Thats it for now. I've ran commands through the terminal to get the cairo dock and that worked fine along with a few other apps.
I noticed that some applications are still in the startup applications list even after i have removed these applications.Would there be any app files left over anywhere / is there a command i can run to clean up the filesystem.Or is it just a case of removing them from the startup app list?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI feel shy asking this question but, 90% of the applications I install in Ubuntu (last release), do not show up later on in the applications menu, so I cant run them. I know it seems silly, but I can't find the way to handle this inconvenience. Is there a place (like Start> All programs in Windows), were I could find and run all the programs I install?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm setting up a large number of virtual machines, each with a basic set of about 30 applications. Obviously, I don't want to do everything manually so I'm looking for ways to automate this process. Multiple distributions (Ubuntu, Red Hat Ent., FreeBSD, CentOS, etc.) will be used, meaning I will have a few Ubuntu installs with the basic set of 30 applications, and multiple Red Hat installs with the same set, etc. So, I'm looking for advice on automating as much of this as I can, even if it means a new form of automation for each distro.

Is there a way to specifically run certain programs right in ram when they load up? On average I usually have 2Gig ram free (out of 4gig total). For example, hulu desktop, usage hog, I thought that forcing it to load into ram whenever hulu desktop is started may improve performance of the app. So, is there a program in ubuntu that can specifically control what programs can load directly load into ram when started?

I started using Ubuntu a few days ago due to a classmates recommendation, and I simply cannot get this program I need for class to install. Or if it does, I don't know how to make it work.
I've got to install VMWare Server 2.0 for my class so we can make virtual computers and what not. But, no matter what I do I can't get it to install. Whenever I try to install it like I was told on various websites (here's one for examples sake [URL], I do this: sudo ./vmware-install.pl and get this: Can't install perl script "./vmware-install.pl" : No such file or directory
I've tried putting in stuff like home/computername/Desktop/vmware-install.pl, but I still get the same problem. I've racked my brain and my browser trying to figure this out, but I've had no luck.
I am trying to add a program that will allow me to play wmv files on my computer.

E:_cache->open()failed,please report. When I try to run this in the terminal I get a message saying I need to be a superuser.

i have a server with 2.5T of hdd space, ram to boot, and a decent cpu. I also have a desktop made about 8 years ago... with a 20G HDD.
The server runs, ubuntu server, the desktop runs, ubuntu desktop, (how normal...). Anyway, i don't want to clog my desktop up with lots of programs, if they can be run from the server to save space.
Programs i had in mind:
OpenOffice -> Full suit
Audacity
GIMP
I have installed a couple of programs - nagios and zoneminder, but am unable to see them listed in the 'Applications' drop down.
anybody else seen this or have a resolution?
