I dislike this version of the calculator as it no longer is resize-able, and it no longer stores saved numbers as in past versions.So I want to remove it and use a previous version, butSynaptic wants to remove ubuntu-desktop along with it.That doesn't sound right?
View 2 RepliesIs there any parameter for this? For exampleCode:gnome-terminal --maximizestarts Terminal fullscreen. I want to start calc in the screen's center so I won't need to search it on the display every time I run it. It'a annoying.
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu 10.10 default calculator, gcalctool 5.32. seems to be missing the 10 memory registers it used to have. The geaphic keys for memory functions are missing and control-M does not bring up memory pop-up either. Am I just missing something or have they been removed? I store lots of intermediate results in the registers for use later in calculations.

It's not a serious problem at all, I can live with it, but if there was a way to remove this yellow square from my pretty desktop I would like to hear about it .
I tried clicking and right clicking on it; it does nothing except I can access a tiny menu with - apparently - enlarge, refresh and configure buttons. Only the configure button (a spanner) does something, it opens a "configure" box which does not have a "remove" or "delete" option. Rebooting does not remove it.

So, my question is, is there any way I can remove the ubuntu desktop? Also, a completely unrelated question, when I start my computer, it goes to a screen where I choose which OS to boot up. The thing is, I originally installed 9.10, and upgraded it to 10.04 then 10.10. So, that screen has all three on there in the format code...
is there anyway I can get rid of the other 2?

Actually I don't intend to repair it, instead I would like to remove it and free up the space used by the ubuntu partition on my hard drive.i want to save some of my files kept in the linux filesystem, but I can live without them if that is not possible.
Is there a way to get it to really remove packages and delete all the files that the installation created?

How do I remove a partition through 9.04? I already have Gparted installed through apt-get. Removing is not a problem, the problem is how the heck do I know which partition I am using? I prevously installed 9.10 before and it went back, so i reinstalled 8.10 through my Linux Guru? friend help (see the question mark? you see why i mean by that). then I, myself, upgraded it to 9.04. When I was reinstalling 8.10, I see two partition on my hard drive, first is NTFS (window xp) and the ext4 partition (but the Live CD see it as ext3 partition). I attempted to delete the ext4 partition, it just did nothing which make me think it did something.
So I refreshed the screen and found out the ext4 is still there. So I ask my Linux Guru friend to help out. He went through custom setting to remove partition and he think he did it. and display a Welcome screen to set up my account. But my guts telling me that he didn't remove the ext4 partition. While he looking away, i went back to the partitioner screen and found out it still there. So i was like screw it and went ahead to create a new partition for 8.10 (but it shorten my Window partition which i need that for important things.) After installation, everything went ok. So i went back to my place and "sudo apt-get gparted" to bring up the GUI Parted. that where strange thing puzzled me. the Ubuntu 8.10 i am using show 50 GB filesystem, but Gparted show 60 and 70 GB ext 3 partition. I was confused how Gparted think i have more GB than what i set for. So I went to the root directory of my 8.10 then right click>proprieties to get the GB info.
Then it displayed that I have around 65GB filesystem. I was puzzled why it showing that. So i thought possible if i mount the ext4 partition and able to get the right info. But as usual, it can't mount the ext4 partition as error said but my Gparted show they both a ext3 Partition, not one of them displayed ext4. Both of them are ext3. So I remember that I give my ext4 partition more GB than my 8.10 and found one partition. But when I checked the 70GB partition properties. It said it is mounted but the 60GB one is not mounted. I was puzzled why my ext4 is mounted but my ext3 is not mounted. Again I am not using LiveCD this time. I am using my 8.10 partition and on the desktop with Gparted open. So I just decided to gamble it and tell gparted to remove the "ext3" 70GB. But error show up and said something that it cant be removed because it is mounted.
I was sitting there and wondering "how the heck did my 8.10 is using my ext4 filesystem if it can't mount it on the desktop but it can mount fine through Gparted?" I am trying to understand what is happening. The reason why i want to remove the ext4 partition, so i can give back that partition to my NTFS partition, giving back the space that my window need for my important things.Now I remember why it couldn't remove the partition. I thought it was a mount issue but I remember something. The ext4 partition is under Sda4 and sda5 while my current partition is using sda6 and sda7. So when i attempt to remove Sda4 and sda5, it said it can't remove because of the level of sda.
This is what I get: think its partially removed or something.

server@A-srvr:~$ sudo apt-get remove --purge postgresql

I've accidentally installed ubuntu 9.1 twice in parallel boot with Win XP. I think somehow I corrupted the first installation of Ubuntu and thought I could simply re-install Ubuntu over the top of the first install but instead it installed another Ubuntu system. How can I completely remove one of the ubuntu 9.1 installations leaving just Win XP and one install of Ubuntu.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have ubuntu 10.04 installed on my laptop. While in company i need to setup proxy to use apt. At home, of course, proxy is not needed. I have used System->preferences->network proxy to change proxy to direct internet access. however, it seems apt still tries to use the proxy i set before in company. I checked /etc/apt/apt.conf, /etc/environment, there is no proxy settings at all ... so i dont know how to remove proxy settings for apt.
One thing i notice is that http_proxy, ftp_proxy, https_proxy is always pointing to the proxy i set before. If i unset e.g. http_proxy, and then try to use apt, e.g.
sudo apt-get install sshfs I will get following errors:
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
If i open another command window, http_proxy is still there and pointing to original proxy ....
10.04 installation (that worked fine for weeks) does not boot anymore (soft lockup). After some googling I suspect that the problem is the installation of the hostap_utils-package that I performed the last time I could use it. I am on a Thinkpad X30 without CD-drive and don't have my docking station at hand, but fortunately I still have a working 8.04 installation on it and I from that I can mount the 10.04 partition.
So my question is: Is there a good way to remove a package from a 10.04 installation when you cannot boot it directly but have access to the filesystem? Alternatively could someone please post all the files that belong to the hostap_utils package so I can just delete them manually (even though that probably is not a clean way to remove a package..).
I'm trying to slim down the ubuntu liveCD using the instructions from the following link: [URL]
My objective is to trim ubuntu down and leave nothing but the ability to do remote desktop and use network-manager to manage the network. Everything else is not important... so no clipboard no sound no 3D no USB... nothing except network and rdesktop with the regular gnome desktop with a panel for the network-manager applet
I managed to trim the final ISO down to 290MB but I need it around 100MB and if possible 50MB.
I do want to keep the ability to do "sudo apt-get install openoffice" in the future though....
