as my laptop is getting older and slower, I deactivated the nice window effects. System -> propieries -> appereance -> no effects.But Ubuntu reactives them after the next reboot!Is there any configuration file or do I have to uninstall compiz-core complete?
View 8 RepliesI don't know if this is the right place to be posting, sorry if it's not. Basically, my issue is I installed a Chrome addon, didn't like the functionality, removed it, and it altered functionality of Chromium as a whole. So I want to remove Chromium and all its settings, then do a completely fresh install. Currently everything I've tried brings up all my old tabs and settings after the reinstall, as if I'd never done anything at all.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen upgrading to Maverick I accidentally (yes, I know, my bad) installed Grub to my Ubuntu partition instead of to the MBR. It was already installed to the MBR prior to this. So, when I rebooted all I got was the Grub rescue console. I loaded the Linux image with a different boot loader on floppy instead, and proceeded to uninstall and reinstall Grub2 to MBR with
Code:
sudo apt-get purge grub-common grub-pc
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda
sudo update-grub
However, on restart I now get the regular Grub console, but not the selection screen to select what to boot. This even though all Linux kernel images and the Windows 7 partition I have was found during the reinstall. So, seems I need to do a complete purge of Grub from both MBR and sda3 (which is the Ubuntu partition i accidentally chose on upgrade), and start over clean. Question is then, how do I do it, line by line from the terminal?

It looks like the compiz is making my computer very slow.
On other pc which is even older, I run 10.04 and there seems to be no compiz installed.
Can I simply go to synaptic and unistall all compiz parts or will that somehow completely break or stop booting my 10.10?
I want to uninstall compiz but I have some problems. When I completely remove the package with Synaptics, compiz is still installed on my computer! Few days ago I installed compiz following this website [URL] and it probably explains why. Now how do I revert the process? How do uninstall everything? I tried sudo apt-get remove compiz* but it tells me the it cannot locate compiz-check (even though it is installed)

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu 10.04 x64.This past week Update Manager came up and offered to do a partial upgrade, as some packages could not be upgraded. I had just assumed the 'partial' was an issue with Opera (as I have seen in the past), so I allowed it and let the update go through.
This morning when I turned on the system, Metacity is running, and Compiz is not. My first thought was that the update somehow changed my defaults, so I went to change them back. Desktop Effects could not be enabled through the menu (there was a screen flicker, then a "Desktop effects cannot be enabled" error).
Running compiz from the terminal does this:
Code:
barry@Independence:~$ compiz --replace
compiz (core) - Fatal: Root visual is not a GL visual
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0
Launching fallback window manager Various other methods I found on the forums to fix it left me in the same state. Clearly there's some issue that is preventing compositing or some other effect from working that Compiz needs. I've never had to troubleshoot an update before, so I'm not sure where to look to see what exactly was changed.
I wanted to know how to uninstall compiz which I installed on my Fedora partition, and now that I logged out, I cannot log in, because every time the desktop loads, large errors come up that bring me back to the login screen. I try to load gtk-2 that allows compiz, but that takes me back to the login screen without an error message, which I consider is wierd. Is there anyway that I could uninstall compiz, ccsm, fusion, and similar plugins from my ubuntu partition, or atleast kick them off the start-up program list so I can uninstall them the next time I log in (successfully)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to generate core dump files from my program when it crashes. Its a pretty big process and has about 10-11 threads in it.I have followed the documentation to enable core dump by setting ulimit to unlimited etc. I quickly tried "A demo program creating a core dump" from the following webpage, which succeeds in Segfault and dumping a core file in the directory that I configured.However, I tried running my original program and caused it to crash. I did this by making calls to kill(), raise() or the same null pointer access as shown in the webpage above. In each case, my program crashed but did not generate a core dump file. Am I missing something?My program is in C++ and my environment is Redhat 9.0 (kernel 2.4.20)
Going through the "Why do I NOT get a core dump?" section on the same webpage as above, I can see two potential problems. One - there are issues with the suid/sgid (bullet # 6). I am not able to change any settings with suid because my system does not contain either /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable or /proc/sys/kernel/suid_dumpableTwo, my program has threads in it and the bullet # 8 is the problem.

I had my laptop turned on. The battery turned out low and my pc shut down (not in the correct way obviously)! Plus: I was running apt-get upgrade but it should have done before shutting down. Now, I restarted my pc and under nm-applet I see: "wireless network: device not ready" and at login I get the message: "Network configurations failed. org.freedesktop.dbus.error.spawn.PermissionsInvalid: the permission of the setuid helper is not correct" and that I could not be able to connect via bluetooth (but actuallyu I can't use wireless!)! What to do guys? I use debian squeeze. I read from someone using kubuntu that he solved the problem reinstalling all the packages with "dbus" in their name. But I don't know if my ethernet will work yet!
Update: if I run dpkg-reconfigure dbus, it tells me that dbus package is corrupted or not complete: could be the issue?

I need to install snort on my laptop with UBUNTU.

Recently I was forced to "downgrade" my AMD64 Squeeze installation to 32 bit Squeeze. The installation was (obviously) made from scratch. Everything else seems to be working fine, but there is only one cpu core out of four detected. On AMD64 kernel all four cores were functional. Now what?

I have this package dependency question for a while. I have brand new Squeeze system. I selected desktop during installation. Gnome is default system but I turned off gdm3 and uses fluxbox as window manager. I understand if two packages are tied together funtionally so that removal of either package terminates one feature. Above cases, many small packages only depends on the core packages. The core packages work fine without games, other programs.
There are so many programs that I want to remove in the system. For examples, ekiga is a VoIP program that I never use it. When I tried to remove it using apt-get or aptitude, it suggests entire gnome packages will be removed also, which is illogical. The only solution I found is I need to manually remove the package files. I haven't tried it yet.

Uninstalled wubi (though I enjoyed Ubuntu I want to do a clean install instead of the wubi/windows piggy-back). However, I still get an option to choose ubuntu when rebooting. I know that there's something I need to delete in the boot.ini file, but all I read is "delete mentions of ubuntu" or "delete the ubuntu line".
I hope I'm understandably wary of just waltzing into the boot file and deleting something like this, so what exactly do I delete from the boot.ini file to complete the uninstallation?
This is what I have in the boot file:
Code:
So all I delete is the "C:wubildr" line? Or does all that do is remove the mention of ubuntu from the startup menu but I still need to choose XP as the OS I want to boot into during startup?

Does anyone know where I can find the complete documentation for file modes under Linux? It's not in the chmod(1) man page. I can't find it in the documentation directory of the kernel tarball either. I thought it would be in the POSIX specs, but I can't find it if it is.
i have just installed the java run time environment (jre-6u21-linux-i586.bin) in the wrong directory on my desktop version of Ubuntu. i wish to uninstall the files that are in the incorrect location and then install these files in the correct directory (/usr/local/jrel.6.0_21). i cannot remove the incorrectly located files. the command rm -R does not work, it claims that no such directory exists.
the result of ls -l shop it to have the following permissions (drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2010-07-25 12:33 jre1.6.0_21). i cannot change into the directory. the lsattr attributes of the directory are --- --- --- ---. i cannot move the directory and files as again the directory does not exist. i have also used apt-get remove but still no success how do i uninstall these bin directory/files?
