Ubuntu :: Remove The 'Search And Sort Section' Entirely From The GUI?
Sep 22, 2010
how to remove the 'Search and sort section' entirely from the GUI? I would like to only have the cover view in that whole area with just the library size and the buttons on top. I know you can set the cover view to open in a separate window, but then I have to resize the cover view window to cover that whole area every time I start calibre.
Would like to use Ubuntu Tweak on 10.10 beta. Is it safe to remove everything that its cleaning section finds? Or do I have to look carefully at what it removes? Can I just let it remove everything it finds and not worry that something I have installed will be affected?
You maybe know that VirtualBox has an "immutable" feature for HDD images. I.e. setup the system, if the stuff is in place, you can set the image to IMMUTABLE to prevent any changes to the image. Differences are written to a separated image. So on the next boot you'll see that all the (unintended) changes are gone and the "old" system is up & running again. I run an old SuSE 10.3 on a write-protected SD-IDE-Adapter. Changing and playing with RPMs is a mess due to around 50 changes I had to do to make that work. Is there any option to mount an SD-card as RO and having all the changes written to e.g. /dev/sda3? To make it clear: I thought about something like a RAID-X system, but could not find any description on how to setup a raidtab.
Recently one of the worm is spread in our network & so many unwated files are getting copied on our ubuntu file server like comment.htt, desktop.ini, winfile.exe Now we have clean that worm from our network but few files are remained on ubuntu server as well as in backup folders and i want to search those files and delete it.
I found that "ask search engine" installed as default web search engine instead of google in firefox. Now it's impossible to go back to google search engine as "ask" always remains as default search and no other search engins are shown in the firefox list.Any idea about how to get rid of "ask"? I managed to install another "unofficial google" search plugin but if i click on restore default search engine "ask" will be restored.
After a search I've done, all the matches for the respective query remain highlighted and it's annoying. This happens even after I close the respective file (normal behavior?). How to I remove this?
I'm trying to install parcelite. However I'm having trouble. When I search for parcelite in the add/remove nothing shows. So that means I need the repository right? Well I can't find the repository.I went here [URL].. I want to install this but I don't know how. Since the only way I know how to install things is through add/remove and yum install in terminal.
I have a lot of files in the server with name like checkfile.jsp and in the file has two or three lines with an ip address xxx.xxx.xxx in it. I wish to know if there any command to grep for the i p address and remove itin file but keep the " ", eg "xxx.xxx.xxx"
I was trying to search some package using the add/remove software provided by gnome3.01 in fedora 15 then it turned out to be failed, the error message is an internal system error has occured. here are the detail:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py", line 423, in _do_search for (pkg, inst) in res:
i guess this is an installation issue as i am newish to Linux and got a F14 laptop from a used/refurb store... Anyway it seem i have difficulty with getting GTK running or maybe it is WGET...?
i did manage to install apt-get and was able to run synaptics ... but now whenever i try to run synaptics it flashes the interface and crashes. i tried apt-get search wget and it says invalid operation search. i tried apt cache wget and get a crash box in the upper right corner... i tried apt-get gtk+extra-2.1.2-4.fc14 and it says invalid operation gtk...
All of which is frustrating my attempts to get the GTK interface to J working. Their script uses WGET which i also cannot get.
What options should I use when I'm using the sort command to sort the top 5 CPU processes (ps -eo user,pid,ppid,%cpu,%mem,fname | sort ??? | head -5) showing max to min usage?
We switched from unix to linux and we have an old report that extracted data from a database, output to an ascii file and then sorted the results in the file based on different arguments. The report now blows up when it runs,and I can only guess it is because the options for sort on linux differ slightly from unix.For example, here is one of the commands issued from within the report app that ran on the old unix box:
I will eventually rewrite the report to store the data in a local table, but I can simply adjust the options to suit the requirments of linux. Basically, I need to know if this can be a quick fix for the short term.
I'm trying to find a good desktop search tool. Beagle is dead, Recoll and Strigi are KDE, and Tracker is not many features (can't even search Thunderbird 3). Do I miss something? Is desktop search on Linux dead? Should I use Google Desktop Search instead
The desktop search has stopped working in Gnome.I get a message that says 'Search Service not running' with a button that says 'Start Search Service'.When I click the button nothing happens
for example we search a file for a certain keyword..is there any application available which will enable us to search for a single keyword in all the files within the folder ?i want to search for a keyword in about 1000 files..if i do it manually it will take loads of time..
I can not post to Ubuntu Server section, I choose this section to post about this mysql general problem. I just checking mysql and trying to execute
[Code]...
you know what's the general or the common output? I've not found it yet through google until now. This is my result;
[code]...
but i realize, i never create debian-sys-maint and again, i never create root user until 3 times. Is this some error or missconcept or what? when if we do removing those users, and create 1 user (example: root) is it safe?
In virtualBox I'm running Edubuntu 11.04. Everything worked fine until a couple of days ago, when the top section, containing the close, minimise and maximise buttons, of all windows vanished and don't appear when I re-open them . At the recommendation of TL I ran Code: metacity --replace Which restored the tops while I ran the command but the command never finished and if I stopped the command I lost the tops. Also at TL's recommendation I also ran Code: compiz --replace but that didn't do anything. How to restore bar permanently.
I'm runing UBUNTU 11.04 and new to UBUNTU and LINUX. Everything was working fine for me, but somehow Synaptic Pakage Manager and Software Center are now messed up.When I try to open Synaptic I get this error message:
Code:
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/downloadue.info_repo_dists_natty_all_binary-amd64_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[code]...
I can open the Software Center but it hangs when I click on any of the options or try to do a search.
Trying to add a section in grub to boot a Ubuntu 10.10 from a partition, and can enter all the info OK, but it won't save it. It has an issue with the kernel and ram files not being where configured, but I tell it to save them anyway. When I go back in the section hasn't been saved...??
I'm using an Intel 965 GM graphics chip with the "intel" driver. I'm curious as to why it doesn't seem to be using any of the options that I'm placing under the Device section of xorg.conf. Here's an example:
In my Xorg.0.log file, I get the following message: (WW) intel(0): Option "AccelMethod" is not used Why would it not be allowing me to use options such as this? I know that my driver and video card are compatible with this option, as is indicated in this manual: [URL]
For some reason I have two IDLE icons in my application programming section:
IDLE IDLE(using python-2.6)
Both are the exact same versions, and I'm not sure if I need both. I understand that ubuntu runs on 2.6 so I'm a bit hesitant to just delete one without checking here first.
Code: Reading package lists... Error! E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty-updates_universe_i18n_Translation-en E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. Get this kind of error while trying to update Natty.
I have an error message that I do not understand nor know how to resolve:
E: encountered a section with no Package:header E: Problem with MergeList/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_partner_b inary-i386_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. E: _cache>open() failed, please report.
I hope this is simple for some of you!!! I do not have a clue what this means, I'm pathetic.
I cannot get the update or software center to work now that I am running natty. When I try to update manager it says "E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_bina ry-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened" I assume that the software center has something to do with this too...
Just installed Fedora 12 x86_64 and love it. But just noticed I'm missing all of the section 2 man pages. Is there a package I'm missing that contains these?? I've got all the standard development packages installed already, and works fine. One example is the gettimeofday() call that works fine in my code, but there's no man page for it.
