were lots of things I wasn't actually using, so it was useful in a way. But there is a problem:
I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and to get my sound keys working (the mute, volume up and volume down keys) I had to go to Settings-->Regional & Accessibility-->Keyboard Layout and there in Keyboard model I chose the option Dell Laptop/Notebook Inspiron 6xxx/8xxx. I know that's not exactly my model, but that made my sound keys work fine. Well, since I did the autoremove thing, that stopped working. I haven't got a clue what library was being used to get the sound keys working.

I've been using Debian for around ~3 months now, though before that a certain derivative thereof since the start of the year.Long story short is that I was installing packages, as you do, when apt-get prompted that I run apt-get autoremove, as it does. So, trusting the computer, I do, not bothering to read the chunk of packages that it recommends to remove. Life goes on, until a reboot reveals that there are issues.Short story shorter, a quick cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep remove spits out the following:
root@kubrick:~# cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep remove
2011-09-05 22:04:09 startup packages remove
2011-09-05 22:04:09 remove gnome-user-share 2.30.1-1 2.30.1-1

I have just installed squeeze and I changed my source.list from squeeze to testing then did dist-upgrade/upgrade.After using for a while, I notice that apt tells me there are many packages no longer requires, all of them are default packages in Debian GNOME. If I use 'apt-get autoremove', of course, I lose almost everything in my GNOME desktop.Why apt tells me those packages are no longer required? It's ok or something is broken in my system? I switched from stable repo to testing repo several times before, but this is the first time I face this problem

I want to create a LiveDVD with lots of packages that do not exist in repos. Stuff that I built from source...
OpenFOAM with my own customized solvers and utilities, Tetgen, Netgen ,GMSH with OpenCascade support, BRL-CAD, Code-Aster, Salome Platform, Code Saturne, FreeMat, K3d...
Some of these apps have been compiled with Intel development toolbox, icc/ifort/mkl. Mainly scientific/Engineering stuff. How do I include all these packages in a custom Live Build...?

I am new and recently almost one month back installed debian linux stable 8.2 came from windows. Today I upgrade my debian stable 8.2 to testing and everything works fine. Just one thing is that I checked kernel and find :
uname -r
4.2.0-1-amd64
dpkg --list | grep linux-image
ii linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u5 amd64 Linux 3.16 for 64-bit PCs
ii linux-image-4.2.0-1-amd64 4.2.3-2 amd64 Linux 4.2 for 64-bit PCs
ii linux-image-amd64 4.2+68 amd64 Linux for 64-bit PCs (meta-package)
I am first time removing old kernel so cant take risk from searching the solution from google so come here, what and how to remove that includes everything like kernel image and other old kernel files not needed.
One more thing I just realised and saw on details in settings gnome that
Base : Debian GNU/Linux stretch/sid 64-bit
Is this right as it says sid in the line but i just changed my sources.list to testing only and then aptitude upgrade and full-upgrade then just.

I'm setting up an Ubuntu Computer Lab at my kids' school, and am trying to find a way to lock certain icons to the desktop. For example, I need each user to have Firefox on the desktop, and not be able to delete it. I've tried doing a chown on the Firefox shortcut and changing ownership to root, or to myself, but the student account can still just delete it with no problems. I've also tried using Sabayon, and while it does bring the shortcut back at each logon, it's not "Marked as Trusted" which is an annoying constant popup.How can I ensure that when logged on, each user will have a Firefox shortcut, along with a couple other mandatory ones? Some logon script maybe?

Yesterday I accidentaly deleted all files from my desktop (with rm). Now I am looking for way how to recover them.
I tried to use scalpel to recover them which found many files (more than 800000 zip files). I stopped the process cause It would take ages. I would like to recover files only from desktop folder. Is this possible?
Is there some other good recovery program?
Using Ubuuntu 10.04.

I had a pretty much standard installation according to some tutorial (I don't remember, which one) for courier, including ssl. After upgrading from Wheezy (7) to Jessie (8) everything continued working fine, excep ssl connections to pop or imap.
In the log I get this error message while connecting to imapd-ssl:
Code: Select allFeb 26 20:16:22 mx imapd-ssl: couriertls: connect: error:1408A0C1:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:no shared cipher
First I thought there got some chiphers removed from default configuration. But even when I try to allow all protocols and all ciphers:
Code: Select allTLS_PROTOCOL="SSL23"
TLS_CIPHER_LIST="ALL"
And then test via s_client:
Code: Select all# openssl s_client -connect 127.0.0.1:993 -cipher ALL
CONNECTED(00000003)
3073349308:error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure:s23_clnt.c:770:
---
no peer certificate available
---
No client certificate CA names sent
---
SSL handshake has read 7 bytes and written 341 bytes
---
New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE)
Secure Renegotiation IS NOT supported
Compression: NONE
Expansion: NONE
---
TLS over STARTTLS is also not working and does not invoke a log-entry. So I want to solve the ssl-problem first. I guess the STARTTLS-problem is automatically solved then.
My update procedure was:
Editing /etc/apt/sources.listapt-get updateapt-get upgradeapt-get dist-upgradeKeep all configuration files regarding courier.

I have a ELRO C903ip.2 camera. I want to use it on zoneminder but am having trouble connecting. I have set a basic account of visitor with username and password both set as visitor.
The question is what is the syntax to the cameras ipaddress via http passing the u/n and p/w at the same time as part of the http string? I have tried the web page: [URL] .... to no avail, i must be missing something pretty obvious but just can't see it for looking.

Ubuntu 10.04. Also have Kubuntu desktop installed. Usually use Ubuntu. Home folder shows as the desktop. Checked settings for Nautilus, Home_folder_is_Desktop is NOT checked. ~/Desktop folder does not exist. .config/user-dirs.dir desktop line is set to XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/"
So, created the ~/Desktop folder. Changed the line in user-dirs.dir to read XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop". Log out. Log back in. Result:
Home folder shows as the desktop. Checked settings for Nautilus, Home_folder_is_Desktop is NOT checked. ~/Desktop folder does not exist. .config/user-dirs.dir desktop line is set to XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/"
Logged into the KDE desktop. It complains that the ~/Desktop folder does not exist. Shows nothing on the desktop. Create the ~/Desktop folder. Set KDE to use the ~/Desktop folder. Check .config/user-dirs.dir and make sure that the Home folder shows as the desktop. Checked settings for Nautilus, Home_folder_is_Desktop is NOT checked. ~/Desktop folder does not exist. .config/user-dirs.dir desktop line is set to XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" line is in. Everything is set. Log out.
Log in to Ubuntu. Result:
Home folder shows as the desktop. Checked settings for Nautilus, Home_folder_is_Desktop is NOT checked. ~/Desktop folder does not exist. .config/user-dirs.dir desktop line is set to XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/"
This problem showed up on two computers after a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 followed by an install of the Kubuntu desktop. Might as well install Kubuntu desktop because some of the utilities I like to use (Kate, Krusader, etc) require that major parts of it be installed anyway. What appears to be happening is that the user-dirs.dir folder is getting ignored and is overwritten either on logout or login and the ~/Desktop folder is being deleted.

I've basically gone and messed up my entire desktop. The curious (idiotic) me was experimenting with the desktop, and went and somehow deleted all the panels. After 3 days of frustration, I've been unable to recover any form of menu or panel. So far, I've tried restoring the defaults from the terminal. Unfortunately, I can't open a terminal window. I can run it using Ctrl+Alt+F2, but it refuses to open any windows or run any programs. Most commands give me some form of 'cannot open display.' I can't minimize windows without losing them so my workspace is a mess, I can't run nautilus as root so I can't access Synaptic, and the list basically goes on and on.

Following bad instructions too fast to reset the default keyring password I deleted the file .gnome2/login.keyring ! I can still login and get to a terminal and do instructions from there. I can also still login with root and a guest account. But my desktop is just blank and I can't, even as a root, access my files.

I'm trying to tar a collection of files in a directory called 'my_directory' and remove the originals by using the command:
tar -cvf files.tar my_directory --remove-files
However it is only removing the individual files inside the directory and not the directory itself (which is what I specified in the command). What am I missing here?

I have local Wordpress database that got corrupt as a result of an abrupt power outage (I wasn't even editing it!).
Since the system I am dealing with is pretty static (and old), I just want to restore that database file (or collection of files) from a nightly backup.
But I don't know which files I should be restoring. The WordPress blog in question is installed under a local user account in an old Linux server (FC4).
I checked the wp-content directory, but apparently this is not where the content is:
Any idea which file(s) I should be restoring and what their path is?
