Ubuntu :: Removing Empathy Sets Up Autoremove To Remove Almost Everything
Mar 7, 2011
Basically, after installing gnome-desktop-environment, and then removing empathy (as I don't like it, and don't want to see it in my menu, don't want it taking up space, etc) results in all of the below packages queued for autoremove:
Code:
python-libproxy python-evolution ekiga espeak libevolution libgnome-bluetooth8 gnome-js-common gcalctool telepathy-logger python-gnomedesktop libopal3.6.8 gnome-accessibility gnome-backgrounds libpth20 libfolks0 libbrlapi0.5 gir1.0-json-glib-1.0 gnome-mahjongg telepathy-gabble gnome-search-tool aisleriot gtali

why autoremove wants to remove the following files:
bind9 bind9utils resolvconf
I cannot find the rationale why dpkg wants to remove these files. Is there a way to find out?

From the terminal I got this message: The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libqt4-opengl freemat freemat-help libgfortran3 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libmikmod2 libqt4-svg libblas3gf libamd2.2.0 libsdl-mixer1.2 libumfpack5.4.0 freemat-data libsmpeg0 Ok, what I really don't understand is that why is it that Freemat, my most important software, is listed as "no longer required"? Of course if I use sudo apt-get autoremove will remove all the mentioned packages including Freemat.

Every time I set my status in empathy to "invisible" it changes it to "busy". If i click on invisible once it changes it to invisible, if I click on it a second time it will change it to invisible. Is there a way to make empathy make my status invisible or is empathy not capable of it?

I like Empathy, but when I quit the program the chat-bubble in the top-right corner (on the indicator/logout applet) stays. Is this a bug, or is there a way to fix this?

I did a clean install of Natty 32 bit on my desktop last Saturday. Now the update manager wants to remove empathy via a partial upgrade. I waited for a day to see if the issue would be resolved, but it isn't. I cannot see the changelog either. On running
Code:
sudo apt-get update
I get the following text.
Code:

I need to remove libgl1-mesa-swx11, as after I installed it, it has slowed down all my graphics. However, in SPM, it says in order to remove it, I have to remove most of my system, it seems as though it's "dependencies" involve everything to do with graphics, which I was running fine and much better before. So, how do I remove this package without removing dependencies?

I sudo apt-get removed Firefox from my system in favor of Google Chrome. However, Ubuntu still prompts me to upgrade Firefox. How do I stop that? Also, whenever I click on HTML files, Firefox is still the one that loads by default. How can that be if I've sudo apt-get removed it? And Firefox is still in my Applications->Internet menu... So, was my sudo apt-get remove successful?

I'm on 9.10 x64 gnome.I hate firefox and want to remove it because I use chrome,but when I try to remove it it removes the java plugin.And when I try to install the java plugin alone, it installs firefox. Why are these dependencies of each other? Is there any way that I can remove ff without removing java?

I have no need for libwine-print, nor cups. I noticed this issue while trying to remove cups. It's a box with no printer and will never see one, so I see no need to have it. I know it's not using much space, but I don't want it if I don't need it. Is there a way to remove libwine-print without removing wine?
Code:
Shelly:~# dpkg -P cups cups-bsd cups-client cups-common cups-driver-gutenprint cupsddk cupsddk-drivers

I've installed Debian GNU/Linux, from a Testing NetInstall ISO, then after setting up the system, I've installed the KDE desktop.Well, I like to have a system with the applications I want, not the applications that the system wants for me, I mean, that's the point of GNU/Linux, isn't?
Thus I want to remove some applications from KDE, let's say KWrite. I know it's a good text editor, but Kate is way better, at least for me, and... I should have the authority to decide what applications I want on my system, I think you got the point.So I installed Kate, and when I try to remove KWrite, APT asks me to remove nothing but this applications: kde-baseapps kde-plasma-desktop.
I don't understand why do KDE forces me to get rid of the entire desktop... when I'm just trying to remove a single application, and a replacement it's already installed.

Is there any way to find out what packages were removed by the last 'sudo apt-get autoremove' command? Is that info in a log somewhere? I am setting up a recently installed minimal install and my last autoremove seemed to remove some dependencies which has in turn killed my network connections, wired and wireless.

I recently upgraded my Debian box from Jessie to Stretch. After this, apt informed me that I should issue "apt-get autoremove," however the package list to be effected was large and contained some important packages (xorg being just one example). Most of the packages are qt4 related, and I at first assumed qt5 equivalents had replaced them, but seeing network-manager and xorg in the list made me pause.

I want to remove to help reduce vulnerabilities..
would 'apt-get autoremove make' be the proper command? It wants to remove about 30 or so packages. I don't want to lose anything i might need to run apache2 and similar packages (self-configured web server). Running Lenny.

what i did was, remove evolution mail from synaptic, what i wanted to do was just remove the indicator applet from the task bar. i read a bunch of bad stuff about removing evolution from synaptic vs just removing the applet.
im worried. did i break anything or put my security at risk. after, i used a command (older) (sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop)to install ubuntu desktop. because i thought that it would fix evolution. then i went to synaptic and installed a package called evolution. i rechecked evolution in applications menu. however, i notice that i have both a checkable evolution and two evolution icons. nothing 'seems' broken. im not sure if it ever was. and evolution calender pops up as normal, as does the the installed plain evolution. they both seems to be an exact copy of the other.
all i really wanted to do was remove the indicator applet. did i make a serious mistake. since ive had ubuntu, ive reformatted a lot because i was worried i made a mistake of some kind. however now im into the more "make a mistake and fix it stage' as im pretty happy with my current desktop and have worked hard to customize it. the command, sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages removed the mail icon. i still am worried that i broke something, or put my security at risk. also, now i have two mail icons. evolution mail and calendar, and another just called evolution.

I recently installed virtual box on debian and after it had finished my terminal informed me that I could remove some "unnecessary" software by use of sudo apt-get autoremove. When I did this, some of the icons on the desktop changed and all of the icons in the drop down menu on the bar at the top of the screen also changed to ordinary folder symbols. The theme that I was using also went away. I restarted the computer and it booted back into a shell prompt with no GUI. I tried to get back to the GUI using alt+f7 but it didn't seem to exist

apt-get suggetsed I should remove some packages I was no longer using. I've read the threads that explain this, but unfortunately I did that just now, not when I actually ran the damn command. I must say, however, that there were lots of things I wasn't actually using, so it was useful in a way. But there is a problem:
I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and to get my sound keys working (the mute, volume up and volume down keys) I had to go to Settings-->Regional & Accessibility-->Keyboard Layout and there in Keyboard model I chose the option Dell Laptop/Notebook Inspiron 6xxx/8xxx. I know that's not exactly my model, but that made my sound keys work fine. Well, since I did the autoremove thing, that stopped working. I haven't got a clue what library was being used to get the sound keys working.

I had installed Debian lenny just two dys back. i am using gnome-desktop. When using apt-get i tried apt-get autoremove and the result was that so many packages were removed for eg. nautilus, gnome-games, gnome-background etc. Then i tried to stop the process in between and installed the packages again (with apt-get install). Now after rebooting i am getting only the desktop without any icons and no commands are working. I can still go to single user mode. How can i get my desktop with all functions.

I've been using Debian for around ~3 months now, though before that a certain derivative thereof since the start of the year.Long story short is that I was installing packages, as you do, when apt-get prompted that I run apt-get autoremove, as it does. So, trusting the computer, I do, not bothering to read the chunk of packages that it recommends to remove. Life goes on, until a reboot reveals that there are issues.Short story shorter, a quick cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep remove spits out the following:
root@kubrick:~# cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep remove
2011-09-05 22:04:09 startup packages remove
2011-09-05 22:04:09 remove gnome-user-share 2.30.1-1 2.30.1-1

I know a bunch of commands and I am comfortable using the terminal, I even set a powerpc server but I can't figure out how to remove epiphany on this new computer I'm setting up. I didn't install anything with tasksel. I installed gnome and xorg afterwards... I load it up and 'startx' just fine. then I check around for the programs that were installed. I lik'em gimp, lot's of utilities. gedit. anyway I find epiphany, which I have already established that I dislike, I immediately go to the root terminal (another nice program that comes with gnome) and type apt-get remove epiphany-browser-data the output says it will be deleting gnome... however I have researched and found these are simpy meta packages that don't really matter.... however under the section that states all the packages that will be removed by autoremove there is a huge list... I doubt these packages are safe to remove. how to remove epiphany without removing a huge amount of probably needed software

These should be my last pleas for help with regard to Fedora 13. I've been unable to turn off the notifications that appear in the top right corner, despite a decent amount of searching on google. I can't remove any notifications package without removing a bunch of important software along with it. Also, F13 refuses to "Safely Remove" either of my external disks. I have to yank out the usb cord, touching wood each time.

When I reboot my computer, my iptables sets itself to a policy of dropping everything, adds a bunch of rules, and a bunch of extra chains, to the effect that (due to everything being set to drop) I can't do anything. I know how to fix this from the terminal to the extent of just clearing most of it and changing the policies back. However, what I don't know is how to make it stay that way. I have a file with the iptables rules I want, so every time I start up I just run iptables-restore, but I don't want to have to do this every time, particularly since others use this computer who do not have admin privileges.
I've tried changing /etc/network/interfaces with the added code pre-up iptables-restore < (etc) But that never does anything, or if it does it just makes stuff work even less. I've tried changing init.d before based on similar info elsewhere, still no luck. I don't know how to get it to stick, and I don't know why it is defaulting to the rules it is, other than that I used a firewall app a while ago and afterwards this was the result, for which I uninstalled that app after no success using it to reverse the damage.
