wow, I have delayed installing ubuntu on my Cubieboard, because I was busy playing angrybirds and cut the rope on android it came with... what is the world coming to.
Think it's a good idea in some ways, but it may not apply to all. I've been looking for something to look at to help move along my learning so that I'm not limited to poorly formed video tutorials and whatever I have in my memory from a former Ruby Class.
I have Gnome Shell installed, and I want to remove the Epiphany browser. But when I click uninstall in the software center its says that Gnome-core is a dependency of Epiphany, so it will be uninstalled too.
Is there anyway I can remove Epiphany without removing Gnome?

I believe ubuntu-desktop is a "metapackage" aka a package of packages. MetaPackages.
Thus when you un-install a package in that metapackage it un-installs the metapackage, but not the other packages in the metapackage, so removing eog and letting it un-install ubuntu-desktop should not harm Unity...
having some fun playing with blender, but i'm fooling with getting entire python modules inside bge. i'm wondering if using threading inside bge is "safe"
funny, the comment got 5 upticks and the answer only 2 upgoats and no accept... :/
You can't force low rep users to accept answers. Voting should take care of it (or asking a similar question after it appears abandoned and requesting a merge so you can accept the other answer). The latter is a little sketchy, but might "solve" the problem. — AbrahamVanHelpsingDec 16 at 19:14
either way really, i'm more inclined to think votes (higher voted questions probably drive more traffic) high volume questions are just aw crap, you're the only one who asked that
yeah, you're not the first one to point towards the mac target version of wine thing. i just don't see it being mature enough to be usable any time soon
fyi, gparted offers you to ignore i/o errors (due to bad blocks) during cloning from a bad drive. i just don't yet know what that means for the file(s) affected by those bad blocks. :)
if you're doing that and you know you have bad blocks use ddrescue instead. it will try a set number of times then give up. idk if gparted will retry it even once or if it just skips on every bad read
thing is, i don't need the affected file, so i'm fine with losing it. i just was afraid gparted will abort the operation once it hits the bad block, but turns out it doesn't.
i was glad that there's an easy way to find out which files are affected by bad blocks using debugfs. not sure there's something similar in windows. :P
According to the Gnome-Termianl Usage, I found that ctrl+shift+up/down can scroll up/down a line in the terminal.
Now, I want to re-map the shortcut key, just like: alt+j/k to scroll up/down a line, that's the old habit of vimer. :) I tried searching the settings in Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts of...
A minority of people here, including some very outspoken users, are against our policy of allowing questions about end-of-life releases. (I'm still not entirely sure myself, about what our policy on that should be.)
However, current community consensus is that we allow those questions and that w...
notify-send "Message is ultralong - I wonder what happens then - we may have a word wrap or not - lets see how this looks like on my screen" "Text\ntwo lines"
@Takkat simpler solution is to make it a circular bar instead of a squish bar for low res. you can "scroll-throw" it down and it wraps to the top, but if you scroll throw it up it stops at the top. then it's on you to organize your launcher
i'm curios as to which is "faster" for blendergame. lots of one-key logic bricks that trigger other brick definable events or a catch allkeys brick that sets a bunch of state attributes then modifies gamestate based on them.
i was thinking the former because the former is probably compiled triggers where the latter has to load the pyc every game tick and evaluate, but it could go either way
i'm being facetious in my "weren't good enough". starting over instead of fixing problems on that kind of a scale has to be cutting off your nose despite your face
yeah, there was supposed to be a 3 year timeline from now according to another article. it doesn't matter how perfect your OS is. every feature adds a configuration options that can hurt you.
they should just use vanilla linux and tweak a configuration management tool...then call it a day
who knew python had destructors? learn something new every day i guess

This was not actually installed from a derivative distribution, but rather from a personally or organizationally customized live CD, with edited network settings as the only change. It's been edited and the situation is now clear from comments. Speaking as one of the close voters, since that's Ubuntu (whereas, say, Mint isn't), we should reopen this now (and subsequently most of the comments can be removed):
After cloning a hard drive (with Ubuntu 10.04) to a new computer, how can I configure the OS to its new hardware?
What I've done so far:
Clone desktop HDD to laptop HDD
run boot-repair to fix the GRUB setup on laptop HDD
edit /etc/fstab to list the laptop HDD's UUID
When I boot, a window pop...
I had windows 7, i created some free space of about 26gb(Unallocated space). I selected install ubuntu alongside and installation directly started. After i restarted the pc i could not windows 7 in the boot menu(GRAB). I know that winows os is there because i ran the recovery disc and it showed a...
@EliahKagan it's a recompiled kernel. sounded like a troll, which is why i voted to close. all those problems are from compiling out support for everything
if he says otherwise, he's simply lying to keep it alive. if it doesn't auto-detect any of his hardware then everything that was selected as "compile as module" in a vanilla kernel was turned off.
it sounds like fishing for xfree86-config equiv commands to me, but they are NOT necessary in the way the OP is implying
When I asked question 231990, I referred to my 10.04 installation as a "custom distro", when I really meant that it had a custom connection setup for wired ethernet (using cntlm to connect to a proxy).
Unfortunately, people assumed that I was talking about some very different flavor of Ubuntu s...
I should mention I disabled all loadable module in my kernel configuration. I don't want to install a vanilla kernel.
What keys do I press to unbreak everything?
yeah...they're okay. i'm hoping the new question being phrased exactly asking what the OP means will get the "well that's an idiotic question" response so i can draw the parallel
Originally, this question was closed due to a mis-wording, and is now in the process of being reopened. Another user pointed out to me that they believe that a custom kernel makes a post off-topic(while the original post may have been mentioning a proxy configuration, that is beside the point). S...
o/ @BrunoPereira - I'm not jumping in your knickers on this one, I just have a really strong opinion on needing to find a dark black line on when something becomes derived
@BrunoPereira it's a comparatively identical question to the custom distro kernel question. if you want me to delete it say so. it was sort of a rage-post question
the level of detail is the same as the other that was reopened. "none of my hardware works". i can nuke it, it was just a response to an equally silly question
I open my Documents folder more often than my Home folder. In Unity, if I want to open Documents, I click on the File manager icon in the launcher (this opens Home), then I click on Documents in the Nautilus bookmarks. I would prefer to just left-click once on that icon and have Documents open di...

After the performance problems we have run into with Lucene.net we've decided to make a change, we're moving the network on to elasticsearch.
The test screen is a little hidden at the moment until we swap all search over, but here's a link to get there. Note that searches via the top box will k...
