I just want a simple email notifier. I have started to use Ubuntu 10.10 and seem to have downloaded Gmailwatcher - it shows in Applications/Internet/Gmailwatcher. But it doesn't show as installed software in the Installed Software Centre. So, I cant uninstall it. I can't configure it? If I try to open Gmailwatcher I receive a popup asking me to open it from an icon above - but there's no icon there, I just want a simple email notifier - preferably one which I can add an audio alert.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo installing a programm is a problem. I like to install Aqualung. "/.configure" works. But "make" seems to be not installed.

SO I installed Ubuntu 9.10 nad then windows XP. Now I can only get into windows. I tried to re-install Grub on the linux partition but I get an error: Cannot Read `/grub/core.img`correctly
I followed the tutorial on this forum. I booted to my Ubunut CD, ran termainal, sudo fdisk -l, mounted my Linux partition and ran sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/sda1 /dev/sda1. Which gave the error above.
How else can I fix this. Bearing in mind I cannot log into my Ubuntu system.
I am running the xfce desktop on a new ubuntu 9.10 installation.I used the Synaptics Package Manager to install several applications, including R, the statistics programming language. After the installation, it took me quite a while to find where the package manager put the executable, but I found it.The problem is, I can't figure out how to get it to execute. I tried double clicking on it and I tried right clicking on it and selecting "Execute" from the menu that pops up.
How do I get an executable to execute? Also, is there an easy way to track down where the executables get put after I use the Synaptics Package Manager?It would be handy if I could put links to them in some central location.
Will you post your themes here and where and how you installed them?
View 1 Replies View Relatedlong time reader, first time poster i appear to have both grubs installed under /boot/grub i have both a menu.lst and a grub.cfg im booting fine, can update-grub fine, my only issue is that i can't remove old kernels and update the correct grub my menu.lst doesn't show the old kernel so i can only assume im booting with grub2 but can only update-grub for grub(1)
it's a minor issue now but i'm worried it will have wider consequences in time

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've just been playing with the whereis command. For a program installed with synaptic package manager or comes preinstalled, whereis finds the path to the program. These programs in applications menu or startup applications don't need directory information, somehow linux must have them in some kind of a directory or something. For a program extracted from a .bz file, linux has no idea where the program is and I must give directory information. So how does linux find programs that are installed normally? It can't just search through files, that would seem to be slow. Is there a table or directory where program location is stored?
