Well, earlier today I installed 'conky-all' and now I can't seem to remove it. To install it, I used:
Code:
sudo apt-get install conky-all
I then used a conkyrc that I found on an internet tutorial. It seemed to run okay but it was very ugly so I tweaked a few variables. However, after doing so, I couldn't get conky to work again. So, just to see if it was the variables that I set which could have broke it, I changed the conkyrc file back to that ugly one which worked before. I then tried to run conky again and this time it didn't work either.
I then decided to remove conky in an effort to reinstall the conky, this time just conky as opposed to conky-all. I used:
Code:
sudo apt-get remove conky-all
Thinking that I had successfully removed conky, I did another apt-get to install conky. When I couldn;t get that one to work, I tried to remove it. However, this time I decided to check and see if it was actually removed, by using:
i installed conky but it never worked :S Im using ubuntu 9.10 , after i installed conky i typed sudo conky but it stucked at conky : single buffer frame , but there were program barely working on the background so i typed gedit ~/,conky and i tried to edit it after that now not even working on background ! and gives me that error : Code:
energy@energy-console:~$ conky Conky: missing text block in configuration; exiting ***** Imlib2 Developer Warning ***** :
This program is calling the Imlib call: imlib_context_free(); With the parameter: context
being NULL. how can i fix or/and how can i uninstall that program with all files and try to download again?
I am NOT willing (nor is my IBM T41 for that matter) to make from source the new conky 1.7.2, so can someone give me a deb file for squeeze that I can install to my system to replace my current 1.7.1 conky? I really want to use lua scripts. (Specifically: [URL])
how to remove the black area behind conky without using compositing?
I have been trying to remove Platinum arts sandbox game making program for a while now. I have tried using the terminal command: sudo apt-get remove dpkg
But I keep getting an error message:
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock -open (11: resource Temporarily Disable) E: Unable to unlock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
Then I typed: /var/lib/dpkg/lock -open
Then I got the following message:
bash: /var/lib/dpkg/lock: permission denied
What does all of this mean? How come this file is locked and requires admin permission?
I'm trying to remove brscan that I had installed for my old scanner , but I get this message , any ideas how to remove brscan ? I tried the package manager, now it is stuck , I can't uncheck it ,can't reinstall it , can't install anything else because of this
I was making some tests and I could see that ubuntu software management systems doesn't delete user data when uninstalling applications, only the binary packages.
e.g. reinstalling Thunderbird won't delete the email accounts info.
When 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.
as much as i am one for saving space and throwing out the trash. now my problem is the fact that I DO NOT WANT THIS program (localepurge) running on my system. i look and did everything i could. note : i am a noobie. when i config the program from the start i told it NO don't delete anything. and now that i have done some reading i do not want it working period. i could not find a way to disable or uninstall localepurge.
There's a single command to achieve this result? I want those (never and not willing to use in future) features to be completly remove from all my systems (*buntu).
Prefered command like sudo apt-get autoremove and avoid "clicking/settting throug various menu" Battery level indicator prefereably kept
I am trying to streamline a desktop install into a more streamlined server-esk install. I have edited the inittab to change the runlevel at startup to 3. How do I now remove KDE completely? Also are there any other large programs I need to uninstall?
When I tried to uninstall some applications, pidgin, for example, via 'Add/Remove Software', YaST told me that I have to uninstall another 200+ packages. Is this something normal? I'm new to Linux and don't want ruin the system, so I seek for another way.
I found that 'Software Manager' can also be used to uninstall the package, so I use it to uninstall pidgin. The problem is after I pressed 'Apply' button, there are so many package installing by themselves. I saw that most of them are appended with '-lang'.
Said that all the config i find put all the info in one place of the screen, in this example on the right side:
url
or like conky colors where you can put in either side, or other complex examples that use folders with images..that at least i need one day to study all the variables it has...
What i want is something simple, in my black background i dont want images and effects, only white simple text.
My problem is: i want for instance my specs above, my log info in the middle, my music info bellow (above my clock) and in conky config i'm hitting my head in the wall....
For instance if i use my facebook script to appear in the midle how the hell can i put my music info bellow without ruined the facebook in the midle...do i need 2 conky configs?
How To: Uninstall/Remove Old Wireless Driver to make way for New Driver (RTL8191SE)?
Here's the new driver:
I have been having trouble with my wireless connection intermittently disconnecting and reconnecting repeatedly (sometimes every couple of seconds). I posted a thread about this here on Ubuntu Forums titled: Ubuntu 10.45 & NetworkManager Applet 8.0: Connects & Disconnects Frequently.
when I type "conky" in terminal it returns with Conky: invalid configuration file '/home/user/.conkyrc' Conky: missing text block in configuration; exiting ***** Imlib2 Developer Warning ***** : This program is calling the Imlib call: imlib_context_free(); With the parameter: context being NULL. Please fix your program. I've tried completely uninstalling, rebooting, then reinstalling, still same error?
I would like to remove openSUSE (11.3) from my dual boot (/Windows) system. In the old days, the install CD used to have an option for that, but now my DVD doesn't have anything, or perhaps I overlooked?
I have a problem with conky. It draws a black background instead of using pseudo-transparency. I ofc tried to achieve this with feh but to no avail. All the instructions here failed: Conky Hardcore! Conky transparency with KDE (3 and 4)
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?
This has been bothering me for years now...when I go to remove a thumb drive from my computer, I have two options when I right click the device eject and safely remove. What on earth is the difference supposed to be?
I am the only user on my laptop so there are somethings that I don't need.I would like to remove the login at start. What do I remove to make it go away? Second one is Keyring. Is it necessary? Can I remove it without causing problems?
I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 and i thought I'll just compile the latest version of conky. So i did:
Code: ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-audacious=yes --enable-iostats --enable-curl --enable-rss --enable-weather-metar --enable-weather-xoap --enable-imlib2 --enable-lua-imlib2 --enable-lua --enable-lua-cairo --enable-wlan All good. I finally install everything and manage to get configure to finish but once I type make it exists in the middle.
I recently installed Ubuntu and I came across Conky.I was fascinated with this software and installed it using terminal codes. At first it rand with the default config file loaded. then i PC shutdown due to a power failure. now conky does not start and after searching over the net i found out that my conky config file is missing. I pasted the conky config fiel yet to no avail.
It gives me this error while running it in Terminal
Code: Conky: /home/shazzy/.conkyrc: 30: no such configuration: 'on_bottom' Conky: /home/shazzy/.conkyrc: 63: no such configuration: 'border_margin' Conky: use_spacer should have an argument of left, right, or none. 'no' seems to be some form of 'false', so defaulting to none.
[Code]....
Here's the link to the site. I'm not sure how do i set this up as my conky config.
I've been trying to set up Conky and everytime I try to put in new code that I've copied and pasted I always get it to look super crappy for some reason..Also why is it going to the bottom left instead of top right?
I would like some help with Conky. I have no Idea how to configure it and all the guides are soo confusing to me. I would like it to be clear, have some basic PC info about my computer and show me the weather.
does anyone have cpu temp,gdu temp,fan information working in 11.04? if so you tell me how you did it. I have cpu temperature working just not the rest.
