I want to remove Firefox (with sudo apt-get purge firefox*) but without installing the Epiphany browser. How can I do this?
I want to remove Firefox because I want to use Google Chrome as my default and only web browser.
As Linux continues to grow and develop, and the more we use Linux, the greater the threat from viruses.
We also know that a virus/threat in Linux (if any) would have difficulty running or spreading when it is running as a normal user, but it is a different story if the virus/threat is running as the root user.
An example of this danger would be if a virus is tucked inside a PPA (intentionally or unintentionally) or if an application has an intentionally planted backdoor (e.g., pidgin could secretly send passwords to a particular address).
If we add software from a Launchpad PPA, is there any guarantee that software is from free viruses/backdoor threats?
I installed gstreamer-vaapi from this PPA :
ppa:guido-iodice/video
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-vaapi libgstvaapi-x11-0 libgstvaapi0
but, if I run totem movie player (via terminal) it's show this error :
(totem:3383): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: g_object_set_valist: object class 'TotemScrsaver' has no property named 'reason'
(totem:3383): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: value "10752000" of type 'guint' is invalid or out of range for property 'connection-speed' of type 'guint' libva: libva version 0.31.0 Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0 libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so libva error: /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so init failed libva: va_openDriver() returns -1 Segmentation fault
It's seems I get wrong nvidia_drv_video.so. What should I do?
If I uninstall it, it's work fine, but I want to use this vaapi backend for my video decoding via GPU while I run gstreamer based apps.
PS :
I use Ubuntu Lucid 64bit and MSI CR 400 Notebook :
- Intel Core 2 Duo
- Nvidia 8200M
I use Google Earth and Skype since version Jaunty, and so far emulation Qt theme for GNOME runs perfectly, but when I use the default theme Ambiance and Radiance in Maverick, both applications look bad. Qt theme is not integrated with GTK. Especially for the Equinox engine (it's cool theme).
To outsmart, I stole the Lucid's Ambiance and Radiance Standard Themes for use in the Maverick.
Is any another solution for the default theme Ambiance and Radiance in Maverick run perfectly on both the application? And especially for the theme Equinox.
I wonder, why Kubuntu team does not use Kubuntu Icon in KDE Start menu just like Ubuntu?
What is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit Ubuntu? I've heard the 64-bit platform performs better and can detect more than 4GB of RAM. Also, while some apps haven't ported to 64-bit yet, ia32-libs lets a 64-bit machine run them.
If so, why not promote 64-bit over 32-bit?
Continuing my question in Install Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
I have tried Kubuntu (KDE), and it was very cool as cool as Ubuntu (GNOME). but there is little problem with its user interface when we start Java application (LimeWire, Netbeans, Eclipse). User interface changed to Metal, (which I think is a bit old school).
Can we run it with Qt like UI?, such as when we start Java application in Gnome (run with GTK like UI/emulation GTK like UI)?
I hear there is a class for Java in order to make Java application UI like Qt, called the Qt/Jambi bindings for Java. How can we integrate it in KDE when we start Java application?
My other question is if not wrong, OpenOffice was built in Java,so why OpenOffice can run with Qt like UI in KDE?
I want to make a deb file from a Windows application which will be run with wine. how do I make it?
As an example, I use Ubuntu Christian Edition and I find the application Virtual Rosary is installed by default.
My plan: my application will be put in the folder /opt/*application-name*, and for the 'launcher.desktop', the Exec argument will bi filled with :
Exec= wine /opt/application-name/ application-name.exe
I want to upgrade my Ubuntu Lucid to Kubuntu Maverick (with a fresh install of course). I want to try KDE, but I have heard there are slight issues with the native Qt applications compared to the GTK application equivalents - such as nvidia-settings, Gimp, Ubuntu Software Centre, and especially th eSynaptic package manager (which in detail showed the administration package / KPackageKit is not powerful yet than synaptic)
I believe we can have run GTK+ applications in KDE, but GTK+ applications do not blend with the KDE desktop. Also Java does not provide a GUI for KDE/Qt.
Should I install Kubuntu (KDE/Qt) or stay with ubuntu (GNOME/GTK +)?
I want to change the theme of GRUB using BURG theme,is it possible?
I do not want to install BURG in my MBR, just change the default 'GRUB' theme with BURG theme?
or stealing the BURG theme and then put it in the GRUB.
I want to remaster ubuntu Lucid in maverick, is it possible? Is there a conflict?
For example when I do the chroot, or to update the repository in the new ubuntu environment, (from the "iso" which I extract), or something else..
and is it possible to remaster Ubuntu 32bit from 64bit machine?
Is there any PPA for ralink 3090 64bit?
I have just added this markus-tisoft PPA but I have not found any driver for ralink 3090 yet in Synaptic Package Manager. (it is only available for 32bit only).
For now, I have downloaded manually. but I hope this PPA available for 64bit arch so I can get it updated automatically.
Or any PPA for this 64bit?
