| klubuntu | is LXDE THE MOST lightweight DESKTOP enviroment? | 15:07 |
|---|---|---|
| bioterror | klubuntu, environment yes | 15:13 |
| rahulbansal | I installed a package, when I try to execute it, it runs, but when I try to uninstall it, terminal says package not installed. How can I uninstall that package ? | 15:50 |
| CooloutAC | how did you install it? | 15:55 |
| rahulbansal | I have 2 versions of proxychains 3 and 4 . I installed the 3rd version using the sudo apt-get install and 4 th version, using the zip file | 15:56 |
| rahulbansal | I removed the 3rd version, which removed the config file common to both of them | 15:57 |
| CooloutAC | ok you lost me sorry i'm noob lol | 15:57 |
| CooloutAC | the 4th version most likely you will have to go and delete it everywhere it is | 15:58 |
| CooloutAC | you can do a fake install just to see where it puts the stuff | 15:58 |
| CooloutAC | then manually delete it | 15:58 |
| rahulbansal | I want to avoid it | 15:58 |
| CooloutAC | you want to avoid what? | 15:59 |
| CooloutAC | manually removing the files? you have no choice | 15:59 |
| CooloutAC | its the same when you do a make install, since they almost never put an uninstaller in there | 15:59 |
| CooloutAC | you have to manually remove the files wherever they go | 15:59 |
| rahulbansal | using locate command will help ? | 15:59 |
| rahulbansal | to find all the location of the file | 16:00 |
| CooloutAC | how did you install it using a zip file i don't understand | 16:00 |
| rahulbansal | ./configure | 16:00 |
| rahulbansal | make | 16:00 |
| rahulbansal | make install | 16:00 |
| CooloutAC | right ok so | 16:00 |
| CooloutAC | there is no uninstaller for that | 16:00 |
| rahulbansal | how to find htat | 16:00 |
| CooloutAC | what you can do is the command for a test make install | 16:00 |
| CooloutAC | and then look at all the places it puts it | 16:00 |
| CooloutAC | i forget command i have to look it up | 16:00 |
| rahulbansal | there is a way to make test install ? | 16:01 |
| CooloutAC | yes | 16:01 |
| rahulbansal | let me check that | 16:01 |
| CooloutAC | i'm looking too | 16:01 |
| CooloutAC | i think make test? | 16:01 |
| CooloutAC | try that | 16:01 |
| CooloutAC | instead of make install | 16:02 |
| CooloutAC | or make install test | 16:02 |
| CooloutAC | still looking | 16:02 |
| rahulbansal | it does not work | 16:02 |
| rahulbansal | its checkinstall | 16:02 |
| CooloutAC | make -n install | 16:03 |
| CooloutAC | ^ | 16:03 |
| CooloutAC | run that, then look in the terminal at all the places it puts files, manually go there and delete them | 16:03 |
| CooloutAC | you can try a make uninstall first | 16:03 |
| CooloutAC | but i doubt the package has it | 16:03 |
| CooloutAC | if not you have to do it the other way | 16:04 |
| CooloutAC | https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1439950/whats-the-opposite-of-make-install-ie-how-do-you-uninstall-a-library-in-lin | 16:04 |
| CooloutAC | rahulbansal: make -n install, did you try it? | 16:04 |
| CooloutAC | thats what i have done in the past | 16:04 |
| rahulbansal | k | 16:05 |
| rahulbansal | i am trying it | 16:05 |
| rahulbansal | it says nothing to be done for install | 16:05 |
| CooloutAC | make uninstall, if that dont' work make -n install | 16:05 |
| CooloutAC | what? | 16:05 |
| CooloutAC | did you do it in the same directory? | 16:05 |
| rahulbansal | yes | 16:06 |
| rahulbansal | make: *** No rule to make target 'uninstall'. Stop. | 16:06 |
| CooloutAC | I don't know what to tell you then bud, that should work | 16:06 |
| rahulbansal | getting this error | 16:06 |
| CooloutAC | ok so now do make -n install | 16:06 |
| CooloutAC | and look at all the steps and directories it puts files and manually go there and delete them | 16:07 |
| rahulbansal | make: Nothing to be done for 'install'. | 16:07 |
| CooloutAC | i can't help you then | 16:08 |
| CooloutAC | maybe delete the folder and unzip and start over | 16:08 |
| CooloutAC | and this time instead of doing make install | 16:08 |
| CooloutAC | do make -n install | 16:08 |
| CooloutAC | do make clean first maybe | 16:09 |
| CooloutAC | then make -n install | 16:09 |
| CooloutAC | if not do it all over then do make -n install | 16:09 |
| CooloutAC | and look at all the steps | 16:09 |
| rahulbansal | which folder to delete ? | 16:10 |
| CooloutAC | the one you unzipped | 16:11 |
| CooloutAC | maybe someone else can help you man sorry | 16:11 |
| CooloutAC | that is the folder you should be running the command in | 16:11 |
| CooloutAC | the same folder you did make install the first time | 16:11 |
| rahulbansal | command works from everywhre | 16:11 |
| CooloutAC | wrong | 16:11 |
| rahulbansal | what ? | 16:12 |
| CooloutAC | you told me you did make install to install it right? | 16:12 |
| rahulbansal | yes | 16:12 |
| CooloutAC | so go to that folder you typed make install and type make -n install | 16:12 |
| rahulbansal | when I do that, i gets the error | 16:12 |
| rahulbansal | make: Nothing to be done for 'install'. | 16:12 |
| CooloutAC | don't know what to tell you | 16:12 |
| CooloutAC | go ask in #ubuntu | 16:12 |
| CooloutAC | do make clean in that folder first | 16:13 |
| rahulbansal | did that, nobody is replygin | 16:13 |
| CooloutAC | or remove the folder and unzip again and do it all over | 16:13 |
| rahulbansal | ok | 16:13 |
| CooloutAC | just like how you did it the first time, except instead of doing make install, do make -n install | 16:13 |
| CooloutAC | then look at all the steps it takes on screen and go to the folders it puts files and delete those files | 16:13 |
| Smirnov | i'm trying to find a pager with a 2d workspace grid for LXDE. is it possible? | 17:02 |
| Smirnov | I was able to manually tweak openbox into giving me a 2d workspace grid, but the lxpanel desktop pager is busted because it only shows everything in the first workspace | 17:03 |
| CooloutAC | what is a 2d workspace grid? | 17:03 |
| Smirnov | am I completly SOL without switching out lxpanel with something else? | 17:03 |
| Smirnov | CooloutAC: it means a rectangular workspace (e.g. 3x3) instead of flat (1x3) , see for example here (except its unity 2d so doesnt apply) http://askubuntu.com/questions/21755/how-to-add-multiple-workspaces-in-unity-2d | 17:04 |
| CooloutAC | can't you set it to 3x3? | 17:08 |
| CooloutAC | is there a dconf editor or something in lubuntu i'm not on my machine | 17:09 |
| CooloutAC | Smirnov: what if you do soemthing like this but make ie 0 3 3 0 https://superuser.com/questions/347528/openbox-make-4-desktops-2x2 | 17:10 |
| CooloutAC | Smirnov: http://java.divshot.io/en/Chapter-IV/Part-V:-Layouts.html | 17:11 |
| CooloutAC | Brightside is another suggestion i see online instead of setlayout | 17:17 |
| CooloutAC | on my name machine i use compiz which would have your option but i don't know if thats practical for you | 17:18 |
| CooloutAC | *gnome | 17:18 |
| Smirnov | I did use 'setlayout' with 0 3 3 0 and it was fine, the pager is the problem | 17:19 |
| Smirnov | yeah I just think I might end up switching to gnome classic | 17:19 |
| CooloutAC | oh you mean in the panel? | 17:25 |
| CooloutAC | ya thats what i use the compiz on gnome classic on another machine | 17:25 |
| CooloutAC | i guess if you got enough memory | 17:25 |
| CooloutAC | I use lxde on a machine cause i only got the 1 gb of slow ram | 17:25 |
| CooloutAC | Smirnov: does openbox have a pager? | 17:26 |
| Smirnov | i have plenty of ram, i just dont like the 3d shit | 17:27 |
| Smirnov | openbox just says to use something like rox-pager which seems to require another panel (not lxpanel) | 17:27 |
| CooloutAC | hm | 17:28 |
| NOOB_ | hi. i am having a problem with my phone generating issues with my laptop when plugged in. it is generating "couldn't find matching udev device" errors. i found this. http://blog.mpshouse.com/?p=609 but when i do lsusb my phone is not listed. please advise | 20:23 |
| Smirnov | CooloutAC: well I switched to gnome classic. works lightning fast and does everything I want. | 20:33 |
| CooloutAC | nice! | 20:33 |
| CooloutAC | ya i love the gnome-classic | 20:33 |
| CooloutAC | I use it on trisquel another ubuntu fork | 20:33 |
| Smirnov | i dont like all these new whizzbang 3d uis, just kills performance the moment you have more than 4 windows open | 20:35 |
| Smirnov | maybe if they figured out how to properly swap graphics memory... | 20:35 |
| Smirnov | games have no problem displaying 1000s of objects but people cant write a non-laggy WM displaying 100 windows | 20:35 |
| CooloutAC | Smirnov: ya haha | 20:35 |
