I am having trouble installing mathematica 8 and found this workaround: [URl]..The workaround involves uninstalling Mathematica then installing in a specific way. However I seem to be unable to properly uninstall the program because even after I delete the directories /usr/local/Wolfram and /.Mathematica, after I reinstall, Mathematica is already activated. The activation data must be located somewhere that I haven't removed.
Is there a general way to remove all trace of a program installed by a .sh file? Alternatively, are there any common locations I could look for this data?

I have installed some applications thru 'apt-get' command. I found that it is much different with Windows where normally the installed program is in one folder while in Ubuntu, the program will located in many folders. I wonder whether I can get the full source code for the application I have installed thru 'apt-get'? Where to locate them?
This is because I have faced problem in using the Kphone installed thru 'apt-get' and installed thru compilation of source code from tarball. I get quite bad voice quality when I called using Kphone SI 'sudo make install' from the source tarball downloaded from sourceforge.net. However, good voice quality is obtained when I used Kphone installed thru 'sudo apt-get' command. Is that the source code different or is that because of Kphone is differs with Kphone SI?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI am debugging a project and I noticed the .so files from my installed version of this project are being used when I run the main executable. However what I want is that the modified and compiled libraries (.so files) are being used. This is for testing the software. So I don't want to install these. I tried adding the directory with the .so files in /etc/ld.so.conf and doing ldconfig. However that did not seem to work. How can I let the main executable use the modified .so? I also want to debug this using gdb, so if someone knows what I should do to get those modified .so files being used for execution.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn openSuse.. the practical way to backup with a GUI application.
a) Scenario: GRUB crashes or is modified/deleted.. (Obviously not due to ME... I'm and expert even though I just installed OpenSuse 11.4.... about 10 seconds ago..... if you know what I mean).
b) Scenario: Installed/Updated SOMETHING and everything went weird.. (can't boot, nothing runs, KDE/GNOME is dead, end up at a command prompt but I don't know any commands!!!)
Now I had an excellent OpenSuse running..... WHAT do I download to backup, WHAT do I back up so I can do a FRESH Operating System install (SuSe) and restore the rest (or most of it).
SO:
1: What's a good GUI tool?
2: What Folders and Files/Directories do you backup to get back running ASAP?
