[QUOTE=n0cturni;36162991]Yeah, it's openbox. I solved the problem by removing the application in question (which sucked because it was some CrossOver crap and I had to fight to get the uninstaller to work), though I never learned how to just manually remove the application from the "Applications" list. I tried editing menu.xml but it seems to just get its application list from [i]something[/i] because the actual launchers weren't listed in menu.xml itself.[/QUOTE] Check /usr/share/applications and /usr/local/share/applications if they exist and delete the offending program shortcut.
While I'm no stranger to Linux, I've found myself utterly stumped as to how to reset Empathy. I now have a "phantom" unread message after I blocked a spammer, and I don't have a clue as to how to either get the notification off, or reset Empathy by deleting its settings directory (since I can't find it anywhere in my /home). Anyone know how to help with this? [IMG]http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/1298/empathyglitch.png[/IMG] [B][I][U]EDIT:[/U][/I][/B] Never mind! All it needed was to be reset by restarting the computer. Man, makes me feel dumb.

hey guys i have a small problem. right now the user menu im creating, the sub menus are not "one per row", instead, they are like 2 per row. any idea how to make them 1 per row? [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/344tnyo.png[/IMG] My code is: [QUOTE] #!/bin/bash clear echo "Welcome to the Main Menu. Please select any Option below." echo "" echo "" echo "" OPTIONS="User_Menu Disk_Quota_Menu Backup_Menu Network_Menu NFS_Menu" select CHOICE in $OPTIONS; do echo "" echo "" if [ "$CHOICE" == "User_Menu" ]; then ./UserMenu.sh elif [ "$CHOICE" == "Disk_Quota_Menu" ]; then ./DiskQuotaMenu.sh elif [ "$CHOICE" == "Backup_Menu" ]; then ./BackupMenu.sh elif [ "$CHOICE" == "Network_Menu" ]; then ./NetworkMenu.sh elif [ "$CHOICE" == "NFS_Menu" ]; then ./NFSMenu.sh else echo "" echo "" echo "Bad Option. Please choose a number from 1 to 5 ."; echo fi done [/QUOTE] So i want to make it like 1) User Menu 2) Disk Quota Menu 3) Backup Menu 4) Network Menu. 5) NFS Menu Instead of 1) User Menu 3) Backup Menu 5) NFS Menu 2) Disk Quota Menu 4)Network Menu Any ideas? Thanks a lot.
[QUOTE=LieutenantLeo;36147157]Damn, if i can't fix this Ubuntu thing can anyone recommend another distro? Preferably not Arch or anything, I'm not in the mood for that. I just want something that works.[/QUOTE] Linuxmint It is made off of ubuntu and debian combined then edited heavily so it is it's own OS.

Alright, firstly, I'm stumped as to where to put this Android related post, because the Android thread in the Google subforum doesn't look very technical and the fact that Android is Linux based. I'll just ask here. My LG-P690 running Android 2.3.4 thinks it's funny to fuck up the contacts, resulting in a crash of android.process.acore each time I open the contacts list. The only way to fix it is by doing a factory reset + SD card erase. I never installed non-market apps. Today I downloaded an app (Touchpal Contacts) which, hopefully, won't fuck me up as badly. Today was the 2nd or third time my contacts fucked up. I've also got another problem. I can't install any custom ROMs (the phone is already rooted) because, from what I've seen, some LG DRM will do a factory reset each time ROM Manager by Clockwork tries to fiddle with ROM-based stuff. Now, for the main questions: What is causing the android.process.acore crash? Is there a permanent solution to it? How do I remove the LG DRM? Is it safe to do it without bricking my device? If I do brick the device, can I install a Linux distribution on it even if it has only 160 MB of internal storage? And before you ask, yes, I did Google it first.
[QUOTE=marcus5;36182242]i don't know where to put the \n. Also, you need -e for \n to be recognized right?[/QUOTE] Use printf instead, and follow the C printf standard. Should work just fine.

Alright so I have recently come into possession of an older laptop and I want to install a Linux distro on it, partially because the people that gave it to me wiped it clean, partially because it'd be a nice learning experience. I have never installed Linux or used much of any Linux OS. What's a fairly standard distro that will work on an older computer, and what's the easiest way to get it installed?

Hmm, installed a battery meter on my Fedora 17 install but it keeps saying it's at 100%.
Nevermind. I found it was my motherboard going to shit. Luckily I'm in the process of migrating to better (relative) hardware.
Just finished installing Arch on a virtual machine, using MATE as my DE. I used to dual boot this setup with Windows, but I figured that since all my speed-critical applications are based on Windows, it'd be a lot easier for me to use a virtualised Linux install rather than one I have to reboot to switch to. In other news, this is the first time I've used MATE and I have to say I am enjoying it greatly. It harks back to the days of GNOME 2 (obviously), which is pretty much the GNOME version I am most in love with!

They should make a cyberpunk distro but then I remembered that that's Arch.
Does anyone know of a lightweight source-based distro, that isn't Gentoo and using Portage? (I'm tired of having to compile stuff using a slow Python-based backend, that uses up a LOT of RAM) [editline]5th June 2012[/editline] And one that's about as "cutting edge" as Arch Linux.
There is no such thing like that. But you can always try Linux From Scratch v:v:v
