I'm not leaving linux but i have a new system just for linux. so first i need to remove linux from this system. it was quite some time ago i did all this partitioning so heres a screen shot of my current partitions
i want to remove the linux partitions and give the space back to C: but without any data lose on my C: drive, is this possible ?
I've been running Linux for about 3 years now. I still am having difficulties understanding some of the basic unix and linux software and their dependencies.
What I am wanting to do, simply for my own amusement, is to strip the OS down so that I am only running software that I need. Then I want to build it back up with X and some sort of desktop.
Right now I have a stock Ubuntu 10.04 installation from the alternative DVD. Right now I sit at 643MB and 14MB of ram. Of course I would want it to be lower.
Here are the programs currently on the chopping block. I need to now if I honestly need them or not. I state next to the software whether or not I know what it is. code...
So obviously I have not a clue about many things still, and if you've caught an error in my descriptions then I have less of a clue than I thought.
I just need to know what the system needs to run. I like the basic commands like less, grep, free, df, du, adduser, usermod, apt-get, dpkg, cp, mv, rm, mkdir, ect. What I don't need are things like w3m telnet(Unless someone knows something I don't), memtest+, and I don't ever use cron, but I also don't know if it does something behind the scenes that is vitally important. I remember trying to get rid of memtest one time and it wouldn't boot after that. Any idea why?
How can i remove it , i installed docky , and i only want to use it
View 4 Replies View RelatedHaving recently installed Ubuntu 10.10, I'm currently looking around for different programs. However, it's already getting on my nerves that I have to type my password every time I want to install something. Where and how do I disable this? I already set myself as admin in the user settings but that doesn't seem to work.
This goes for things like changing system settings too, it's really annoying.
The latest update installed a new linux header 2.6.35-23. The older version 2.6.35-22 also appears in grub. What would be the sense in keeping them both? And if not required how do I remove the older version from grub?
I tried: "sudo update-grub" which changed nothing.
On 10.04, Lucid, I have a need to adjust the system menu for one of our accounts to remove the Log Out [Name] item. It's a rather embarrassing problem involving the nVidia driver, a laptop, a dock and dual monitors, where ending a gnome session sems to crash the video driver (or even the whole computer, I'm not sure) where I can adjust the contents of the system menu either for the whole system or for particular users?

I use Pidgin for many protocols included the IRC, so I don't need Skype icon in the system tray at all.

I know Windows was there first, but the computer has been booting from the /boot/grub/grub.cfg menu, so when this is gone will it automatically check the windows partition for a boot.ini or whatever?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to remove a specific domU (test01--pv--guest) from my machine. I am not sure how far/to what extent to remove files. Here are the files and properties it seems I should remove:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 9 11:05 /dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-xenvg-test01--pv--guest--disk -> ../../dm-3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-xenvg-test01--pv--guest--swap -> ../../dm-2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jan 9 11:05 /dev/mapper/xenvg-test01--pv--guest--disk -> ../dm-3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/mapper/xenvg-test01--pv--guest--swap -> ../dm-2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jan 9 11:05 /dev/xenvg/test01-pv-guest-disk -> ../dm-3
The above link to dm-2 and dm-3.
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 0 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/dm-0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 1 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/dm-1

brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 7 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/dm-7
Will they be deleted automatically or should/can I remove them? How do I check the need for the other dm-? files? As indicated below, it seems like some may be duplicates.
I also found this set in /etc/lvm/archive/:

Some of these seem like duplicates. This may be due to multiple attempts to build the volumes. Is there a way to determine if all of the are useful?
I'm using Fedora 14. I need to install an older version of MySQL for some testing at work. To do so, I go to remove the existing MySQL 5.1.x that is installed - a dependency of Akonadi. Well, the ensuing chain of dependencies ended up essentially killing KDE. I don't suppose there is a convenient way to get KDE back without Akonadi? I really don't care if I have PIM storage services.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow to remove X completely from the system?
As a Security practice I wanted to disable X from loading.
So i modified following line from /etc/inittab.
id:3:initdefault:
I was then able to start my machine in terminal mode(runlevel 3).
I wasn't satisfied at this stage as i was able to get the graphical console by merely typing code...
Now i have made the above line commented and removed execute bit of the file .
System is now behaving as i wish it would.
I have 2 questions here.
1)Is this Method considered to be stardard while removing X in linux distro.
Will it make any difference?
I m not using any application that explicitly use graphical user interface and i can work in runlevel 3.
2)Is any package responsible for loading X .If yes then removing shall remove X from the system,correct me if i m wrong.code...

I have built a CentOS server, as many times before, and have has to move it to a new location/network. I had changed the virtual site that was configured with a virtual ip address on the same nic. I have since removed the virtual nic, checked my host files and network files and nothing now has the old ip address. I had issues I believed caused by dns or ip address so I finally uninstalled Apache. Reinstalled it. I still cannot access the site that was there. I have cleared all the data I can from the Firefox browser such as histoy. However when I go to "http://localhost" it says it cannot connect to the old ip address. WHERE IS THAT BEING SENT FROM??? It's driving me crazy. I really don't want to rebuild the server as there are other things that took some time to get configured.
View 111 Replies View RelatedThe thing is, i'm getting thin on hd space so i have to remove it. I have read that i could just format linux partition and than boot with windows cd and fix motherboard, but i do not have windows cd on me. Can i use another tool, that would allow me to fix the "damage" grub did? Acronis or something like that?
To avoid to complicated answers, just give me a solution that works without criptic linux commands, i get lost in that.
Also, i am actually a supporter of open source and free software, but i also think that linux is nowhere near being easy to use for the general population, no matter the microsofts conditioning. So i guess ill give it a go at 11.00 again to see whats going on

View 5 Replies View RelatedSince I'm running Sid. Let's assume package foo has been upgraded via apt-get dist-upgrade, and it causes a serious bug so that Sid is never able to fully start up, and is not even able to get me to the console to remove the package.
(Reword: let's assume that I upgraded the system despite apt-listbug warning me that foo had serious issues.)
Is it possible for me to remove the package and get back in? Everything I've seen online assumes that I could at least access console--but this hypothetical bug doesn't allow that.
If it were in Arch, I would just boot from the live dist, arch-chroot into the / directory, and try to remove foo via pacman. But Debian doesn't offer a live disk past Stable, so I suspect that this wouldn't work with a Wheezy disk?
Am I asking for an impossible situation, or can a troublesome package be removed from an unresponsive Sid?
