View 1 RepliesI am running a vps with nginx as webserver. For some odd reason (I don't know if it was installed already) apache2 was running before nginx could start. After stopping apache2 nginx starts fine again. But, I want to completely remove apche2, but:

Apache2 is there and I can start it normally with /etc/init.d/apache2 start but I want it removed, how do I do that?
I have one issue of Synaptic Package management program. It might be related to apt-get also.
Whenever I select packages that I do not need at all, Synaptic shows "To be removed" package list. For example, I was going to completely remove a library file: libecal1.2-7. It has many dependencies: gnome-applet, gnome-panel, etc.
Does Synaptic actually removes other packages that the libecal1.2-7 depends on?
I'd like clean up irrelevant programs came with default installation. But, "To be removed:" packages really hold me back.
Unless I am mistaken, the 'hypermail' package has recently been removed from unstable.
I don't know if this is permanent or if it is just in preparation for the upcoming release.
In case it might be permanent, I thought that I'd download the deb from stable and stick it in a new directory '/var/local/apt'. Then I ran 'dpkg-scanpackages' in that directory and sent the output to '/var/local/apt/Packages'.
Unfortunately, when I run 'aptitude', 'hypermail' still shows up under the 'obsolete' section, even after I do a package update.
Have I done anything obviously wrong?
how do i find which package offers gl.h?

Despite using Linux for a while I'm only just getting a taste of managing my very own system so please be gentle!
After trying a `blind' sudo apt-get install acroread which was unsuccessful I tried installing using the synaptic package manager, and couldn't find it in there either.
According to the software sources info I have both Universe and Multiverse switched on. I'm fairly sure one of my attempted permutations of `acro', `reader' and `acrobat' etc should have hit upon something so I assume there must be something more fundamental wrong!
Am using a newly installed Lucid Lynx 10.04
Linux noob, and I'm trying to install a little program on my rootserver, but it requires libboost and libboost-dev. Unfortunately ubuntu can't seem to find the packages and google does not help either. The only info I found was telling me to install "gnuradio" or something, which takes up 138 mb. So, how can I install these packages now?also: I cancelled the installation of gnuradio via "CTRL+C", will this cause any problems? Are there some trash files left on the system now?

I would have thought that removing a given kernel package would trigger the removal of the older kernel headers. Can someone confirm that is, or is not, the behavior? I ask this because it seemed to me that the older kernel header packages were indeed removed when I removed some older kernel packages.
For example, the linux kernels I have installed are:

Also, the linux-headers packages I have installed are:

So, when I get around to removing the linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64 package like this:
Code:
I would expect apt-get to automatically also remove linux-headers-2.6.25-2-amd64 and linux-headers-2.6.25-2-common. Is that what will happen, or do I need to explicitly state all three packages on the apt-get remove command?
I've been reading up on ssh and I don't want anyone to connect to my computer. I am not interested in remote connectivity at all. Should I uninstall ssh? I ran Code: apt-get remove ssh and debian returned "package ssh is not installed. 0 packages removed."
I also looked online and found out about /etc/ssh/ssh_conf but all of the lines on my computer were #'d out. I also added "PermitRootLogin no" at the end. Am I safe from ssh attacks if I don't have ssh? Might be a stupid question but I don't want to fall victim. edit: it seems as though I -do- have openssh-client and openssh-server installed. Should I just leave my ssh config with PermitRootLogin no or apt-get remove openssh-client openssh-server.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have never ever have a single installation issue with ubuntu (been using it for years and years, and before I used other distributions for years).Now I want to install Ubuntu 10.4 alongside Windows 7. I don't have any other demands or wishes, just for it to install. Unfortunately, there is no way to do that. The installer is always stopping at a "no root file system is defined". When I go to gparted in the liveCD version it shows my entire drive as free, unallocated space (although there are at least 3 partitions, one of them with working windows 7).The LiveCD sees the partitions all righ, I can access the windows partitions without any problem. Fdisk -l also shows my partitions properly. Gparted, however, for some reason doesn't recognize them.
I have only two options:
1) use whole drive (which would erase my windows 7 - no, no)
2) set up manually (which says all my 250gb drive is unallocated space). No other choices.
And generally the installer of ubuntu says "This computer has no operating systems on it."
Installing through wubi doesn't work as well. After restart it wants to install but reaches sth like 257% on "getting time from server" and says there's no root filesystem. So it's all basically about ubuntu not wanting to acknowledge the simple fact that there are already partitions and OS's on my drive...

I only use Update Manager manager to see if there are any updates and then use sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get-upgrade and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to actually examine the updates as it shows if anything will be removed without anything to replace it.
And I know to never do a partial upgrade.
Update Manager displays "Partial Upgrade" with the files listed above grayed out.
I did use sudo apt-get-upgrade to install a few packages earlier that were safe to install and now -

I've had my laptop dual-boot with Ubuntu 10.03 and W7 for some time, and all has (mostly) been OK. Unfortunately, my windows installation was an upgrade from Vista, and always a bit of a pig's 4rse, so I deleted the partition and reinstalled it cleanly.
But now I no longer get a list of boot options, so I can't boot into Ubuntu.
Its partition is still there OK... I can get the dual-boot back...
I removed the linux-image-2.6.32-31-generic package (and all the older ones) from my 64-bit Lucid Lynx machine. When I boot up, the grub menu only has memtest as a choice.
I am able to boot the machine with the LiveCD and can mount the drive. (look like it's read only mode right now.) But now, how do I reinstall the linux-image-2.6.32-31-generic package(or any package for that matter) onto the disk partition that represents the machine?
I reclaimed the hard drive space on my hard drive entirely for Windows 7 with the intention of installing another hard drive solely for Ubuntu.
