What's The Best (and Safest) Way To Get Rid Of Improperly Installed Programs?

For those of you helping me with the Libreoffice install I took someone's advice in another forum and supposedly installed it. Here is the terminal action:

And Libreoffice shows up in the Applications Menu but it won't launch. Nor does it when I right click on a file and choose 'open with Libreoffice..."

The other program is Sigil. I installed that from a debian file using Gdebi installer. In fact I installed it twice because it didn't open the first time.

So yeah, same thing: it's in the applications menu but it won't launch.

And an unrelated note: I've been getting red lines and stuff sometimes as I type in here. Just like three or four squiggly red horizontal lines (not the spell checker).

Thanks.

Hello all

I'm having trouble with installing the Mullvad VPN client on my computer. The configuration files work fine and there is a connection but the client just won't work (there is a icon in the applications but when clicking on it, password is asked and then nothing happens). Using Debian Wheezy 7.
I'm in contact with Mullvad but we haven't made any progress yet, and it's weekend now.

I tried a couple of thing but this is where i'm now:

- Fresh installed system.

→ Going to Downloads map in terminal
→ login as root
→ trying to install Mullvad by dpkg -i mullvad_48-1_all.deb
→ seeing error installing Mullvad
→ apt-get install -f
→ installing “mullvad depends on packages”
apt-get install pytho
apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8
apt-get install python-appindicator
→ trying to install Mullvad by dpkg -i mullvad_48-1_all.deb
→ seeing problem(?)
“ dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mullvad:
mullvad depends on python:any (>= 2.7.1-0ubuntu2).

dpkg: error processing mullvad (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured “ (what is this?)
→ trying to install python_2.7.3-4+deb7u1_all.deb by dpkg -i python_2.7.3-4+deb7u1_all.deb
→ then: apt-get install -f
→ trying to install Mullvad: dpkg -i mullvad_48-1_all.deb
→ still not working

I found this link about "Package has a Depends on python:any (>= 2.7.1-0ubuntu2)" https://qa.debian.org/debcheck.php?dist ... thon-gdata
It says : Package has a Depends on python:any (>= 2.7.1-0ubuntu2) which cannot be satisfied on amd64.
What does this mean for me?

I checked command # python -V The output is:

Hello

I try to install the epel repository so I can install ejabberd.

I do not have epel, it seems :

Code:

[root@serv src]# ls /etc/yum.repos.d/
CentOS-Base.repo  CentOS-Debuginfo.repo  CentOS-fasttrack.repo  CentOS-Media.repo  CentOS-Vault.repo  n2.repo

So I try to install epel :

Code:

[root@serv src]# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
Retrieving http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100]
	package epel-release-6-8.noarch is already installed

But when I try to install ejabberd :

Code:

[root@serv src]# yum install ejabberd

Something is wrong with epel.

A little embarassed to even ask this, but...

In the last few evenings, a typical Linux session has been creating a root file system on an SD card, mounted on /mnt/sd2 (partition2 of card). At the same time watching a movie from the HD, mounted at /mnt/HD.

I was wondering if everything going through /mnt might be slowing things down at all. The answer should be 'no' since everything is mounted to 'root' and that doesn't seem to be a problem, but maybe /mnt is handled differently than root.

Just ran an experiment with 'top' and seeing what is happening with mplayer and debian bootrap:

Code:

5562 walter    20   0 62980  23m 9.8m R  38.0  2.7   4:01.75 mplayer
 1852 root      20   0 32048  12m 3728 S   3.0  1.4   2:08.92 Xorg
 2020 walter    20   0  276m  14m   9m S   2.0  1.7   1:32.03 gnome-mplayer
 2070 root      20   0     0    0    0 D   1.0  0.0   0:25.22 mmcqd/0

Can't really tell much from this, except that 'mmcqd/0' must be the bootstrap program unpacking things in the sd card. It kind of begs dumb question number 2: the unpacking process is crawling down the terminal screen, why is it not using more cpu to speed itself up? Must be the sd card can only accept writing to it at that speed, average about 1 second per package? Can't pull the card out at the moment, but pretty shure it's class 10, although suspiciously cheap from Eb.

Can you guys advise on how to resolve this? We have a machine (RHEL 6 32bit 2.6.32-504.8.1.el6.i686) that boots to a black screen. I can SSH into it from my machine, but when you're physically at the machine it just displays a black screen.

I have tried booting from the previous 2 kernels, but still get the black screen.

I am assuming something got hosed with the video stuff? Its an ATI Radeon 4000series card. Should I install the ATI driver from their website and try? We have never had to do that with these machines though.


Also, when running a yum update, we receive this error. I'm not sure how to resolve this and if resolving this will fix the video issues.

Hello All

I am still working out the basics of Linux.
I have a Centos 7 install. I cannot get this RPM to install. It installs fine under Centos 6.

What am I doing wrong? I really need a GUI Find and Replace program!
--skip broken does not work either.

Thanks in advance
Scott

W: Operation was interrupted before it could finish

Finally the error in red immediately above pops up.
I searched the net and found a site with an article dated back in 2010 that said to fix the error before rebooting or I'd probably not be able to boot to Linux.
Which I'm doing right now, I've not yet rebooted.

How should I recover from such an error before I reboot.

The site had several solutions depending upon other variables, one of which was to delete and/or re-run something. But none of the solutions seemed to fit my case.

I'm running the Zorin OS 9 Theme on top of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, an AMD PhenomII 64bit 4 core processor on an ASUS MB. The video card is also an AMD/ATI, hence the need for the fglrx drivers listed above.

I'm not sure if the overwriting of the ATI/AMD driver config files shown above are responsible for the error or not. I did nothing that I was aware of that might have caused it, except close another instance of terminal that was runnning, and a libre office writer window.

Any ideas on how to solve this before I reboot would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

I use Redhat 6.3 , when I install run "yum install vsftpd" , it pops the following error, does it mean the library is not support , I have to update the kernel ? thanks
