On my other Linux installation, every time I try installing KDE Trinity, I can't remove KDE 3.5 without making it impossible to start KDE. Can anyone give me some tips on how to safely uninstall KDE 3.5 after Trinity is installed? I uninstalled 3.5 by uninstalling all the components one-by-one in Synaptic.

I installed mysql on Ubuntu linux with the command apt-get install mysql-server. How do i competely uninstall it?
Is there a way when i install the server to configure the server options (e.g. where the data directory is). I know how to change this once installed but i was wondering if there was a way to do it during the installation for ease. All i remember from the installation procedure is that you can set the root password.

I installed VMware server on my CentOS 5 machine. I had problems getting that working. Then I installed VMware Workstation. That worked fine. Then I tried using VMware server, but apparently VMware Workstation deleted some of VMware Servers files. So, I uninstalled VMware Workstation.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have Ubuntu running with GNOME and for fun I installed Kubuntu KDE 4. After that I installed Trinity and have fallen in love with it. But I am having an odd issue with the theming of various pop up appearing as KDE 4 rather than as Trinity. Can I uninstall KDE 4 without removing anything from Trinity? Can I isolate the two environments better so I can avoid removal of kDE4?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHas anyone successfully installed Fedora Core 11 on a system with a Tyan Trinity KT-400 S2495 motherboard? I have two systems with this motherboard. I tried to install FC11 from the live CD. Both systems have AGP video cards based on the Nvidia GForce-2, although the cards are of different brands. On one system, FC11 installed, but after the machine is booted and I log-in, it runs slower and slower until it is effectively frozen after about fifteen minutes. Somtimes a "Kernel Failure" window will pop up. A momentary press of the power butting will bring up a shutdown window and shut the machine down after a wait of 60 seconds.) By doing several reboots, I did manage to update the installation. (My complements to the developers on the fact that the package download will pick up where it left off).
However it still freezes. On the other system, when the Live Cd has booted, the keyboard and mouse don't work, so I can't do the installation. I tried a different keyboard and mouse, tried rebooting several times. When I boot the machine from SystemRescueCd (kernel 2.3.29) the keyboard works in the text mode. I used the "wizard" command to try various graphical modes. In the default Xorg graphical interface, the keyboard works but the mouse doesn't. In the "Vesa" graphical interface, neither the keyboard nor the mouse work. I tried the Ubuntu 8.04 live CD and the keyboard and mouse don't work. I tried an FC 8 install Cd, the keyboard works in the installation screens but the mouse doesn't. I replaced the Nvidia AGP card with a Voodoo 3dFx PCI video card. The system won't finish posting. It hangs on the second screen. This system formerly ran Windows 2000 OK and before that it ran Window 98. But perhaps it's now defective?
I installed Kubuntu 10.10 Trinity, ran the updates, installed a number of programs, and somewhere along the line all the device icons disappeared from the desktop. I didn't notice exactly when it happened because I couldn't see the desktop most of the time. They're all still checked in Configure Desktop / Behavior / Device Icons; I can check or uncheck whatever I want there, but it has no effect. How I can get them back?

I am a person who is interested in Software development, as well as web development. So far I used just Windows as OS, and did much in the .NET framework. Now I wanna switch to Ubuntu and make some programs with Java using Eclipse. Also do I want to design/develop web pages using Ubuntu.
I had a nice start in Ubuntu and I think I have learned the very basics. So let's come to my first Question:
How can I uninstall a program without using the Synaptic Manager nor the Softwarecenter?
How did I came to this Question? -> In Windows, I had a working WAMP set up. Now I want to set up a LAMP in Ubuntu. There is a packet ready to install a LAMP, but I found it too late. Too late means, I already have installed the Apache myself, using Introductions from a book.
The book is an open 'Galileo' book and can be found here:
[url]
The used shell commands are/were:
After this installation, the Apache Server has been installed to
Now is my plan to get rid of this installation and use the LAMP offered in the Synaptic Manager.
How can I uninstall the Apache Server? Or How can I uninstall something by my self in general? I do not want to create a mess. I guess it is not enough to delete just the whole Apache folder, right?
I somehow installed 2 versions of ubuntu on my computer. how do i uninstall them to start over? it ony shows me a black screen , but does say theres not enough room to do anything
View 6 Replies View RelatedI installed Backtrack 4 and it is set up as a dual boot with my Windows 7 x64 bit. I want to uninstall Backtrack because I am going to put it on a different computer. The problem is - I can't do it. My laptop is an Asus K61IC, and it doesn't come with an installation CD, because the OS was factory installed. It comes with a recovery wizard instead, which gives me the options to 1) recover to first partition only, 2) recover to entire HD, and 3) recover to entire HD with 2 partitions. Because of Grub and it asking for me to choose what operating system to boot when I start my computer, when I recover Windows 7 to the entire HD and try to boot, it gives me Grub error 22. I need to fix my MBR so that the grub menu is also deleted and all of Backtrack 4 is removed, actually letting me back onto my Windows 7. I need a way to delete the Linux partition, and fix the MBR, but I don't know how to do that because I don't have an installation disk.

I tried to change the RAM and the hard drives to no avail.I'm thinking that it's an hardware failure, but can't track it down: what could it be? Video card? Motherboard?
EDIT: I ran 7 successful memtest - not even an error. I have to look at the harddisk ribbons and the motherboard.
EDIT No.2: I tried another harddrive, switching to sata connectors to no avail: the sata harddisk it isn't even recognized...Can it be the video card, or it will be the Motherboard?
I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop alongside Windows 7 on the second 320 GB hard drives and now I want to replace it with a 750 GB hard drive, but when I removed it the grub was gone and Windows (on the first hard drive) wouldn't load. This was a mistake, since the grub is installed on the same hard disk as Ubuntu. I want to use GPorted to delete the partitions on the hard drive, but when I boot with it and use the hard drive partition editor it won't let me delete or move one of the partitions. Does this partition contain the grub and if so how do I move it onto my other hard drive?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn KDE Trinity, when you move a file from somewhere to soemwhere else, one of the options along with "copy" and "move" is "lancelot part," which has a little goblet next to it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFor all interested in running kde 3 on slackware: now I am testing trinity installed on kubuntu maverick. I installed maverick using LiveDVD prepared by Timothy Pearsons. I must say that trinity really deserve its code name kde 3.5.12. Of course the main point is that it is running under newest ubuntu release with Linux 2.6.35.x kernel. Each kde 3 user will find here some new cool staffs. For example there are different system menus - classical k-menu, kbfx menu and... yes, kick-off menu - working in the same way as in kde 4. Honestly I don't understand why trinity can run on ubuntu but cannot run on slackware. Both are Linuxes, are they not? Finally a word about distribution prepared by Timohty: cool. Full suit of kde 3 applications. Full kde development suite (not that pathetic remains shipped with kde 4)
View 14 Replies View RelatedI've just moved all my machines from Ubuntu to Squeeze and am currently trying to remove Open Office.

I have a problem with Opera 11.10. I can't seem to uninstall it. There is no package related to it in Synaptics Package Manager. It isn't listed in the Software Center.
When I search for "opera" in Unity search it shows up and I can launch it. The launch command is "application://opera-browser.desktop/." but there is no file like that in /usr/share/applications folder.
Also, when I install Opera 11.50, then it installs separately and still launches 11.10 from the Unity search.
