I'm a recent migrant to Ubuntu from windows xp, and I definitely love linux. but, after years of windoze, I'm left with a few questions. today I tried installed kde, but it didn't work on my hardware, so I uninstalled it. i also tried to put google earth on my system, but it kept crashing so I removed it. after removing kde I had to reinstall a couple programs. all said, after doing all that, do I need to scan my system to remove trash files, or is that not a problem in linux?I'm also having some problems finding software after I've installed it in synaptic. when the package shows to be installed, I can't find any way to launch it through the menus. I don't have that problem if I use the ubuntu software center.

I am running a recently installed minimal install. I am having some fun building the system up but trying to keep things slim. I have installed the ATI catalyst drivers working from the tutorial here under 'Installing the Restricted Drivers Manually': [URL]... After successfully getting the ATI driver running, I realise I really don't need or want it and am wanting to uninstall it completely and return the config to the way it was. Some of that I can do with the aid of some of the links I have found but installing the ATI drivers no doubt killed some of the packages that were there in the first place (graphics was fine in the first place incidentally). Question: What might these squashed packages be so I can reinstall them and have graphics setup as it was before I installed the ATI drivers and how can I remove all trace of the ATI drivers?

I've destroyed my desktop.
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and I would much like to uninstall (including any config files) and reinstall the windows manager.
Is there a set of commands I can run to achieve this?

I cannot uninstall Firefox, nor can I uninstall Chromium; one always stays if the other is uninstalled. For example, if I remove Firefox, Chromium will appear in its place and vice versa. This has got to be one of the weirdest bugs I've ever seen on Ubuntu! So, how can I uninstall both web browsers?

I have been searching through the web trying to find a way to install (mount?) and format a used 80G HD.I have installed GParted and it makes no sense to me. None of the tutorials on ..... have been helpful either (except to get me frustrated) I want to learn Linux and use it for my main os but, having these troubles makes it difficult.

the upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 has proved to be an unmitigated disaster for my netbook. I have no menus! Nothing at the top (i.e. the usual Gnome desktop with "Browse and run installed applications," "Applications," "Places," "System") and no Unity buttons available wherever I put the cursor.Plus, when the system goes to sleep and I press the power button to revive it, it reboots! I don't understand how v. 11.04 is an improvement over v. 10.10.
how I can uninstall v 11.04 -- bearing in mind I have no menus -- so I can reinstall v. 10.10?

I am having a bit of a problem with Wine as I cannot remove any of the programs that I have installed in it, namely Steam. Even if I try to uninstall wine via "sudo apt-get remove wine" I can still navigate to Steam through Applications - Wine - Programs - Steam. I don't know what to do. I've even tried the "Uninstall Wine Software" option to get rid of Steam but that has also failed.

I have Handbrake on my computer and as I don't use it, I want to know how to uninstall it. GUI terms, that would be great, as I don't know how to use command line (I find it confusing and complicated).

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.

I installed the latest updates last night (It came up automatically on the screen and I clicked the Update). Now I am having problems mainly my wireless network keeps connecting/disconnecting then sometimes asks for the password/key for the router etc.The system also got hung today and had to hard boot.
I am pretty sure one or some of the updates is responsible for this rather annoying problem, but I do not know how to undo the latest updates?The original install could not even pick up the wireless bcs it is a RealTek RTL8191SE NIC and this particular NIC had problems with Linux drivers! It started to work by itself after the 2nd or 3rd update.

Ok, so I tried to run the .deb package to install the Facebook chat plugin for Pidgin, and something got all messed up with that, and now nothing will install or uninstall. Synaptics won't run, Update Manager tells me to try a termianl command that doesn't work, and the Software center doesn't work either. I've attached screenshots of the problems. I've tried to download and reinstall the .deb file, and it still doesn't work.
I wanted to upload one more picture, but it only allows five. The last picture was of the terminal window. Here's what it said.
"Sudo apt-get install f
reading package lists... done
building dependency tree
reading state information... done
E: The package pidgin-facebookchat needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it"

Im new to ubuntu so i may not understand some answers so please bare with me. For a university thing i needed to run java so i installed sun java 6.0. I got an error half way though so i thought nothing of it and went off to do other things. Now when i try and install or uninstall anything i get this message
The package system is broken If you are using third party repositories then disable them, since they are a common source of problems. Now run the following command in a terminal: apt-get install -f
And the details read sun-java6-plugin.

How do I uninstall Ubuntu 10.10 using the 10.04 live cd?? I have Ubuntu installed at sda4.
Also, I plan to install 10.04(instead of 10.10 because 10.10 ran a bit jerky). Do you recommend that I do a wubi install or from the live cd??
