I have a 1 tera byte disk with windows xp nad a 120gb disk with ubuntu 7.10. I used install CD to install 10.04.
Now two versions of ubuntu are running and is creating confusion. How to remove the old version?
I need to test my code under different versions of GCC. At leat GCC 3.4 in addition to the default. I was hoping I could simply do the switch from CodeBlocks's build settings... Of course, it's not that simple.
By the way, GCC 3.4 is not even in synaptic manager. I suppose some apt-get install command can do it.
ideally I'd like to be able to switch between versions. I've heard of ccontrol, but I'm cautiously posting here before for any advice before blowing up my set up.
I have (after upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04) several packages who are installed with multiple versions.
e.g. Python
dpkg -l | grep python2
ii libpython2.6 2.6.5-1ubuntu6 Shared Python runtime library
[code]....
I guess I only need the newest one .. The other ones have status "RC" Or am I wrong here, and do I need to keep these old versions ?So how do I get rid off 2.4 and 2.5 and just keep version 2.6.How can I easily remove these "old" packages. I tried aptitude purge, aptitude clean, aptitude autoclean. But they don't do the trick.I am looking for an easy way, because python is only an example. Else I could just delete them be using their name.... (of course)
Using Synaptic and/or terminal is great and so easy, but i have noticed that applications are not always the latest versions that are in the repository ie cups for instance So if i wanted to download the latest app from a website, what is the best way to install, based on having an earlier version already installed. Is it better to just install over an older version or remove the older version, and then install the new version clean
If you remove and older version of an application first, what is the best method for doing this and removing any residual files etc that might be left on your system?
Basically my laptop did have a Windows 7 partition that came with the system(which I no longer need), a Ubuntu partition and a separate partition for storage. This was until I formatted the separate partition using Windows and it did something which gave me a file system error and would not let me boot into any os. Then because I was in a rush and had lectures in a hour I installed another Ubuntu partition of 3gb just to reinstall GRUB so I could boot into my original Ubuntu to get my files. Now I would like to delete the 3gb Ubuntu partition and the Windows partition to be left with my original Ubuntu partition and then merge the hard drive into just the one partition. My main fear before I attempt this is again destroying my GRUB. I know I have made a mess of this but would really appreciate being pointed into the right direction. I have done some searching and reading but struggled to find clearish instructions on how to do it properly.
View 7 Replies View RelatedBeen away for awhile (Fedora 5 or 6 was what I last ran). Just downloaded Fedora10 and installed it on a drive here, running great, looking slick. What drove me back to Fedora (Linux) is my need to create a simulated webserver to locally test stuff without messing up my live site. I had successfully installed php and mysql, using the specific versions my host uses. I then downloaded the RPM of the specific apache instal, followed the install directions and ran into a snag. Last step, says, "$ PREFIX/bin/apachectl start". I did that and received an error. Tried just typing apachectl start, and it worked. Upon my surprise it loaded Apache 2.2 (mine was a 1.3 release), and of course is Fedora-branded.
My questions are as follows:
Do I know somehow how two versions of Apache on? How do I start up the 1.3 one if so?
If not - How can I remove the 2.2, and what will have become of the 1.3 I installed?
I did a fresh 64-bit install of 10.04 workstation a few weeks ago, and my grub seems to "double up" the listings of my kernel versions. I have removed the older versions hanging around on my system, but you can see in the list below, that I still get the listings more than once:
jim@jim-laptop:/etc/grub.d$ sudo update-grub
Generating grub.cfg ...

When I turn on my computer, because of frequent updates it will display several versions of Ubuntu 10.10 that I can choose from. I wonder if it is possible to delete some of the older versions and how. I think having several versions of Ubuntu uses up a lot of space in the hard drive.

i made some desktops, some as folders, a new search page... now i cannot remove them. i am not give the option to remove any of them.
also if i try to change the page type, a NEW page is created instead of a change occuring to existing page.
What happens if you get an update for an older version kernel when you are using a new version?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a txt file with couple of comment lines:
Number of title = !num!
#line1
#line2
#line3
I wrote a script with "sed" to replace !num! in this file, which is very straightforward. However, based on the !num!, I want to remove the number of "#" based on the !num! value. Is there an easy way to do that with "sed"; otherwise, i will have to write a script to loop through the file.
I have hundreds of directories in various subdirs that I need to remove. I want to remove all of these dirs, but can only find solutions on how to do remove files (or how to remove subdirs from within the current dir).
I think I need something like
find -iname 'testfile*' | xargs rm -i
where I want to remove every directory that contains the word 'testfile' within the directory name. I know xargs wont work for dirs,
hey all i have a folder with lots of random jpegs but they all have the words 'SOMETHINGRANDOM' in there name that i want to remove and i'm trying something like this but it just renames all the files to 'newname'? Code: for filename in *.jpg; do newname=`echo $filename | sed -e 's/SOMETHINGRANDOM//g'` mv $filename newname; done

View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to quickly remove multiple related packages from the command line instead of having to enter the name of every single one? I am trying to remove OpenOffice from my server running 10.04. It would work nicely if I could get a list of packages without line breaks, such as the list displayed by aptitude when upgrading. That way I could just paste the package list into the terminal. However, "aptitude search 'openoffice'" dumps a long list on many lines that cannot be used that way.

I was doing some data recovery with Photorec and by the time I was done I have over 700 folders (recup_dir.).The only solution I was able to apply was the one posted by pljvaldez on this site dated 04-09-08, 09:01 AM. After doing the same thing for at least 70 times I decided to ask, so, is there anyone that knows how to delete multiple folders at the same time.

my laptop currently has 8GB of RAM and I wouldn't want that going to waste. I have read about the issues with flash on the 64 bit versions of buntu. Would you recommend going 64-bit or 32-bit with PAE? also, does the 10.10 kernel have PAE enabled by default?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to remove the first character of a line when I highlight multiple lines in gedit. Example:
%Example is
%Commented Code
%Uncomment using this shortcut
I would then highlight/select these lines, and remove the first character to make it look like this:
Example is
Commented Code
Uncomment using this shortcut
I'm pretty sure there is an actual shortcut for this. If there is another text editor on Linux that it would work in, it would be nice to know how to do it in that editor as well.
My server was hit with an injection script which has placed code across many of my clients files. I need a script that can remove a block of php code that spans multiple lines, multiple directories/files and is dynamic, meaning that part of the code changes. I think using find/sed is what I need but cannot seem to figure out how to get it to work.The following is the script that is being injected everywhere. The catch is that they have generated dynamic code at the start/end of the script. (I have commented the parts that are dynamically changing on EVERY instance).PLEASE NOTE: Directly following this script is the start of a valid php script that I do not want to delete.
<?php
//{{65281980 - DYNAMIC!!
