View 3 RepliesI would like to remove openSUSE (11.3) from my dual boot (/Windows) system. In the old days, the install CD used to have an option for that, but now my DVD doesn't have anything, or perhaps I overlooked?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am running Open Suse 11.4 and I am wanting to uninstall GNOME 3.0, can it be done and have the system go back to the orginal GNOME? If so what do I need to do...
View 6 Replies View RelatedFor various reasons I want to completely uninstall Suse 11.3, including the stuff in GRUB, and start again,without upsetting my other distro which is also in the GRUB options. This so I can do a fresh clean inatall when I'm ready.I know I could just reformat the relevant partitions, but I guess that doesn't deal with the GRUB issue?

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?

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I recently installed openSUSE KDE (latest build, don't know the number?). total linux noob, been a windows user all my life. right now i'm dual-booting between win 7 and opensuse KDE. i originally alotted for a parsley 10gb only to use as a backup whenever my windows inevitably starts having problems and i have no access or means to repair it/ use as a secure place to scan my windows partition and external drives for viruses. i want to expand my opensuse partition.
so my problem is this: i have a 200gb windows partition, a 15 gb partition (U) i set up to do file swapping cross-os (which i couldnt figure out how to work, btw. formatted it in FAT32). and my 10 gb suse partition (O). i tried using the built-in KDE partition manager to shrink or completely do away with U, and expand the suse partition. the problem is my suse partition is ecapsulated by an extended partition, whatever that is, and suse has its own 1.5 gb "swap" partition. after shrinking U i tried expanding O, but it said i was already at max size. tried expanding extended, also didnt work, same goes for the 1.5 gb suse swap partition.
i read in another post that i could do the resizing via some sort of bootable disc, the only problem is that i have no access to cd or dvd blanks, and i have no usb thumb drives just 2 external hd's - 1tb and 250gb. so how can i go about expanding my opensuse partition? the easiest way i could think of is to just reformat/repartition from windows, and reinstall opensuse from my boot dvd. only problem with that is i cant SEE my suse partition from windows...
i imagine i could also just boot from the dvd and run the installer again, and use the partitioner built into the installer, but i didn't really feel comfortable with it the first time around. im know my way around a computer but all of a sudden it blindsided me with a ton of options i know nothing about, it was a little too complicated.
i installed opensuse on my acer laptop wich has win xp home sp3. but as i only have a 70gb HD i installed Opensuse on my external WD HDD 1TB i have a 30 GB partition on it so i put it there.but my problem came when i started my comp without my HDD plugged in and i couldnt load windows. so i was going to uninstall it and create a partition on my laptops HD to put Opensuse on. so after trying to get it removed and getting some info from other forums i repaired the windows MBR which allowed me to boot up windows.
but now after trying to format the partition opensuse was on, my comp can no longer see it. i can not format it with the WD formatting software or through windows computer managment. i have tried partition manager but it cannot read my whole HDD infact it doesnt see any of it, and i tried using the install disc at start up but it is unable to even install on that partition as it cannot use that partition.i also tried with the win xp disc at start up but it also cant access the HDDi am also a noob at linux systems and only installed as i wanted to see what it was like and learn about the system.
I am selling my laptop soon, so I decided to try and factory reset it. I couldn't, even though I had been able to before, because Windows couldn't reboot because openSUSE was my GRUB menu (I booted it from CD). How do I uninstall openSUSE and get it back just to loading Windows 7 at start up? I'm a total newbie at this so please explain so I can understand.

For example, if I remove Firefox, Chromium will appear in its place and vice versa. This has got to be one of the weirdest bugs I've ever seen on Ubuntu! So, how can I uninstall both web browsers?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to revert my suse to state before last updates. I forget about rule "If there is everything ok, don't touch anything, don't apply any updates". I'm very frustrated if one day I've got something working, next day it stops work. Yesterday I installed some updates and today my desktop effects (KDE 4.4.4) stop works. So my question is - where can I check what updates were installed, and is possible to check version of packages before last update.

Synaptics won't run, Update Manager tells me to try a termianl command that doesn't work, and the Software center doesn't work either. I've attached screenshots of the problems. I've tried to download and reinstall the .deb file, and it still doesn't work.
I wanted to upload one more picture, but it only allows five. The last picture was of the terminal window. Here's what it said.

Im new to ubuntu so i may not understand some answers so please bare with me. For a university thing i needed to run java so i installed sun java 6.0. I got an error half way though so i thought nothing of it and went off to do other things. Now when i try and install or uninstall anything i get this message
The package system is broken If you are using third party repositories then disable them, since they are a common source of problems. Now run the following command in a terminal: apt-get install -f
And the details read sun-java6-plugin.
i always get an error when updating my pc when am installing a program or package, and when am uninstalling something.
I tried:
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade And this is what i get

View 3 Replies View RelatedTo uninstall SUSE my approach is
1. Delete SUSE partition from WinXP
2. Recover MBR with WinXP recovery tools, using specifically "fixmbr"
HOWEVER, this always leads to complications - as in GRUB errors persist on booting and fixmbr does not seem to restore original MBR!Can someone tell me what I must do to restore my MBR, minding that the standard approach I've described doesn't seem to work?
I want to uninstall my openSuSE 11.2 from my desktop PC. I am currently running openSuSE on one of my other laptops, openSolaris on the other laptop, and I am going to run ubuntu on my desktop PC. I want to learn how to uninstall the openSuSE 11.2 without running a liveCD from another LINUX distro to do so. So my question is "How can someone uninstall openSuSE from within openSuSE itself ?"
The other reason is that my Windows XP on that HDD has had a massive failure and I want to wipe my hardrive completely clean and start anew!
My problem started with DVDrip and I mad an apt-on-cd DVD and installed from there rather than download the packages for my twop systems running karmic. I don't know what has happened but now if I try to install/upgrade/remove anything i get the following.
Code:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libevent-execflow-perl: Depends: libanyevent-perl but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I was trying out things, many different scenarios, many uninstalls, and yestarday just ran janitor ? now I don't have panels, some buttons missing, but many are still here (but unistalled earlier). I would like to make a cleanup in applications/ the button graphics are "blanks" but their name is still there, and who know what else might be conflicting in the background. any useful commands for check-and-clean-and-or-restore?

I already know that I can download Kubuntu through the Ubuntu software center, but I want to do a complete clean install with Kubuntu. So far, I have made a cd for Kubuntu, but can't get the cd to pick up when I boot my pc, so that I may install it.
How can I install Kubuntu for his computer and remove Ubuntu?
I am fairly new to Linux. I have OpenSuse Desktop 11.3. For a software package I need to install, I have to have Python 2.4 or 2.5 - it will not run with Python 2.6. I cannot find any way in Yast to install the older version of Python. So my question is this: How do I first uninstall Python 2.6 so I don't screw anything up, and then install Python 2.5? Is it as simple as using Yast for the uninstall, then finding the tarball for 2.5, unpacking it, ./configure, sudo make, sudo make install?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI installed Linux since I really enjoy the OS, alot more fun than Windows, but the problem is that I cant play any game when I'm bored. So I'm going to install Windows and then install Linux alongside again,
But to do that I need to uninstall Ubuntu, so my question is, how do I do that? I tried to just boot from the Windows CD, but after a while it says that it cant proceed caused by an error that says that my CD/DVD-Rom or my USB is failing or that is isin't connected, cant really remember. But my DVD-rom works perfectly when not running the Windows-CD.
Is this problem caused by that my HDD got EXT4 instead of NTFS?
