Ubuntu :: Can't Find Application Manager To Stop ?
Jun 27, 2010
Using Jaunty and trying to install a 56k modem driver with gdebi but when I go to install it tells me I have to close all other application managers. I cannot find any other application managers running in system monitor. Synaptic and update manager are both off at this point.
I'm in a dual boot with xp. Something tells me I should have bought that USR modem with the native Linux driver rather than the cheaper Aopen unit
I will be upgrading to Lucid in the coming weeks but would like to resolve this beforehand if possible.

I am getting no packages listed in Gnome application manager gpk-application 2.27.2. I have tried 'yum clean all' and get the following error messages.

I used System->Preferences->Startup Applications to start up a shell script (application) when I login. How do I stop this application when I log out?
I've tried creating a ~/.logout file, where I determine the PID of the application I want killed (so that I can kill it), however it would appear that this file is never referenced when I log out of my Gnome session.
P.S. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 (or whatever the last release of 2010 is designated as).

It seems that the two DEs read from the same damned autostart file as no matter how much I edit the start up menus for each the applications I want to autostart in Gnome but not in Xfce4 just ignore me and bloody well autostart in Xfce4 anyway.

I recently set up an Ubuntu computer for a friend who is new to Ubuntu and who is complaining that very often, Ubuntu's Update Manager pops up and asks for password to install updates. How could we make the Update Manager install updates quietly in the background without interrupting and asking for password? Maybe this should even be set as default in forthcoming versions of Ubuntu!

xubuntu 8.04 on inspiron 8100
Applications>Settings>Settings Manager>Autostarted apps Update notifier is unchecked
There does not seem to be any Preferences in Update Manager to tweak either.
Is there some file I can edit with nano? Or maybe there's a script I can rename to not run it at startup?

When I start Ubuntu, file explorer windows look like they should.
Then, after about 15 seconds, the windows manager automatically switches to a greyer, bulkier design
How can I stop this behaviour?
I am using Ubuntu 11.04 as a guest OS in Virtual Box 4.0.12

In order to keep my system clean, normally if Update Manager wants to update a package I don't want or never use, I use this as a trigger to first go to Synaptic Package Manager and de-install the unwanted package, then refresh Update Manager and continue with the wanted updates.
However when it wants to install something completely new that clearly I don't want or need, how do I tell Update Manager to permanently remove it from the update list?

How can I stop update manager from trying to update my distro version?

I am running openVPN to secure my wireless network traffic right now. Everything works great except every once in a while, my Internet connection will drop out for about a minute or so. Ubuntu very nicely tries to reconnect, and most of the time successfully does. The issue is that if I don't catch it every time this happens, I am now running without my VPN.
I want to know if there is any way to DISABLE auto-reconnect to a wireless network if connection is lost or signal fades.
Im running ubuntu 10.10 by the way

I would like to stop network manager from starting up on boot. I have tried moving
Code:
/etc/init.d/network-manager stop
to rc.local and it did nothing but boot me into the CLI
I have also tried to put
Code:
sudo service network-manager stop and that did nothing also.
After I get network manager to stop on boot up. How do I make it so it will not auto connect to networks? My computer keeps on joining a different network on boot up. And I don't like this as some times I go to my banks website and I am on there network with out realizing it (because of the auto connect) Is there a way to stop this also?

When I turn on my computer I am greeted by an unending stream of "Starting File Managers" appearing in the programs list. This cannot be stopped, though none of the file managers actually open. They just sit there filling up my programs bar and wasting my cpu slowing down computer. It also means I cant upon my own folders, or see what programs I have open.If I run terminal, type xkill and click on one of the buttons in the programs list, that kills them all, and I can see my programs again for a bit, until it fills up again. The panel disappears and appears again, with all the spawning messages gone and any other programs I have open remain there. Its just the randomly spawned "Starting File Managers" that don't come back.
My CPU fluctuates. Its around 60% to 90% load, when it should be idle, but is instead opening all these windows.When I view the processes the most CPU intensive (when I sort) is Gnome System Monitor at 6% and then Gnome panel at 5%,gconfd-2 is as around 2%, compiz.real, dbus-deamon hover around 1%. And everything else is generally at 0%.So somewhere, a hidden process is using about 70% of my CPU load. Which isn't shown in system-monitor. Maybe because its an admin process and I can only see simple user processes. I dunno.There is something else though. I have a process with no name appearing, its blank. And it keeps disappearing and re-appearing. So you can hardly select it hard enough to kill it. I managed to kill it once and it said error, process (large number, 10,000 or 100,000) does not exist. So can't be killed.When I do an xkill the console writes:
Code:
anthony@Anthony-Acer:~$ xkill
Select the window whose client you wish to kill with button 1....
[code]....

sudo apt-get install torcs
While downloading was in process I accidentally closed the terminal clicking X on the windows. I cant open synaptic Package manger when I try to open it says:
"This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) is already running. Please close that application first".
How can I close that apt-get application?

Good evening. I just loaded the latest release on my box and noticed after configuring my vid card, that Ubuntu is slow running. When I click something as simple as Ubuntu Software Manager it takes almost 30s-1m for the application to come up. If this was one of my old boxes I could understand this but this is a fairly new box.
Below are my system specs.
MB - SiS 661FX w/latest bios
CPU - P4 3.2Ghz w/1G L2 cache
Memory - 2GB unbuffered
Hard Drive - SATA Seagate 1.5TB 7200RPM drive
CDROM/DVD - Lighton SATA
Videocard - ATI HD 3600 (yes I've installed the drivers according to the Maverick Wiki)

I try to understand the way the network-admin tool retrieve and set information about the network connections, and after reviewing thee code, I still dont undertsnad how it does it. I thought that it should use maybe linux commands such as iwconfig or ifconfig or by using ioctl for get/set the parameters of the wireless, but I did not find such things in the code. It also does not use AT commands for modem devices parameters.
I see that it uses liboobs files, but after veiwing the code, I still don't understand how it works.
These question comes since I work on application which connects to wireless devices (possibly several wifi and modems devices can be connected ), and I try to think how to set/get the network parameters, I thought that a good start will be to look at how network-admin works.

On SuSE 10.0 I used to have an app simply called, "Dictionary" and it was placed in the Office > Database section of the kicker menu. I can't seem to find that app anywhere for OpenSUSE 11.2. Did they stop supporting/making it?

I installed Startup Manager but the appearance and security tabs are missing. I really want to be able to change the resolution of the splash screen cause it looks all pixelated and I want to have the splash screen that 9.10 had.
I tried reinstalling and restarting but the issue remains. I know its somewhat functional because I am able to change the seconds that grub takes but when I try to change the resolution of the purple ubuntu startup screen it looks like it tries to change it but it fails.

I just updated to 11.04 today after deciding I couldn't just read about Unity anymore and wanted to experience it for myself. I'll save my thoughts for the Experiences forum; suffice to say that so far I think that it's organized and, for the most part, intuitive.
That said, I am having a problem finding an application that I know is installed. I use Crossover Games to run Steam, and though Steam is running just fine (just played a quick game of TF2 to make sure) I cannot for the life of me find Crossover. In 10.10, it was under Applications > Games. In Unity, it will not show up no matter how I search for it (Steam, however, does with no issues). I have searched for Crossover, codeweaver, cross, code, games, etc, to no avail.
Any tips or comments on how I may find this application? It shows up in my Installed Software in Software Center even!

Is there any way to find out the space consumed by a particular application??
AFAIK,applications installation are distributed across various directories in Linux(man pages,executable files,etc..)and the very close i can get is to run 'whereis' command which gives me all the paths where the application's files are stored.
Do i have to manually go to each and every such paths and check their sizes??

I am a beginner Ubuntu 9.10 user. I downloaded and installed the latest version of the sun VirtualBox. My problem is I cannot find where it is installed and that's why I could not run it. Generally, when I install a program the shortcut appears in the menu "Applications->ClassOfInstalledFile". But Virtual Box did not appear. How to find the icon, or simply how to run this application and have a shortcut of it on the "Applications" menu?

Just got my 11.04 and tried to use some settings in Compiz. I`ve made these steps: Install the CompizConfig Settings Manager (ccsm) application from the Software Center. If you need assistance with installing the application, consult the software installation help, or review the Ubuntu Software Center Manual.
After you have installed the program, click the power icon at the very right of the panel and select System Settings. In the Personal section, click CompizConfig Settings Manager. In the Desktop section of the CompizConfig Settings Manager, click Ubuntu Unity Plugin, and select the Experimental tab.
I`ve clicked on the left side there was something like "enable plugin" or sort of. And my launcher, and the pane on the top dissapeared! I got nothing. Just the screen. Nothing is workin. What the f>..?
