Ubuntu :: Removal - Despeckle Does Not Appear In The GIMP Plug-In Registry
Oct 13, 2010
Trying to figure out GIMP plugins. My version of GIMP (2.6.6) shows Despeckle as grayed out. Going online, Despeckle does not appear in the GIMP Plug-In Registry. I'm on dial-up at home, which of course makes everything infinitely harder. Plus I'm not very familiar with GIMP plugins. Anyone know what's going on with Despeckle? I'm picking up a couple of old SCSI Nikon Coolscans and would like to see how hard it's going to be to run them with Ubuntu. Can use Windows for the scanning work but it'd be fun to use Ubuntu.
I started an upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04 and it stopped with the message: Ubuntu desktop is listed to be removed but is on the removal blacklist. Then it restored back to 8.04. I don't know how to resolve this - it would be alright to remove the old Ubuntu desktop.
If you had Gimp 2.6 (with gimp-plugin-registry installed) and installed Gimp 2.7 to try its new goodies, but Layer Effects are not showing, and when executing "gimp" from console you get these *nasty* errors:
Code: This is a development version of GIMP. Debug messages may appear here. gimp-user-install: migrating from /home/user/.gimp-2.6 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/layerfx.py", line 23, in <module> import gimp, gimpplugin, math ImportError: No module named gimp .....
If you haven't install the 2.7 version yet. Before upgrading, backup "python" directory and then just restore it after installing 2.7.
Some of you may have had with issues after installing GIMP on Lucid Lynx 10.04. Which may be directly related to "gimp-help-en", which could prevent you from installing other applications and preforming system tasks. If so, use this method to fix it.
Process: (Terminal > $ sudo apt-get install gimp)
1. After installing Gimp go to the terminal:
2. Then load up the language support application:
3. Then it will ask you to install the "gimp-help-en", confirm it.
4. Fix'd
I think this issue is directly linked to a systems with multiple languages, but I haven't been able to test this theory out yet.
I'm so used to Windows having to run multiple malware scans with multiple tools. Running registry cleaners and running CCleaner to remove all of the old temp files, cookies etc.. Derfagging. Ok with Ubuntu no more malware scans. No more registry scans. It appears that there isn't a defrag tool? And what about the other things that tend to clog up the works, Temp files , cookies etc. Is that what the disc janitor is all about?
It's been weeks since I've logged into Windows but to test a eth0 card issue I now want to see if it works in Win7 and lo and behold, I can't for the life of me remember my Windoze password.I see lots of references to using specially created iso files to gain access to edit the registry, but I am wondering if anyone knows the commands I would need (from the command prompt of my F13 install dvd, rescue mode) to access the registry and what section I would need to change.I am guessing that I can do this from the command line without needing to download a special iso that (for all I know) could have any number of malware on it.I know this is not exactly the place to ask for a Windows registry edit walkthrough, but I figure some of you out there might have done this yourselves.
so in Windows I remember I could add to the registry under the * folder in classes_root under Shell, I could add any command I wanted. That way no matter what file I right clicked on I could have EDIT or OPEN with that file.
Is there a way to add this to the gnome right click menu? A default always there for all filetypes? I have UltraEdit Linux installed and want to have the same functionality I had when I used to use windows.
Would it be possible to use a Linux Distribution on a USB to repair a windows registry problem, or to use Linux to change some files in the Restore files? If so can anyone recommend a version? I have a laptop running windows Xp that has no cd drive, keyboard, or mouse function due to a registry error. I have a good restore point with the correct registry entries that I could change if it would be possible to boot from a USB version of Linux.
I had a hard time deleting Wubi from Windows 7.To make sure it all got off, I want to manually check and delete anything Ubuntu and/or Wubi related from my registry, since I did a full install
I am comparing jwhois and whois. Specifically, I want to resolve the country and Internet registry source for 150.216.2.252. The correct information is United States and ARIN; however, using the whois command it says it is in Australia and APINC. This is incorrect. I have compiled jwhois; however, it will not work on ip address. It will resolve cnn.com and other websites; however, will not work on ip address such as 150.216.2.252. When I try to use an IP address it says:
jwhois-4.0$ jwhois 207.58.150.216 [Querying whois.arin.net] [Unable to connect to remote host]
How can I get jwhois to work on this ip address or whois to resolve the correct United States information?
I love how in Linux you can link to folders. get Windows XP to change where My Videos, My Music and My Pictures folders are pointing to, to make them act like Linux symlinks?Is there some way to get the same functionality in Windows XP, maybe by editing the Registry.
What should I do to clear WINE state in my system if it's already flooded with installed Win apps and lots of registry configs? Like WINE has just been installed and nothing more. No Windows apps, no configurations were made, clear registry, etc... Is it enough just to delete "~/.wine"?
I just installed ubuntu 10.04 on my spare computer.Everytime I try to install or remove something (through the ubuntu software center) I get to 90% and I get an errormessage. The software seems to be installed, so I'm not sure what the deal is.The programs I tried to install:- chromium- skype- thunderbird- ubuntu restricted extrasThe programs I tried to uninstall:- evolution
I have installed the newest version of Peppermint Ice (Ubuntu derivative) on my Eee PC 701's internal HD and would like to get some more space on the drive (2GB total) by removeing packages like hunspell-en-ca, but synaptic warns me that language-support-writing-en will be removed. How can I force removal of this and similar packages like myspell-en-au, without uninstalling English language support?
I've been having problems with AWN's shiny switcher (the desktop switcher app for AWN). On startup it often, but not always, appears as two identical switchers side by side. After changing any of the preferences of the switcher it returns to normal. After restarting the problem continues. I have tried complete removal of the program, deleting any files or folders that look like they have anything to do with AWN settings, and restarting. But after reinstalling it seems that all the settings stay the same. Where exactly are AWN settings saved, specifically the settings for applets? I will try to post a screen-shot of how the applet appears when I restart later.
I have recently installed what I thought was going to be Ubuntu client on to my laptop but it turned out to be server 10.04. I kept meaning to uninstall it and install the client version but have left it so long that I have forgotten the username and password. Is there any way around this and how do I go about uninstalling the server edition to install the client?
I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 with 160GB HD dual booting 11.04 and Vista. I have now got VB working to run the two programmes I only need windows for. So my HD has 90GB for Vista and the rest is for 11.04, what is the best way to remove Vista and leave the HD free for Ubuntu only? Do I just back everything up to an external HD and reinstall?? (But I have a few problems get some things to work) So not sure if this is the right option for me or is there another way?
I now run 9.10 but I used to run 9.04. Accidentally made my 9.10 pretty small, and I was basically being lazy and leaving it, but I now want to free up the 80 GB I left on 9.04. Is there any way to just delete the partition, I have all I need from it.
I was in Startup Application Preferences and I was managing the list of startup programs when I accidentally clicked Remove. Now it's gone and I don't know what it was. The very top one, above Certificate and Key Storage.
i was using windows 7 and started to get sick of windows completely, so i installed ubuntu and was dual booting between the two.. somewhere down the line i had made a mistake (can't remember exactly what) and instead of properly fixing the issue i decided to re-install ubuntu, but in doing so i now have created another partition and another install of ubuntu, so i have 2 ubuntu's an a windows 7. i would like to remove the 2 ubuntus and remove the partitioning to return to just having windows 7 installed and then i intend to install ubuntu studio. i have done some searching on this issue and i am still not entirely sure what needs done and how to do it without messing anything up.
i have read that i need to run fdisk /mbr from a windows command prompt and that this will fix the master boot record and return it to only having the option to boot into windows, but i also read that this can cause problems if the disk has more than 4 partitions (which it does, courtesy of 3 OS's and a couple of storage partitions).
so in summary: remove both ubuntu installations and return the disk to the partitions that were there before i installed ubuntu the first time.
would like to get this sorted out and eventually just get rid of windows altogether. there are a few windows programs that i will miss, but ubuntu studio seems to have most of them covered so after a bit of learning and adapting there will hopefully be no need for the unstable, expensive, non-secure heap of crap that is microsoft windows.
In my previous thread I found out that liquorix kernel wasn't booting properly, so I decided to uninstall it. But then my pc froze and when I restarted it, I had the grub prompt again, only this time the kernel set to boot is 2.6.35-25-generic.
I was using a line device to record compact cassettes to digital (Linear PCM) then I transferred these files to the computer.Due to cassette print-through, there is audible, albeit weak, pre-echo. This is not caused by the recorder since I can hear them playing the cassettes on a deck.So. Does Audacity have a pre-echo removal function, or can a similar result be obtained by applying different effects? Or any 3rd-party plug-ins?
Can I remove the workspaces button from unity-2d? The workspace switcher is super slow in unity-2d, and I don't want to use it (instead, using the ALT+CTRL+Arrows) but I don't want to accidentally click it.
