Ubuntu :: Items In Synaptic Which Are Shown As Upgradeable ?
May 2, 2010
About items in Synaptic which are shown as upgradeable. (see attachment)The first item is, according to the description, used by ATI cards. I use nVidia. Can I just uninstall the package without problems, or will my system fall apart?
The next item is gimp-gap. When trying to upgrade it says it depends on another package which:
Code:
How to upgrade this package?
The last one is xul-runner-1.9.2. In the past when I updated this package, the package OpenFTD which I use doesn't want to start anymore. According to the person who writes this, it depends on the way Mozilla and Ubuntu are building the package xulrunner. This could be a "cheap" answer but what to do? Do I need xulrunner when I don't use Firefox? I do use Thunderbird however.
When I don't do anything these three items will be presented as upgradeable all the time and I don't want or cannot install the upgrades.

on my Linux Ubuntu 8.04 machine, I recently added a new user. When ever I use it, I can't get to System~Administration~Synaptic Package Manager, for the sole reason that it does not show up in the System~Administration list. Also, some other things don't show up, such as hardware drivers.

I am thinking about upgrading my home computer to the beta. Having been burned by Microsoft's RC program and reloading my kids computers, I wondering if I will be able to move to the final release when it comes out at the end of the month. If the upgrade path from Beta->LTS is a complete reinstall, I'll wait.

I just reinstalled Ubuntu Lucid Lynx and an old problem has come back. For some reason I couldn't fix it even in my previous installation. The problem is the top gnome panel. See the photo below: As you can see, the network icon is not shown properly while the Me menu is being shown twice. I can't even restart or log out or shut down at this situation without pressing the keystroke to turn the power off.

I have asked this question several times but I think that I am not asking it correctly. I have umbutu 9.04 and Windows 7.0 on my C: drive. When I start my machine I have approximately 9 or 10 items on my boot list and I would like to have 2.It has been suggested that I determine what version of grub I am using and I am using /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-19 generic. I have no idea what that means.It has been suggested that I install some various items of software and I am sure that it would solve my problem but to me it would be like looking down a cows throat. Please, don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the input but its like when you go to the doctor you kind of wonder "just what the heck is he talking about". Maybe someone could just tell me how to accomplish what I want to do so I can understand!My daughter uses this machine and she goes to places that I didn't know I had.

I am running PunBB on my home server (Lubuntu). It works fine while browsing the site from my desktop computer via internal IP. When I access the domain name from outside my router it does not display the site correctly, instead of a nice php site, it pulls up a site that looks like no php was used.If I try and access a index.html page (instead of the index.php) on my server from the outside it works real quick with no problems.

So I have virtualbox with a fresh install of Windows XP running in it (no service packs) and when I plug in a USB Item it shows up on the device list and it is not greyed out, but nothing happens I cannot access the device through windows XP. It was greyed out before but then I logged in as root and started virtual box and it is not greyed out anymore but nothing happens when I plug in a USB item.

I have a bit of a minor niggle with ubuntu 10.04. The items in my top panel seem to rearrange themselves at random whenever i logout and then log back in again. For example, i normally have indicator applett session in the top right hand corner of my screen, but if i logout and log back in again it has occasionally jumped across to the left of the active panel items.

I installed a dual boot Windows 7 / Ubuntu netbook remix 10.04 yesterday.So far so good, everything works fine.
However, i would like to get rid of the little enveloppe in the menu bar, more precisely in what i think is called the notification area. i have found some stuff online about how I'm supposed to delete a package and restart, quite unsuccessful method really, since the envelope is still there.
Plus whenI right click on the menu bar to pin / unpin items, it doesnt work, all the submenus are greyed out.

Deleting unwanted items from the Unity Sidebar is easy.
but how do you add to it? I'd like to add Terminal, Calibre and some other things to the sidebar for easier access.
I would also like to move Google Chrome to the top of the bar, instead of the middle.
So how does one customize this side bar in Unity?
other than not knowing how to customize my applications in the sidebar, Unity is pretty awesome.

When I choose System --> Preferences --> Screensaver, it runs x-screensaver instead of gnome-screensaver, BUT, in /usr/share/applications, I have the file:
gnome-screensaver-preferences.desktop
And the contents are:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Screensaver
Comment=Set your screensaver preferences
Icon=preferences-desktop-screensaver
Exec=gnome-screensaver-preferences
[Code]....
So it should be launching gnome-screensaver, not x-scrensaver. Where on earth is x-screensaver getting launched from? I thought the menu was determined by /usr/share/applications. (By the way, I did previously have x-screensaver instead of gnome, I am trying to put it back how it was. I have more-or-less succeeded, except this Menu item which is puzzling me.)

I can see how to add programs to the Launcher. I can also remove some things from the launcher. But there are some things that Ubuntu evidently thinks should never be removed from the launcherFor example I don't like "Files and Folders". It doesn't show the entire folder structure. I can't see how to remove it. Instead I prefer "File Manager".

I don't like Windows 7 Starter, nor Microsoft. I'm in the process of ditching them for Ubuntu. I'm trying, I really am. I've successfully installed Ubuntu Netbook Edition, and I'm now stuck. How the hell do I use this? I can't figure out how to add different items to my side menu bar. I can't figure out which version of Ubuntu I have. The documentation page says, "To check which version of Ubuntu you are running, click System -> About Ubuntu. The first line of the page that loads will tell you the version number, for example Ubuntu 10.04 LTS." I DON'T EVEN HAVE A "SYSTEM" BUTTON! How am I supposed to use this clumsy OS? I can't find any sort of "beginner's guide" or help like that on the internet.

I have had Ubuntu on my own laptop for a few weeks, and I really like it. I bought my daughter a new mini laptop (Samsung N130) a few days ago, which came with XP. It has no CD/DVD drive, so I downloaded Ubuntu onto a 2GB memory stick, and installed it from there. The installation went fine, but I can't go online. When I click on the network manager icon there is no wireless network shown. It only shows wired network and VPN connections. If I right-click, it doesn't show 'enable wireless', just 'enable networking'. I think I have switched on the wireless network card, which seems to be F9 on her laptop, with an antenna icon. There is an LED showing with that same icon.

I am running ubuntu 11.04. Compiz seems to be installed as shown by green in Synaptic along with some other related packages. I have now marked compiz-fusion bcop & Emerald & installed them. Both turned green in Synaptic. While Emerald Manager is seen in the System Preference list, Compiz is not seen anywhere. How to launch Compiz?

I just started using the Ubuntu Netbook Remix (9.10 Karmic) a couple weeks ago. I've added my own and removed a few of the default icons in the simplified, menu-driven desktop interface. However, the icons are in the order in which they were added (particularly in the "Favourites" tab. How can I rearrange or sort these icons?
I've tried right-clicking the tab and desktop, but no sort option appears. I've tried dragging the icons to the desired spot in the window, but that doesn't work either. Is there a control panel in the "System" tab that will let me sort the icons, or is this not possible in the netbook remix?
