I already know that I can uninstall Unity if I'm using Gnome-Shell exclusively, but I'm also wondering if it's safe to uninstall Compiz when I'm only using Gnome-Shell, since as far as I know, Gnome-Shell doesn't use Compiz.
I've decided to enable the UFW that comes with Ubuntu just to make my system even more secure (especially after watching a video of a person whose computer actually got infected!), and I've enabled UFW and installed GUFW, but I'm not sure what to do next. When I check the status of the firewall, it says that it is active. What are some rules that I should configure to actually make use of the firewall, since right now I'm assuming it's allowing everything, basically acting like it isn't there.

Do newer Ubuntu releases benefit from multicore processors at boot time?
I have a multi-core processor, so I just thought I'd make use of this tweak. But before I do tweak it, I would like to know whether this tweak still works in 11.10?
I've installed Midori, tried it, and disliked it, so I've uninstalled it. Problem is, I forgot to keep track of what packages Midori installed along with itself, and since I'm trying to get rid of Midori completely, including all of the other extra packages it installed, I'm wondering if anyone happens to know what those packages are. I've installed good ole' Chromium afterwards, and are there any packages that Chromium uses that were installed by Midori as well? If not, what are the extra lib packages and whatnot that Midori installed besides the basic browser itself in order to run?
Thanks, Icedrake
I've added the Midori dev. PPAs, but Midori refuses to install in both Synaptic and USC. Take a look at the screenshot below:
I just installed the Gnome Tweak Tool in order to change my icon theme to Faenza, but it seems to have installed some other program named Caribou, which I think is an onscreen keyboard program, with it. This is absolutely useless for me, and frankly, I hate the fact that it was installed silently and without my permission. When I go to uninstall it, it says that it's part of gnome-shell and requires the un-installation of that as well. What do I do?
I've had a problem with Software Center for a few weeks, where it has just refused to delete a removed PPA from its "All Software" and "Installed Software" drop-down menus. I've tried many suggested solutions, none have worked, so I've finally decided to re-install Software Center if its possible. How do you do this and is it risky to your computer (i.e. will re-installing it cause all sorts of issues)?

Support for various features in gedit
I'm currently creating a website for myself in HTML 5, and I've noticed that in the tutorials I'm watching, Notepad++ has little + or - boxes next to the line number which allow for elements of the website to be collapsible. For example, if I pressed the - box next to the section, it would collapse the entire section, and if I pressed +, it would reappear. Is something like this possible in GEdit, since things are starting to get crowded and it would be extremely helpful if that was possible.
If not, can someone direct me to a text editor that does have it (i.e. an alternative to Notepad++ which has about the same features) and works in Ubuntu?
I used to use the Aurora builds of Firefox, but now I've uninstalled Firefox and gone back to Chromium. I've removed the PPA, but it still shows up under "All Software" in the Ubuntu Software Center, when I click on the arrow to the side of it to display my PPAs. I've checked the Software Sources to see if there's anything leftover, and there's nothing. I use Y PPA Manager, and there's nothing there to remove as well. How do I get rid of it?
I've been trying to find a good screen capturing program, and I've read some great reviews about Kazam, but they've all been with earlier versions of Ubuntu. Is it possible to install Kazam in 11.10? I've tried adding the unstable PPA to Software Sources, then running sudo apt-get Kazam, but no luck.
- I've tried the unstable daily build PPA, as that seemed to be the only one that was supporting Oneiric (it had packages for Oneiric, whereas in the stable daily build PPA, the packages were for Lucid and Maverick). http://launchpad.net/~and471/+archive/kazam-daily-builds
In my opinion, VLC is a much better and much faster player than Totem, and plays everything without having to need all of the extra junk Totem comes with. My question is, can you safely uninstall Totem? I'm trying to reduce the amount of junk on my computer, and since I'm using VLC for all my movie/video objectives, I see no need to have Totem.
Thanks
I've been trying to find an alternative to Banshee, and right now, I'm using Clementine. It really is a great music player, but it just has too many features for me. All I listen to are soundtracks from movies and games and such, so all of the extra radio, podcast, lyric finding, etc. stuff is useless.
I've seen that Audacious is an extremely light and fast music player that seems to be simple. I'm going to try it out, but I need one essential thing: A metadata editor built in. I love the fact that Banshee and Clementine both have one, so it makes it extremely easy to edit my music. Does Audacious have a metadata editor, or no? I've been trying to find information on their website, but it seems as if their website is broken.
I've looked in the Software Center, and there is an entry under Accessories for Ubuntu One, but I'm not sure if that'll actually remove Ubuntu One. On Ubuntu One's website, it gives a bunch of terminal commands to remove it, so should I use those or use the entry in the Software Center?
The reason I'm trying to remove Ubuntu One is because its sync doesn't work with my comp for some reason. It keeps saying that its trying to sync files in the client window, then it stops with the red X next to it after a few seconds. If Ubuntu One is this useless, I see no use for having it on my computer.
Whenever I download something in Chrome, the little icon in the center of the download that shows the file type icon, around which there's the download progress bar, isn't displayed. If that sounds confusing, take a look at this screenshot:
I decided to try out Google Chrome and see if it was any different from Chromium, but now I can't figure out how to uninstall it.
That's what I have installed. How to get rid of it is the question.
There was an option under Bluetooth preferences in 11.04 to easily hide the icon, but in 11.10, there's a little bar near the top right corner called Visibility. I'm assuming that's what hides or shows the Bluetooth icon, but I can't move it. Everything is locked in my Bluetooth preferences, and I see no unlock button.
Any ideas?
I'm wondering how it's possible to remove the little mail indicator applet in the global menu. I've uninstalled all the programs that use it, like Thunderbird, Empathy, and Gwibber, since I don't use any of them, but the icon is still there.
Any ideas?
