Struggling To Uninstall Serviio

Hi everyone!

Having read about the latest LibreOffice version, I felt tempted to try it out. I uninstalled the default version on my Ubuntu machine and downloaded the .deb from the LibreOffice site and installed it. The new office has since worked without any trouble.

A few days later I decided to dump Unity and go back to Gnome. So I installed Ubuntu-Gnome-Desktop.

It was then that I noticed two versions of LibreOffice on the application dash (I think, because there are two sets of icons for each office application- see the attached screenshot).

Did Gnome install its own version of LibreOffice with it? Does it really have one? I don't know.

Whichever icon I use to launch the app, the office however always brings up the latest version. So, there's no problem in terms of application errors. As I thought there's no need to have an extra version of an app and eat up my space, I tried to uninstall through Aptitude, but it doesn't 'remove' LibreOffice.

Any advice, please! Thanks in advance.

What Is Linux Kernel?

Those who don't know what is the Linux Kernel they should know it because Linux kernel is the essential part of any Linux operating system. It is responsible for resource allocation, low-level hardware interfaces, security, simple communications, basic file system management, and more. Written from scratch by Linus Torvalds (with help from various developers), Linux is a clone of the UNIX operating system. It is geared towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliances.

Latest Stable Linux Kernel Version 3.18.1
It's been a quiet week, and the patch from rc7 is tiny, so 3.18 is out.
I'd love to say that we've figured out the problem that plagues 3.17 for a couple of people, but we haven't. At the same time, there's absolutely no point in having everybody else twiddling their thumbs when a couple of people are actively trying to bisect an older issue, so holding up the release just didn't make sense. Especially since
that would just have then held things up entirely over the holiday break.
So the merge window for 3.19 is open, and DaveJ will hopefully get his bisection done (or at least narrow things down sufficiently that we have that "Ahaa" moment) over the next week. But in solidarity with Dave (and to make my life easier too let's try to avoid introducing any _new_ nasty issues, ok?]

I am about to attempt my first software installation - upgrading my LibreOffice package to the latest version. Since all my software came preloaded with my computer I have not been involved in this exercise previously.

I realize how irritating newbies can be, by asking questions that have already been answered in other threads, so I have read the post offering basic software installation instructions, together with anything else that seemed relevant. Then I got the installation instructions from the LibreOffice website. When I compared these with the LQ version it was difficult to find much in common, so what do I do? I am inclined to follow the LibreOffice instructions. Apart from anything else, they are simpler. However, I notice reference to a 'desktop-integration' folder in the latter. I do not appear to have such a folder in my present system. Can I assume that it will be created as part of the installation of the updated package?

I am happy to experiment but one thing that terrifies me is the instruction to purge my existing version of LibreOffice before installing the latest one. I do not question the logic of so doing, it being pointed out that otherwise I will finish up with both new and old versions. The worry is that, if I remove the old version and am then unable to successfully install the new one, I will have well and truly 'burned my boats behind me'- and I have only just got the spell checker to work in the old version!

I have so far managed to download the .tar.gz file and extract the installation folder and associated files from it. I realise that the latter could well be lost when purging the existing LibreOffice installation but that does not matter. I have slightly renamed the .tar.gz file so that the purge command will not find it. I can then quickly re-extract the installation folder, with its .deb files, if I need to, the extraction process yielding exactly the same files whatever the .tar.gz file name.

I am just about ready to jump but I would like a handle on the 'desktop-integration' file, or folder, before I do.

Hello guys!

First thing to be said is, that I am not native English speaker and I hope my english will be sufficient for this problem.

I am trying to make some kind of thin client from my Raspberry Pi 2.
I put Raspbian Wheezy distribution inside.

After I tried different clients (rdesktop, remmina, xrdp) I found FreeRDP, that looks like what I was looking for.

After the setup and network configuration of my Raspbian I updated repositories and installed freerdp through
Quote:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install freerdp
Their wiki says that there are 2 forms of commands. The newer one (through /PARAMETER) and older one (through -PARAMETER)
https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/w...dLineInterface

How do I get new commands to work? I thought that apt-get install freerdp would bring me the newest version. My version is 1.0.1 and I am not sure if it is the newest version.

I need to run my rdp client from shell, that is why I refused to use remmina.

I hope i explained my problem weell enough.

Thank you for any suggestions.

I am trying to convert a PDF document from an Excel and PowerPoint document. I installed it and ran the command. It gives no warning.. Just doesn't create a new PDF document. I've successfully done this before, but I think it was a different server. I've checked file permissions, but don't think it is the issue (I've tried as a normal user and as root).

I could convert doc, docx, and txt files, but not xls, xlsx, ppt, and pptx files.

Thoughts why? Is there a verbose option or a log file which I could check for clues?

Thank you

As you may know wubi has become thing of the past and will not work any more.
I tried to use it to reinstall Ubuntu on my Windows machine and it went thru the very 1st phase of install but gave an error which meant something like "the files are not on the ftp site"...and then quit.

I found out that there is no more WUBI support for UB 14.4 so now my question is:
Is there anyway I could install an Older version of Ubuntu (or even the new version)on my Windows machine without risk of destroying my partitions or Win OS?

I did search the site before posting this but most related subjects were from 2007 and so unrelated.
in a way I wished the heck it was 2007, life was much easier then! heh
Thanks!

P.S Frankly I am not impressed by discontinuation of WUBI and dont care for newer versions of Ubuntu. Seems like they did a lot of fixing on the things which were not broken in the 1st place!? Tell me if I am wrong...what's so good about newer versions except a lot more restrictions?
