Ubuntu :: When I Install Apps, It Tells Me To Use Apt-get Autoremove To Remove Unused Packages?
Oct 27, 2010
i'm using ubuntu 10.10.
1. why is it that when i add a ppa to the repository and then i type sudo apt-get update,it has an error for that ppa but i can still install it? deluge is the main one that does that.
2. when i install apps, it tells me to use apt-get autoremove to remove unused packages but i need some of them like java etc. how do i take some apps off of the autoremove list?

I haven't tried any random password patterns yet but I have tried knoppix because of a suggestion and it didn't work. I am useing knoppix as my OS not from CD or DVD. I would like to add and remove unused or needed apps. My linux language is week for the time being so I use the Software Center option from the Preferences option from the Main Menue.When I click on the remove icon a screen comes up asking for the Authentication Password and I don't have it, I as can not change the time on the desktop because it says that I am not the owner. How do I reset all the passwords and regain complete control of my system

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.

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.

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?

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

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 have Ubuntu Meerkat (10.10) running on an Inspiron E1505. I have it setup for dual boot with Vista. I installed Kubuntu on top of Ubuntu and now have a blue Kubuntu system loading screen where it used to be purple.
I've installed a lot of programs, most unnecessarily, so I'd now like to get rid of ALL of the unnecessary programs and associated packages or dependencies. I'd also like to get rid of KDE, and any Ubuntu packages I never use.
Is there a quick and relatively easy way to do this?

How can I remove an unused desktop? I am currently running Unity 2D. I can't run 3D, so I would like to remove it. Also, I want to try out other desktops so I will want to remove those (or Unity, depending on which I like better). I read somewhere that just doing sudo apt-get remove kde won't actually remove the entire desktop, so what else should I do.

I've been running fedora 12 for a few weeks now and I was wondering how to clean up all of my unused files. I have accumulated quite a bit of software in the form of updates and downloaded packages since starting and I can only assume these are going to continue to build. I have rpmorphan and it lists all of the programs I'm not using but I'm wary of it because it lists WINE as one I haven't used but I use it everyday to play a game. I'm afraid I'll erase something I need, but I'd like to keep my system as clean and slimmed down as possible.

I was messing around trying to be able to download minecraft to my computer (it's very confusing for Linux, and I know nothing about this system!) Now when I try to install apps in the Software Center I get this error:
There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 961, in simulate
trans.unauthenticated = self._simulate_helper(trans)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 1085, in _simulate_helper
return depends, self._cache.required_download,
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 226, in required_download
pm.get_archives(fetcher, self._list, self._records)
SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate file for the sun-java6-jre package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.
I've seen a solution that seemed to work for someone else but when I go into the Terminal and type in the commands it asks for my sudo password and I have no idea what that means/is because I never set any kind of password like that.

I've been installing and uninstalling some stuff, and I would like to know if there was a way to see if I have yet to uninstall some unneeded packages. There was a way of doing this on Ubuntu via the Computer Janitor. Is there any way of doing that on Fedora 12?

As usual I was notified that there was an update available via the Update Manager which I duly accepted.I was then confronted with a popup which advised that there was a Distribution Upgrade and that it was to be a partial upgrade.
Finding that I would not go away I accepted the data finding that 9 packages were made available and 33 unused ones were to be deleted. As this is my first experience of this is it something I need worry about and if so what should I do about it?

According to System Monitor, my hard disc has a total size of 107.2 GiB, of which 6.7 GiB is "Free" and 1.3 GiB is available. I'm not sure if this is normal or not, though I know at least part of this wasted space is taken up by at least two failed attempts at creating Swap Files. Ubuntu says I have no Swap space whatsoever, so is there any way I can delete all these failed and unconnected Swap Files so that I could free up some spacend hopefully create one working one

I'm trying to Dual-boot Windows and Ubuntu. I have Ubuntu now. I'm trying to remove space from the Ubuntu partition(Active) but, it won't allow me to remove space from active partitions. I have 11GB Free according to GParted, yet during the installation it displays only 8MB Free. Oh, and I'm trying to install Windows XP through VirtualBox. Is that possible through the install CD? I've been searching and haven't seen anything about it.

Running # lsmod | grep -e " 0 " | wc on one of my servers running CentOS 5.5 (64 bits) reports me 32 unused modules, I mean, modules with 0 references. Am I wrong interpreting these results? If I'm not, how can I automatically clean those unused modules (i.e not manually running modprobe -r ). Some years ago there used to be a daemon called kerneld who was in charge of that task, right? What's CentOS new equivalent?

I have a a few questions about Testing's update manager. When I go to the update manager I get a message saying "Do you want to perform a safe-upgrade, which does not remove packages or install new ones"? Will my entire system ever eventually get upgraded if I only ever do safe-upgrades? Or is there a time and a place to do non-safe upgrades? I did a non-safe upgrade a few days ago and all it did was mess with a bunch of OpenOffice packages.
Why are only certain packages selected by default when doing a non safe upgrade? Why is it that whenever I do a non-safe upgrade when it's done applying the updates the same packages I just installed are listed as available updates? Also, I used this website to build my sources.list and there apparently is some sort of "fatal error" with one of the repositories I selected. Is there a text file somewhere I can go to see a readout of apt-get bug reports?

When one installs an application,it brings in other stuff too as dependencies.
When this application is removed,will zypper remove the dependencies that came with it and are not needed by other installed packages?
Is it possible to check before and after removal?

When I try to install uzbl, a minimalistic web browser with apt-get, apt tries to remove all xserver-xorg packages that can't possibly have any relations to the uzbl package - since it's only a web browser.

Im having an issue with sudo aptitude install. If i attempt to install anything, it says it will remove all of the packages below. On the other hand,if i use the Synaptic Package Manager, it doesn't remove any packages what is going on here? Any ideas? I have added some karmic repositories, but i dont think that should do anything?
