@ppr obviously, because you are telling apt to remove recommends and suggestions of all packages. Do apt-get -o APT::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant=false -o APT::AutoRemove::SuggestsImportant=false autoremove gnome with the gnome package installed
@TGMCians Very, very likely your machine is either i386 or amd64. Probably amd64. You'll find out very quickly (when you try to boot from the CD/USB/etc.) if it isn't amd64.
Guys, I just managed to get X/KDE catatonic when running compiz (bad move), while trying to answer that compiz question. I really need to stop being helpful. Anyway, it made me wonder - is there any way to restart the X server from the command line? I can do it from the KDE menu, but that was not responding.
@FaheemMitha Well, everyone here seems to know that yeah, it's some dbus command, without actually having any clue what the dbus command is. So its a dbus command known to nobody :-P
If you've got freedesktop-compliant session manager, you can use DBus to invoke restart from inside the X session. The command goes:
dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal --type=method_call \
--print-reply /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer \
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemP...
Yeah. It was definitely off by default on the new box I installed Saturday, with testing. I used to always turn it off, because my main use of c-a-backspace was hitting it by mistake...
For a while, control-alt-backspace didn't work at all—it was broken in Xorg. They added it back eventually, but I thought everyone defaulted it to off now.
Or maybe that was just control-alt-kp* that was broken (I think that was the key, the one the breaks a keyboard/mouse grab)

Seems to be a bit of good news for GNOME 3.10 + gnome-shell's apparent memory leakage | - I upgraded to gnome-shell 3.10 and it seems that the worst of the leakage is gone. The shell was usable after two days continued log-in
I found, that gnome-shell lose some windows.
I see it in two ways:
1. gnome-terminal: after a restart - with ALT+F2 -> r or kill -HUP $(pgrep gnome-shell|head -n1) or resume from suspend - a terminal windows can not be opened any more, but is listed in ALT+TAB list (I add a video)
2. remmina: I opened a connection and sometimes the window is just not to see any more - also not in ALT+TAB. But it must there, when I open a new connection in a other group I get a new window. When I open a new connection in the same group as the lost windows (it get normally attached as a new tab to the window) it get a connect to the server, but not the window. I can see on the terminal server and netstat, that the connection is established.

Oh, BTW, as a result of my fighting with pulseaudio, I owe the site a self-answered question on how to configure surround sound over HDMI w/ pulseaudio
I know, I can specify custom time format for ls like this
ls -lAF --time-style="+ %Y-%b-%d %H:%M:%S" --color=always
but I would like to "smuggle in" colors inside the time format. For example, I would like to have the year 2014 in red color. How would I do that?
I have tried putting the colo...
I really want to get a tablet that I can run a linux distro on that I use all the time. I love android and all, but it would be awesome to have an Arch or Fedora tablet for productivity and entertainment alike.

I'm trying to contain the scope of a variable to a shell, and not have children see it, in zsh. For example, I type this in .zshrc:
GREP_OPTIONS=--color=always
But if I run a shell script with the following:
#!/bin/bash
echo $GREP_OPTIONS
The output is:
--color=always
while I want it to ...
At least the variables from my current zsh session are exported to a sh subshell: martin@martin ~ % A=b sh -c 'echo $A' b martin@martin ~ % echo $SHELL /bin/zsh
so am I now... apparently it is expanded even in single quotes but that's probably because you are declaring the variable just for this command. Compare with:
But the anonymous function is even better because if you just need a private variable during the execution of .zshrc, an anonymous function would even prevent it from leaking into your interactive session
I'll be damned, it does work if you run the bash script from your current zsh session
huh, I would have thought that the non-interactive shell would be different. I stand corrected, looks like it was indeed me who was completely wrong :)
I've edited my post and added "But apart from that - if you're not using export in your .zshrc at all, the variable should only be visible in your current interactive session, and it shouldn't be exported to subshells."
Anyway, since he's running the script from a terminal where he has already started an interactive shell, that means that the variable is exported and passed to his script.
