Remove Kubuntu items from gnome

[A-star]

I found this in another thread and it might be usefull to some people:

It removes every kubuntu program from the gnome menu:

cd /usr/share/applications/kde
sudo chmod a+rw /usr/share/applications/kde/*
for i in *; do echo "OnlyShowIn=KDE;" >> $i; done
sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/applications/kde/*

Why would you want to remove kubuntu apps?

Because they clutter Gnome menus and most of them have their Gtk2 counterparts already. (I'd recommend leaving K3B and Amarok though ;) )

Thanks for the tip!

Hello,
would you also know how to do the opposite ? removing gnome apps from kde menu (but I hope they will stay in the debian menu).

thanks

Would this work?

cd /usr/share/applications/gnome
sudo chmod a+rw /usr/share/applications/gnome/*
for i in *; do echo "OnlyShowIn=gnome;" >> $i; done
sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/applications/gnome/*

Excellent! This worked perfectly. Thanks, A-Star! :)

try this, it doesn't remove the gnome items from your kde menu, but nicely puts them all in a gnome submenu :)

Can I use the command:

$ sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop


Will this remove everything that came with the command:

$sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

?

No, but there's instructions on how to do that in this post (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96048).

Basically, the kubuntu-desktop package is only a meta-package, meaning it contains no actual data, only dependencies on the actual packages that make up KDE for Ubuntu. So in order to remove them again, you need to remove each package explicitly. The post I linked above shows the command to do just that :)
