OpenSUSE :: Removing Icons From Applications Section
Jun 5, 2011
I am currently running openSUSE 11.4 w/ Gnome 3.I wound up installing Adobe Digital Editions using Wine.Got everything working, except I ended up installing it twice (once as root and once as myself.Currently in my "Applications" I show 2 Adobe Digital Editions.I have ran wine uninstaller as both myself and as root, and the icons are still in the Applications window.I am not sure who is to blame and what I should try to access to rm these icons.

You maybe know that VirtualBox has an "immutable" feature for HDD images. I.e. setup the system, if the stuff is in place, you can set the image to IMMUTABLE to prevent any changes to the image. Differences are written to a separated image. So on the next boot you'll see that all the (unintended) changes are gone and the "old" system is up & running again. I run an old SuSE 10.3 on a write-protected SD-IDE-Adapter. Changing and playing with RPMs is a mess due to around 50 changes I had to do to make that work. Is there any option to mount an SD-card as RO and having all the changes written to e.g. /dev/sda3? To make it clear: I thought about something like a RAID-X system, but could not find any description on how to setup a raidtab.

For some reason I have two IDLE icons in my application programming section:
IDLE
IDLE(using python-2.6)
Both are the exact same versions, and I'm not sure if I need both. I understand that ubuntu runs on 2.6 so I'm a bit hesitant to just delete one without checking here first.

I uninstalled Google Earth and the "grey" icon remains no matter what I do. Also I had wine to run an MS application I uninstalled wine, before uninstalling the application. The icons remain, do I need to re-install wine again, uninstall the application then uninstall wine? The file that held the application I deleted, first because I had a brain fade.

I hate desktop icons and shortcuts. I don't ever need them, and they look wasteful and cluttery sitting there unused. Since everything is accessible from the menus, I would like to not have any icons on my desktop in Fedora 11. I have been playing around with the settings for days and can't find a way to make them disappear.

I'm trying to configure Ubuntu 10.04 for my personal tastes. I have already done a lot but I need help in continuing my endeavour., I come here, having Googled my query and receiving no help, to ask you lot.The icons on the main menu (the one that only has the black Ubuntu logo; not the default three menu one) looks simply vulgar so I want to remove them. I was able to do so in the past but now it eludes me. I think having the icons for everything looks unprofessional and cluttered. Is there a way I can remove those nasty icons from the menu?So it is clear, I'm talking about the Swiss Army knife, cards, and etc on the main menu and all the other icons on the sub-menus.

i have 2 boxes w/ squeeze/gnome. my home one has bigger HDDs (to me anyway), so i can install/trick out for days. my work box however, has a single paltry 12Gb HDD (and no, i can't afford to run out and buy a bigger one).my question is this: can i slim down my gnome install my removing what are to me at work, non-essential apps (evolution, totem, etc)? if you try to remove any of these in synaptic, it says it will ALSO remove gnome altogether.

I've installed Debian GNU/Linux, from a Testing NetInstall ISO, then after setting up the system, I've installed the KDE desktop.Well, I like to have a system with the applications I want, not the applications that the system wants for me, I mean, that's the point of GNU/Linux, isn't?
Thus I want to remove some applications from KDE, let's say KWrite. I know it's a good text editor, but Kate is way better, at least for me, and... I should have the authority to decide what applications I want on my system, I think you got the point.So I installed Kate, and when I try to remove KWrite, APT asks me to remove nothing but this applications: kde-baseapps kde-plasma-desktop.
I don't understand why do KDE forces me to get rid of the entire desktop... when I'm just trying to remove a single application, and a replacement it's already installed.

I run Gnome and i want KDE applications to use the same icon set as i have for my Gnome desktop. I have searched the file system and found a folder called "default.kde4" in /usr/share/icons. I assume this is where KDE applications pull their icons from. Firstly, this folder is a linked folder. How do i find out where the original folder that it is linked to is? Secondly, i am assuming, that the KDE icons won't be a name for name match for the icons i am using in Gnome (Faenza just in case anyone is curious). What is the easiest way to get the KDE icons changed for the one's i am using in Gnome?

Fedora 15 - 32 bit
Is there a way to change the applications icons to a list?
If not, how about reducing the size of the icons for the applications window and for the panel on the left?

I just did a clean install of fedora 14 on a dell precision 690 (multiprocessor system, with buckets of memory--16gb). It is old, but a great machine. It is dual boot to windows, but that is probably irrelevant. Note, the reason I did the clean install was the exact problem I report here had cropped up on this system running fedora 14, but I was having kluged together the system after grub issues, so i blamed it on something unrelated and hoped a clean install would solve this.
After installing the system, running updates, etc., I installed open office, and virtualbox. I then set up two virtual machines in virtual box, both Win XP, and added my favorite windows applications. that may not be relevant, but that is the history. I added a couple pieces of high end software too, which required some odd libraries--libgdal and libexpat.
After a couple of of days of using the machine, I tried to run open office (after having used it several times, and logged off several times) and it wouldn't execute. I then realized that all of my desktop icons had disappeared. I then experimented and realized several other applications wouldn't execute from the gnome applications menu. however, I could execute anything I wanted from the command line in a terminal.
I read a suggestion in the forums to create a new user. painful process, but that did indeed solve the problem (temporarily). But then the problem repeated with the new user. So now, this really sucks and I'm cursing fedora. After consulting my linux geek brother, I tried something else--I loaded kde, and tried that. (btw--why doesn't ctl-alt-backspace allow you to switch windows managers in this linux?)
Anyway, kde works fine with everything except open office--it still won't run for some reason, even in kde.
Strangely, my virtual machines worked throughout all this. that is, I could execute virtualbox from gnome, everything runs fine.

When you create a desktop icon, the properties of the icon include a command to invoke the application. That command can be given percent parameters like %U. Where are the meanings of those parameters documented?

I was testing with "Compiz rotate cube" in my Ubuntu machine. Changed some settings by disabling "desktop cube". Something had changed in the mean time.

I few weeks ago DockbarX upgraded tyo 0.43, and since then it hasn't worked at all; not just no window previews, but no icons for open applications - absolutely nothing. This also applies when there's an applet in a panel, not just AWN. I've been through the forums, tried going into Compiz Settings and unchecking, then rechecking KDE Compatibility etc, but it does nothing. Edot - installed awn-applet-dockbarx and gnome-dockbarx-applet from Synaptic but it doesn't help.

I need some advice about virtual hosting on opensuse 11.1. I have about 6 domains running on the server. I use Webmin and Virtualmin on my server. Everything is working ok but I feel that I do something wrong
1. Lets say I have [URL] web and mail server running. When I write [URL] on my browser, the site is coming up but when I also write [URL] and I see the same page. There is no record on apache for [URL], there is only DNS record for the mail server. What do I do wrong?
2. Apache conf. is as below; do you think is it better to write "any" on address section instead of ip? What is the difference?
Address 88.11.11.111 (ip isn't true) Port 80Server Name domainname.com Document Root /srv/www/domainname.com/public_html
3. IP Address is the same for all domains. How I can configure that; when I write the ip address on my browser, only the specific site which I choose will be opened? Whichever I created last, that site is opening right now.

I have a ati firepro v3700, and I installed the driver I think. I did the fglrx install, and it said it worked. I believe it because prior to doing that my video was off and very laggy, but now it's fine.
My problems are these: yast won't identify my card in the hardware section, and it won't let me turn on 3d effects. I know most people wouldn't care, and I wouldn't, except I use linux to do FEA and CFD research. I used ubuntu before no problem, but some of the programs I used weren't supported.

I know a bunch of commands and I am comfortable using the terminal, I even set a powerpc server but I can't figure out how to remove epiphany on this new computer I'm setting up. I didn't install anything with tasksel. I installed gnome and xorg afterwards... I load it up and 'startx' just fine. then I check around for the programs that were installed. I lik'em gimp, lot's of utilities. gedit. anyway I find epiphany, which I have already established that I dislike, I immediately go to the root terminal (another nice program that comes with gnome) and type apt-get remove epiphany-browser-data the output says it will be deleting gnome... however I have researched and found these are simpy meta packages that don't really matter.... however under the section that states all the packages that will be removed by autoremove there is a huge list... I doubt these packages are safe to remove. how to remove epiphany without removing a huge amount of probably needed software
