I did apt-get install qtcreator and it installed qt 4.5.3(qt4.5.2real) I had qt 4.5.2. If I go in Applications->programming I see 2 shortcuts for qtcreator, one of them being newer. How do I remove the older one? On another note, if I want to update Qt to 4.6 what would be the steps if I already have qt 4.5

got the same thing in terms of a u: number but the issue is I need to remove duplicates and just leave one and the file has multiple duplicates of different u: numbers and it's 14,000 lines long. can anyone tell me if I can use awk? sed? or sort for something like this to? removing lines that have a certain string in there that's a duplicate.
The bad news comes that active support for Mint6 is set to end Apr. 30. The worse news is I don't know what to do about it. Complicating this is that I have about 5 drive partitions and duplicate Mint6 operating systems because of password problems and just partitioning the drive and rebooting the OS instead of trying to fix the issue. I hear good things about Mint8, but my 80 Gig drive is getting pretty thin on partitions. I know there must be a way to safely remove the partitions and duplicate operating systems. I just don't know how to do it.
Bear in mind that LIBS can be variable, I mean I need to drop any duplicate and only retain the last one of each different entry. And we must keep the order as is, I must not sort out them.
I have Fedora 11 installed-32bit-with xfce installed as the desktop. When I click on the fedora icon for the menu and select Preferences, there are 2 input methods listed even though I did not have any installed.Since there is no menu editor any more, does anybody know how to edit the menu so that I can get rid of these entries?

I have a huge (over 10 gb) file with a list of IP's each followed by a corresponding number like this:
Code:
12.32.34.23 10 143.32.34.543 11 232.32.45.65 12 54.23.5.232 13 143.32.34.43 14 and so on..
I'm trying to sort this file numerically and weed out any duplicate IP addresses. How do I do this on bash? I have come up with this but obviously it does'nt work.
Thanks y'all for the great script and explanation. This helped a lot in my own project. I thought I'd share the efforts.The project is this: I've got lots of duplicate JPGs from all the family members who've named the same photo with different names. Since md5sum generates a "fingerprint" based on the file contents, not the name, I want to use the md5sum of each jpg to uniquely name each photo and also remove exact duplicates.
It has the following flaws: 0) it doesn't handle certain non-alphanumerics 1) it keeps both photo-shopped and unaltered photos (different md5s) 2) it (currently) doesn't preserve descriptive filenames.
(For me, removal of duplicates is more important than keeping the filenames. I may change that to concatenate the md5 and the filename.)Please note that the commented "rename" command should be used to strip non-aphanumerics from the file names, and the script should be launched with the commented "find" command.
I would like to check two folders for duplicate files (two pretty old backup instances).
MY folders are quite alike so I would like to stop the NON-duplicated files for that I want to be able to do some checks not only for the filename but alsofor the filesize (might be the case that two files have same name but not size).
The ideal would be to suggest me such a program with gui but if not I will try run any script code that is available outhere.
Contained within each of these 67 text files is about 1 million urls. Yes. I have 67 text files that contain 1 million lines of urls each. I am sure I am swimming in duplicates. I tried opening one text file and clicking sort ----->remove duplicates. Now Gedit is not responding my processor is maxed out to 100% and I think I am finally ready to delve into some command line code. Can anyone give me idiot proof instructions on how to sort the duplicates out of each one of these 67 text files? How about no duplicates across all 67?
So I've been trying to install 11.04 on my laptop for a couple days. I tried the USB install a countless amount of times, and I tried upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 to 11.04, but it never worked. I finally installing it from Windows by the wubi installer, and now it works perfectly.
What I want to do now is remove 10.04, as well as GRUB. GRUB first comes up, and I select my Windows partition. Then I choose Ubuntu to load, and then another GRUB comes up. how do I remove 10.04, as well as make loading Ubuntu more simple?
i have a big file of random numbers i generated at some point in time, after working with it with different things(how fun that was)... i want to remove duplicate lines and i'm not sure i'm doing this right
I have just upped from lenny to squeeze. I didn't mean to, really, but the package manager was well into its stride by the time I realised what was happening. Mostly all went well, BUT /usr is now 100% full. I notice that there are duplicate files in /usr/lib, eg Oct 11 22:35 libgcj.so.10.0.0 and Sep 14 2008 libgcj.so.90.0.0 (I assume the latter has been replaced by the former?). Is it safe to remove the "outdated" lib files? Is there an elegant way of doing it?
I need to know how to make a program use a version of python older than the newest one. I am trying to run the Traipse fork of OpenRPG. Through their forums, I have learned that one of my problems is that I am running too new a version of python. I have python 2.7.1 installed.
I also have python2.6.6 installed, so I should be able to use that. My first thought was to uninstall 2.7.1 and just use the older version. The problem is that if i uninstall 2.7.1, it wants to also uninstall all the packages dependent on that program. Let's face it, in Natty Narwhal, that is pretty much everything.
Do you know how to force Traipse make it use the 2.6 version?
Using Synaptic and/or terminal is great and so easy, but i have noticed that applications are not always the latest versions that are in the repository ie cups for instance So if i wanted to download the latest app from a website, what is the best way to install, based on having an earlier version already installed. Is it better to just install over an older version or remove the older version, and then install the new version clean
If you remove and older version of an application first, what is the best method for doing this and removing any residual files etc that might be left on your system?
I installed nagios program from tar.gz file (from source basically). I didn't use dpkg or apt-get, I used 'configure','make install' and then 'make' scripts. How can I remove this progrma from debian system ?
I just downloaded a new app(vrs call logging) which doesn't work very well. I'm just trying to figure out how to properly remove the program. I've drilled down to the "uninstall.sh" but it will not run the uninstall program.
I have a text file with many pairs of number, one pair in each line. Each 25 of these pairs are a solution to a math problem I've been working on, and each solution is separated from another by a line with "**********".The problem is that there are duplicate solutions. In order to know exactly how many solutions I found, I have to delete the duplicate ones. How can I do that?Just to make things clear, here are the first three solutions:
Theres two main things im trying to remove. First, Wine which I need to keep, has about 15 different entries which I want to remove. Second I installed OpenMPT, a music tracking program through Wine. This added about 10 duplicate open with entries.. I uninstalled OpenMPT, because I decided I didnt want it, but all the entries remain.
When I highlight one of the entries, the remove button is still disabled. Its disabled for Wine, OpenMPT, and every other program in the list.
My emacs editor is messed up so I tried to remove it via synaptic. It gave me an error and exited. Is there any way to manually remove that data so I can freshly re-install my favorite editor?
