How do I go about installing not only the Gnome-classic fallback but also installing the regular Gnome, and Gnome-classic-noeffects?
I'm running 12.04 - I installed kubuntu to try it out and realized that with all the bloatware applications that I didn't want it anymore - I was able to uninstall the kubuntu-desktop but there are still packages left over... How can I make sure I get rid of EVERYTHING Kubuntu installed - even the kde leftovers?
Here's some of what's left when I ran sudo apt-get autoremove kde then "tab" it displayed this:
kdeaccessibility kdepim-runtime kdeadmin
kde-runtime kde-baseapps kde-runtime-data kde-baseapps-bin kdesdk-dolphin-plugins kde-baseapps-data kde-style-oxygen kde-config-cron kdesudo kde-config-gtk kdeutils kde-config-touchpad kde-wallpapers kdegames-card-data kde-wallpapers-default kdegames-card-data-extra kde-window-manager kde-icons-mono
kde-window-manager-common kdelibs5-data kde-workspace kdelibs5-plugins kde-workspace-bin kdelibs-bin
kde-workspace-data kdemultimedia-kio-plugins
kde-workspace-data-extras kdenetwork
kde-workspace-kgreet-plugins kdenetwork-filesharing
kde-zeroconf kdepasswd kdf kdepim-kresources
kdm kdepimlibs-kio-plugins kdoctools
Those are all installed by kubuntu... correct? I just want to go back to my Ubuntu 12.04LTS with Gnome2-classic and without all the kubuntu extras.
I started it off by just removing unnecessary apps that came with kubuntu-full - then realized I didnt want the whole thing at all and uninstalled kubuntu-full but it still says I have these as well:
alex@griever:~$ sudo apt-get --purge remove kubuntu- kubuntu-debug-installer kubuntu-netbook-default-settings kubuntu-default-settings kubuntu-notification-helper kubuntu-firefox-installer kubuntu-web-shortcuts

How do I reset GNOME to the defaults?
Yesterday I had an issue with my 12.04 - https://askubuntu.com/questions/121957/12-04-does-anyone-know-how-to-fix-this-all-of-a-sudden-my-terminal-shortcut-d#comment145297_121957
and some configuration causing an issue with metacity making it crash - I was walked through the problem, and found out that by creating another user account and logging onto it - the problem wasn't present anymore on that account but still was present on my old account.
So my question is - was the problem just something in my old Home folder? - also - can most issues that occur like this be solved by making a new account and backing up the "Home" folder?
I've been using Unetbootin but it occasionally fails to create a bootable usb the way I need it to, especially with the newer versions.
Is there a way I could extract the iso myself?
I stopped dual booting and I don't want to have to choose the OS any more. I want to boot into Ubuntu 12.04 directly without seeing the GRUB menu.
How can I achieve that?
I have Ubuntu dual booting Windows 7 and after repairing GRUB and a few Windows Updates, now Windows 7 just goes to blue screen upon loading from GRUB then restarts. Is there any way to fix this?
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 32bit.
EDIT: For something I can't get them to cooperate with each other. I've reinstalled GRUB so many times it hurts, and every time I do, I can't run Win 7 from the GRUB loader - it loads to logo then restarts.. And when I run bootrec.exe /fixmbr, bootrec.exe /fixboot and bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd I can load Windows but then GRUB goes away...
I have Ubuntu 12.04 as my main OS, but have been thinking of doing some dualbooting, would making a partition specifically for Windows and installing it to that partition mess with GRUB? or Would it be fine?
I've tried to use UNetBootin for it but Sometimes UNetBootin doesn't exactly work right and I run into issues with the BIOS recognizing the bootloader on the USB.
Can anyone recommend programs for this?
I'm thinking about making a partition to test out Mac OS X on my own computer hard drive and don't think it would suffice if I used it through VM. So, how would I go about returning to single boot Ubuntu after I decided I didn't want the Mac Partition any more?
I already know how to make the partition and work Gparted, but I have a few basic questions as well.
How would I go about editing grub to do this? I have "StartupManager" installed but I'm not sure how do all this from the GRUB wiki in 12.04...
EDIT 1 What am I to edit here: 
I've tried using sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/files/ and even going myself as root doing the same, and recreating the folder its still there, it was from a pendrive at one point and I deleted it but now I cant get it to delete permanently.
Anyone have any suggestions?
I'm trying to reformat an Eee PC that only has external USB slots, no disc drive, and I can't find out how to install anything else on it as far as OS' go because it won't load from USB - The BIOS menu doesn't show any way to boot from USB.
Anyone able to help me?
I know this question isn't specifically for installing Ubuntu, but its more than anything a general question to installing another OS so maybe you could still
Do you think that me using 512MB of ram for my VM Base memory with Windows XP when I am running 2.7GB of ram is okay? or should I return it back to 192MB?
I'm having to get a copy of Windows XP from the nether regions of the net and want to run it through a virtualbox. Would that be safer as to a WINE installation? Safer as in "not possible to get any infections?"
Any help is appreciated.
(The only reason I'm getting a copy off the net is because I can't find my old copy of the XP disc - that's why I'm going this route)
EDIT $3 Looks like it already saved my swap even without editing fstab. take a look:
EDIT #2: Alright - rebooted and this is what I got, let me know if I did everything correctly:
EDIT #1: Alright, recreated swap, let me know if I did it right, also, I right clicked and hit "swapon" as well - here's what I got:
I'm not sure what all filesystems my Harddrive was supposed to have after Linux build them, but something I did the other day, until recently, the Unallocated partition you see before you said "Unknown" and had a red circle by it. It had just appeared there after I did something on accident with another program trying to format my other partition
Is there any way that I can run this program on my Linux system without possibly getting a virus?
Ever since I updated to Ubuntu 11.10 my computer has been getting hot and seems like the resources have been more hogged causing my computer to constantly sound like its doing something intense.
I've disabled Unity and am using Gnome session fallback.
Is there anyone else with this issue?
- Best way to explain this is that I feel as if 11.10 is using a LOT more resources than 11.04 did - and I would like to know of a way to make it run smoother and less of a hog
I recently installed gnome-fallback-session because it is a lot like ubuntu classic for 11.10 - my question is, am I able to go back to using the standard Ubuntu GUI that came out of box as well as gnome? or am I permanently stuck with Gnome?

How do I install fonts?
This has been itching at me for a while and It would be great to know if theres a way to do this because, I have lots of fonts (ttf) I want to install but dont wanna do it 1 at a time.
I heard that Ext4 Was more stable in these conditions, but how can I be sure that my files didn't get corrupted in the process? I heard that because of Ext4 journaling file that the files aren't very easy to get corrupted as compared to NTFS (which is what I switched from).
Anyone to help me out with any of this?
I currently have a corrupted NTFS external drive that I want to re-format in a format that can be read by Linux and Windows - suggestions?
I want to reformat my 1TB NTFS drive to a format that can be read by Linux and Windows but won't cause freezing issues when copying files to and from it on Ubuntu.
I found a format that I want to format the drive in called Ext2 but how would I go about doing so?
