Currently I dual boot windows XP and ubuntu 9.10. However, I am quite happy about my Ubuntu installation and I am starting to think about my windows xp install as a waste of hard drive space.I wonder what's the best way to remove the windows xp install.I have 3 partitions, windows being the first, ubuntu being the second and the third being ubuntu's swap.I am not familiarized with the way the grub bootloader works so I am worried about breaking it if I just remove the first (winxp) partition via gparted and expand the second (ubuntu 9.10) fill the empty space.

We are using Ubuntu 10.04LTS server on Vmware Vsphere estate. We are using LVM and have / and /var on separate partitions.
We have been experiencing an odd issue with sda1 always being fsck'd after every reboot. We seem to have traced this to the start/kill scripts in rc0.d and rc6.d. It appears that the reason the disk is not being unmounted is because some of the scripts are never being run because they are prefixed with S. We renamed and reordered the scripts to reflect what we thought should be the correct order - i.e. not halting the system before unmounting disks. System reboots cleanly now.
Before list of rc0.d and rc6.d respectively:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2010-11-18 15:06 K01apache2 -> ../init.d/apache2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2010-11-16 17:03 K01zabbix-agent -> ../init.d/zabbix-agent
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2010-11-30 08:16 K03vmware-tools -> ../init.d/vmware-tools
[Code]....
basically are we expected to do these changes as part of building new servers for production use? Quite happy to do this but just surprised that this is the default.
I recently bought a refurbished HP Compaq NC6000 which had a new installation of Win XP put on it but takes about 5 attempts to boot up as it just sat at the load screen and freezes. So I decided to install Ubuntu 9.10 as a Dual boot with the view to getting rid of XP once I had Ubuntu up and running, which I have now. So cant understand why XP wouldn't work lol. Now I would like to fully get rid of XP and just have Ubuntu as the only OS on the laptop. Currently as it is Dual Boot I have my 80gig Hard drive partitioned with both OS�s on it.
Could someone point me in the right direction of how to get rid of XP cleanly so I just have Ubuntu left on my machine. I don�t really want to re-install Ubuntu as I have spent the last week getting it set up, so would it be possible just to get rid of XP? Also would getting rid of XP mess up the Grub Boot loader menu?
Instead of moving to trash, how can i make the delete button delete? Delete is already enabled on the right click menu.

The problem is it does not delete files that has been removed from my local system?
I run the command as root on the local system.
(I realize I should properly not ssh into the server as the server's root but I'm having trouble with the permissions and I want to make sure everything else works before messing around with it)
Why is there no Delete when I right click like there is with Windows in ubuntu? Pretty much everything else is there like new folder and so on Is there some way to add it? Also why when i delete something does it not ask me if I am sure that i want to delete that file?

I recently installed an application called DeaDBeeF. I added the GPG key, as well as the repo in my sources.list file. I've decided to stick with Audacious, so I did an "apt-get autoremove deadbeef" to remove it and all of its dependencies. I also edited my sources.list file and removed the line pointing to the repo in which I got it from.
Now my question is, how should I remove the GPG key, if I don't use the repo or application anymore? I don't want an unused GPG key sitting on my Debian if I'm not using the repo anymore.
I've tried reading the man pages but I can't seem to get it. I've tried the following command but it doesn't seem to work.
sudo apt-key del http://hadret.rootnode.net/debian/duckbill.key

What I am having trouble with is that I cannot delete the user through the terminal using the command userdel but to no avail, it states that the user mysql is still logged in even though I have restarted the computer and logged in only to my root account.Whenever I try to log into mysql account it gives me multiple error messages something about the ICE authority and nautilus and when i get past these and onto the home screen, there is nothing, the wallpaper is there but there are no icons and no tool-bars, I cannot shutdown or get to a terminal while on the dysfunctional user. I cannot delete the user because it states I am logged in even though I am not.
