When installing an application it creates few files/folder, mostly in HOME ~/.config and ~/.local/share/.
After removing the application these files do not automatically get removed. So, is there a way to remove all the files related to a removed app?
PS: How to remove configuration files completely <- I've read this question but it suggests removing the files one-by-one for each application. I am looking for a way to remove all these files in one step, if there's any.
I downloaded the game Trine from the Humble frozenbyte Bundle and installed it on Ubuntu 10.10 but for some reason it fails to launch.
I downloaded the Trine.32.run file and made it executable and then double clicked it and a installation dialogue opened and the game seemed to install properly, I got game launcher on Desktop and Application Menu but when I click on the game launcher, a window opens and when I click on Launch Nothing happens.
Here is the error I get when I lanch it from command line by going into the installation directory...
gaurav@gaurav-HCL-ME-Laptop:~/trine$ ./trine-launcher32
./trine-launcher32: ./lib32/libxml2.so.2: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libglade-2.0.so.0)
Got signal 11 at (nil) from (nil)
./trine-bin32[0x8078188]

Aborted
This very same issue occurs on two of my computers.
UPDATE :
Now when I launch the game a message pops up saying
Error compiling shaders. Make sure your GPU supports Shader Model 3.0. Additional details may be found in the log.
Here is what game log in ~/.frozenbyte/trine/logs/log.txt states...

PS: I contacted the Humble Bundle support but they didn't have any clue about the issue, so my only hope is to get some help from ubuntu community.
I am Dual Booting Maverick with Natty. I want to know which partition has Grub installed.
I want to make sure that grub is installed in the maverick partition not in natty, so that when I remove the natty partition, I don't have booting problem in the absence of grub.
On maverick there is no menu.list file in /boot/grub but natty has one.

Today when I opened Empathy on Ubuntu 10.10 I got this unusual error box. I have never got this warning about an untrusted connection before.
What should I do? Is it a security risk if I continue without a second guess?

I have a Gamepad which is not working, I say "not working" because I was playing Urban Terror and the game was not responding to the gamepad button presses. How do I get the gamepad to work?
I tried it in some other games Torcs, SuperTuxKark, Enemy Territory.... but, Same, there is no response to any of the gamepad button presses.

I want to install the latest version of Eclipse but the Ubuntu Software Centre contains an older version.
Is there a PPA or some other way to install latest Eclipse? Please describe the steps for full installation.
I can see the data transferred (internet Download/Upload) in the current session from the System Monitor. But I want something that keeps track of all the data transferred and I can see how much data was used in a month or two. Preferably a GUI tool.
I have a desktop and a laptop with almost the same files within their home directory. Sometimes I make changes in ~/Music, ~/Documents, etc. But these changes of course don't affect the other machine.
So I want to have a solution to sync all the data in the home folders of my laptop and desktop. I can connect them with cross cable once in a while.
I don't want to use Ubuntu One or Dropbox (the files are big, and there's no need to use the Internet when both are on a home network).
I have installed vsftp on Ubuntu 10.10. I want to give the user FTP login privilage .
I have installed wordpress on my ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition and I am trying to install plugin from the browser (I know I can drop it to the wp-content/plugin but I want to do it via the web browser using FTP) I get this screen when I am trying to set auto update or install a plugin from web browser.
I provide the hostname 127.0.0.1 and Username and password the ones that I use to login to wordpress. I get the error
Username/password Incorrect and cannot connect to 127.0.0.1:20
I think i'll have to grant a user with ftp password but I dont know how. I have already installed vsftp but when I try "ftp 127.0.0.1" I get -

How to get the source code of a project from launchpad
When I am watching videos on youtube and toggle the screen to full screen or switch back from full screen to normal mode, the video stops and sometimes stops loading or starts loading from the start again. I installed ubuntu-restricted-extras so I have flash installed.
I bought new laptop and I was told that my touch pad is 'Multi Gesture Touchpad'. I'd like to zoom, scroll with two fingers and perform three finger operations.
How do I test the multi gesture capabilities of my touchpad?
When I close the lid of my laptop and open it after some time I am greeted with a message "Failed to suspend". When I tried to manually suspend/hibernate, I saw these options are not available there at all. Of course, they did exist when I did the fresh installation but I can't see them anymore.
I am totally pissed off with this. Please help.
What software options are there for taking videos and or pictures within Ubuntu (Much like Apple's Photobooth)?
Please limit one software solution per answer and include key features/description of the software
cheese records at painful fps. video recording is really slow in cheese almost unusable. How can I increase the fps for cheese.
I have HCL laptop with built in 1.3 MP camera 2.47 GHz i3 processor with 2 GB RAM. running maverick 32 bit.
I installed camorama from software centre which has fine video (fps), but I can't seem to use it due to some error. So I doubt there is something to be tweaked with cheese itself.
In the picture above see the icon of magnifying glass. I didn't have this icon before, It is indexing my files. Any idea what is it, I have maverick installed on 2 machines and both of them now have this icon.
When I click on it and search for some file, on the title bar it says "Tracker Search Tool"
It is really cool to search for files but I would like to know that if it is one of the default app, even though it was not there before nor I installed any app like this.
Ubuntu-Tweak doesn't have the option Startup which includes

Please help, I can't uncheck "Manage Windows Without Launcher" of the docky.
