Now I have multiple entries in the bootloader, the default, the desktop, and the openSUSE 11.3 -2.6.34-12. Since I am new to linux what am I suppose to do with all those entries?

I just installed Linux Mint Debian on my computer and I (heart) it! Everything works perfect but two thing bothers me.
After I updated my system I have some programs I want to uninstall like Evolution, but when I try to, gnome-core and gnome-control-center is deleted too. Is there a way to make it NOT remove those, like a general method?
The next thing thats bothers me is when I uninstall Firefox, another browser is automatically installed. How do I remove firefox without something else is automatically installed?
My interest in Linux started in 99-ish, with Slackware, of course. I gave up on it because my English and computer skills weren't as good so I couldn't make ppp run After that I've tried Red Hat, Knoppix for experimenting mostly. More recently I've tried OpenSUSE and Ubuntu (which were somewhat strange and Windowsified) and then went back to Slackware because I've read and heard that this is what Linux should be.My current Linux "achievements" are compiling a kernel (2.6.34 now, from 2.6.29-6 stock) which made me learn why VESA console support and sky2 device driver are important Ummm, also running Samba and mediatomb and disabling PCMCIA and ACPI crap from init scripts.
After the latest reinstall of Slack, I downloaded the gcc 4.5 source, compiled it and installed it. So while browsing around with pkgtool, I noticed it still says gcc is 4.3.3 so I am planning on removing gcc with pkgtool (after compiling the source) and then, install it again. Which leads me to my question: how to uninstall a program I've installed via "make install" I vaguely recall few sources that also had "make uninstall" but I also tried it on something (I know "something" is really helpful) few days ago and it said there was no rule for 'uninstall'So, how do I uninstall stuff?Obviously reading what "make install" installs and erasing it manually will be a one albeit crude way of doing so.
I'm still struggling with the LFS and don't understand where to find the "make uninstall" file for software I've installed that I may uninstall it.
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and understand installing/removing .deb packages - that's straightforward. The problem I'm having are files that end in ".sh" or ".bin" , ".run" etc. or, the tar balls I download (I guess I would be compiling from source if I use these?)
I know sometimes they have an option like "--uninstall" but not all of them do. I know about the "make uninstall" command but this is where I get confused. Let's say, for instance, I download "foo.tar.bz2", decompress it, configure, make, install - is the "make uninstall" installed into the same folder where the rest of the program is installed, or was it created in the folder where I ran "./configure"? I've been looking in the folders of installed applications and none of them have this "make uninstall" file I keep reading about.
Is there a procedure I should follow as a rule of thumb when installing from .tar file? (Once again, I'm not sure if this is called 'compiling from source' so if someone would correct my understanding it would be a great help) Is the idea to configure, make, install then delete that folder because the software is installed, or do I keep that decompressed folder for later use if I have to uninstall?
I recently installed Splunk on my Fedora 12 machine. It is not working properly and I also don't like where I installed it which was in my downloads folder some how. I cannot figure out how to uninstall this package and the Splunk Doc's are pretty weak.

View 3 Replies View RelatedRecently I installed Ubuntu parallel to windows, since I still have some projects to finish using windows software. While exploring the world of Ubuntu I came across Kubuntu, which looked very nice. Now I made the mistake to download the installation disk and install Kubuntu parallel to Ubuntu and Windows. I played around with Kubuntu for a while, it looks really nice but I decided to stick to Ubuntu. So now I would like to remove Kubuntu, but I don't know how. The same goes for Windows, as soon as I have finished my projects with windows software. I would like to remove it as well, so that finally my computer runs only on Ubuntu.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure of the exact sequence of events, but I install git-daemon on Ibex. I believe this installs runit (??). When I boot, I get the Ubuntu splash screen come up, but about half way through it drops to the console with the message:
Loading the saved-state of the serial devices...
-runit: leave stage: /etc/runit/1
-runit: enter stage: /etc/runit/2
The computer just sits there without starting gdm. Virtual consoles still work, and I am able to startx from a different console. However, I don't have networking (ping doesn't connect to anything, for example), and Gnome complains about failing to initialise HAL.
I have now uninstalled runit, and can now get back to a useable system. I have the same problem and for the same reason, but I can't uninstall runit because I can't log in with, for example, tty1 in tex-mode, because it says that my password is incorrect (and, believe me, I didn't forget my pass, and it hasn't non-ASCII characters, so I don't know what is the problem). The only thing I can do is boot a live CD and do something from it, but the only solution I know is reinstall...
