kalikianaWhy would apt not find opera? I activated every repository but restricted.12:09
TheSheepkalikiana: get the deb from opera.com12:10
TheSheepkalikiana: I think it's not in the repos12:10
kalikianaTheSheep, I am pretty sure Opera was in Edgy's repos, so did they remove it in Feisty?12:10
kalikiana!info opera12:11
ubotuPackage opera does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas12:11
Seveas!info opera feisty-commercial12:11
ubotuPackage opera does not exist in feisty12:11
Seveashmm12:11
cjae!opera12:12
ubotuopera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser.  Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser12:12

ubotuPackage purge does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas12:24
TheSheepcjae_: have you tried to do xfdesktop --reload ?12:25
TheSheepcjae_: sudo apt-get remove --purge wine12:25
cjae_TheSheep, cause that is where my nvidia settings are going and I constantly have issues reguarding the other menu entry12:26
cjae_would crt alt <- not be the same as xfdesktop --reload12:26
TheSheepcjae_: you may want to examine the rules that govern how the entries are created12:26
cjae_I thiught is was dpkg -purge *.deb12:27
