I changed the file manager from nautilus to pcmanfm via Ubuntu Tweak in Linux Mint 8. Is it safe to uninstall nautilus completely and just use pcmanfm?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a netbook which dual boots ubuntu and windows xp using grub legacy. Now I'd like to overwrite my current ubuntu 10.04 installation with a brand new 11.04. Grub is my main preoccupation: I'm worried installing 11.04 over the old installation may cause quite a mess due to the two grubs not going along well. Is it safe* to overwrite the older ubuntu installation with the new using the "traditional" bootable USB method?
*safety includes windows accessibility and data preservation.
I don't really understand how does grub work.
can I uninstall HAL from Ubuntu 10.04? i tried it on 9.10 2 weeks ago and unfortunately the dependencies also uninstalled the entire gnome desktop and many other essential things leaving me with a bulky half broken mock arch linux. if this is safe let me know I am dying to try out Device Kit to see how fast it really is.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have only Ubuntu 6.06 LTS installed on my pc. previously I had Win XP AND linux on my pc(dual boot).
Question is: how can I start from scratch i.e. completely delete Ubuntu is the first step. however, I do not know how to.
Additional problem is that it asks for GRUB and I have to insert the Windows (?) disk and it starts working again. Why does Ubuntu need XP disk is beyond me.
I installed Git on Ubuntu Lucid (latest) manually as following.
cd ~/tmp
wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.7.0.6.tar.gz
tar -xzvf git-1.7.0.6.tar.gz
cd git-1.7.0.6.tar.gz
[Code].....
Now, how can I completely uninstall it?
I use Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope). I recently installed four themes, Mac4Lin, Tigris, Raptor Slickness remix and SlicknesS. I dragged them into the Appearance Preferences window to install them (in the Themes tab). I didn't like the themes and uninstalled them. But, while I was customising the original theme (Human), I saw that window controls and borders of the theme were not uninstalled (1st attachment). Also, if I want to reinstall the themes, I get an error (2nd attachment). I have checked if any folders named after these themes were there in "/usr/share/themes", but didn't find any. How am I to uninstall these themes completely?

Below is a script that I've used to successfully install Skype into Debian 8.2 "Jessie" 64-bit. (This script is a slightly modified version taken from: wiki.debian.org/skype). I want to know the right way to uninstall it.
Code: Select allsu
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get install libc6:i386 libqt4-dbus:i386 libqt4-network:i386 libqt4-xml:i386 libqtcore4:i386 libqtgui4:i386 libqtwebkit4:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libx11-6:i386 libxext6:i386 libxss1:i386 libxv1:i386 libssl1.0.0:i386 libpulse0:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386
wget -O skype-install.deb [URL]
dpkg -i skype-install.deb
apt-get -f install
Now that I've installed Skype, how do I *UNINSTALL* Skype?
Will the following code completely remove the software added above, or will some "software-residue" be left behind, or will it remove other software that should have been left untouched?
Code: Select allsu
apt-get purge skype libc6:i386 libqt4-dbus:i386 libqt4-network:i386 libqt4-xml:i386 libqtcore4:i386 libqtgui4:i386 libqtwebkit4:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libx11-6:i386 libxext6:i386 libxss1:i386 libxv1:i386 libssl1.0.0:i386 libpulse0:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386

Hello people. So, some days ago, I Installed Wine in my machine, and it was working pretty good. But I decided to add WineTricks. Since then, I can not install any program using wine, nor open the installed ones (gives me errors). So, does anybody knows about a way to completelly uninstall Wine? I have tries "yum remove Wine" and "yum remove wine*", but it doesn't do anything. I am using Fedora 13.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen Ubuntu Software Centre removes software, it leaves files behind in File System which is owned by Root preventing me from deleting them.
1. Could this be why Update Manager is insisting that I install updates for software that I have removed and do not use?
2. There is one application I would like to re-install because it asked me technical questions before I installed it. I think I gave the wrong answer and when I re-installed it, it didn't ask the question again. It seems likely that there is a file somewhere that Ubuntu Software Centre didn't remove, and I could do with deleting but is owned by Root. How do I do this?
3. Should I have posted this query under 'Absolute Beginner Talk?'. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx.

I use slackware 13.1-current on desktop with 4gb ram, nvidia geforce 210, and AMD cpu.
I have problem with my X starting using 40-50 MB of RAM and after some hours suddenly rises up to 400-500 MB. I have tried KDE ( with and without desktop effects ), LXDE, 3 different nvidia drivers ( the one made from the slackbuilds ) but no luck.
I decided at last to use the default slackware's driver. I uninstalled the nvidia driver and do startx, but it says code...
I have no idea about GPU and drivers, it was a mistake to install a driver for my nvidia just to have desktop effects. I just want to bring the things back as at the beginning of the systems installation and the default drivers.
Do you have any idea how to do it?

View 5 Replies View RelatedFor not apparent reason, yesterday PCmanFM stopped showing CDROM on the list of mountable devices. Before, it was being listed every time I put some written cd/dvd in it.
I don't think fstab has anything to do with it since there was no change to it AND I know for a fact that the line in fstab for cdrom since 5 months is actually wrong.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIn GNOME one can write an XML document telling the system when to change between various files to automatically change the desktop wallpaper, and then set that XML document as the wallpaper.
I have three I like to switch between, containing the schedules and playoff brackets of my favorite sports teams.
I've been using LXDE far more than I've been using GNOME these days, but LXDE won't let me set the XML as the wallpaper like GNOME does.
So after searching around a bit I thought I'd create a cronjob that would change the wallpaper every 20 minutes.
So I set up this
Code:
But it didn't do what I thought it would in changing my wallpaper automatically.
Since I had never used cronjobs before I thought I was doing something wrong in how I had it set up. Various tries to no avail.
But then I have the real problem none of the various I've treid of simply running pcmanfm --set-wallpaper or pcmanfm -w (the --help says they do the same thing) actually do anything. I've tried both with and without.
