Psychocats Tutorials Updates

[kansasnoob]

Xubuntu worked for me on 64-bit after rebooting. The only thing the headers are used for are compiling aren't they?

I'm not sure. I originally got into this because of the pae vs non-pae issue. My concern was that I've often recommended Aysiu's tutorials and I wanted to make her aware of any potential issues.

I've written just a few tutorials, two examples:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1966370

And I'm working on this one:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1959675

Ultimately I'm only trying to be helpful

[CharlesA]

Thanks for the links.

More info is always a good thing.

As long as you don't remove linux-headers-generic and linux-headers-generic-pae, you should be fine... I think.

That is my belief ATM, but I think your "remove Lubuntu/Xubuntu" scripts in post #554 do remove those don't they?

But I also want to try them just as is, and it would be interesting to see just how it works with 64 bit. If CharlesA is correct then nothing should be effected, although we need to also think how future updates may be effected.

I need to lay down for a while ............. getting old, both mind and body giving out

[CharlesA]

If there is a new kernel update, new headers are installed, and that would pull in any dependencies that are missing.

Hope you feel better, kansasnoob.

Okay. Any brave souls want to test this out?

If you have Kubuntu and Ubuntu installed and you want to remove Ubuntu:

If that works, I have a feeling I know what was wrong with my "pure" desktop environment tutorials--I've always used the live CDs instead of a full installation, and it's never been a big problem until Precise. If this works, I may have to do a full installation of all the major *buntus to generate the lists.

Pure Kubuntu, remove Ubuntu as shown here worked great

[kevdog]

Xubuntu worked for me on 64-bit after rebooting. The only thing the headers are used for are compiling aren't they?

That is my belief. And specifically needed for kernel modules not just any random program thst needs compiling.

[kansasnoob]

CharlesA (or anyone else, for that matter), would you mind testing these too?

I'm kind of hoping this will work (or that both this and the earlier one work). This one's a lot easier to create.

OK I just tried the Ubuntu, remove Xubuntu script as posted here and I encountered the expected lightdm problem but I'll do this in the order of occurrence. I began by installing and updating Xubuntu Precise, and then just ran "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop".

After being certain that both Xubuntu and Ubuntu booted OK I opened the dashboard and typed term:

Screenshot - 05052012 - 01:49:03 AM.jpg

As you can see there both the 'gnome-terminal' and 'xfce4-terminal' are largely indistinguishable in the dash. That's what worries me about removing any OS's native terminal. Being familiar with the global-menu I just clicked on Help > About to be sure I had 'gnome-terminal' open and then ran your script.

When the script was done running I rebooted and was, quite expectedly, presented with the following while trying to boot up:

That's one of the things I was trying to explain clear back in post #518. AFAIK the entire Ubuntu family uses 'lightdm' now except for Kubuntu which still uses 'kdm', but Ubuntu itself uses 'unity-greeter' and the rest of the tribe uses 'lightdm-gtk-greeter', and just installing or reinstalling DE's does not change the greeter used so you must include the proper one of these:

To select 'lightdm-gtk-greeter':

sudo /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults -g lightdm-gtk-greeter

To select 'unity-greeter':

sudo /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults -g unity-greeter

Anyway I was able to fix things by booting into recovery mode and typing "/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults -g unity-greeter".

Totally off-topic but I should also mention that I was surprised selecting "root" in recovery mode mounts files and folders as read only so I first had to enable networking and then select root again to get read & write capability. That may effect other uses of the recovery mode

After that I was able to boot normally though and the only indication that removing those kernel header packages may be any kind of a problem is this:

But I need to take a peak at some other conversions where I specifically did not remove any kernel packages for a comparison.

I actually got to thinking that it may be wise if we'd create these scripts using 64 bit OS's to eliminate the kernel mess anyway, and I've sort of been wanting to try 64 bit on my Intel Atom anyway, but it may take me a few days to get it done.

It certainly does affect other uses of the recovery mode. See my recent thread about it, and the bug since raised (you may want to vote for the bug).

Thanks Paddy. I set the package name as 'friendly-recovery', hope that's right, and added a comment.

I subscribed too so I'll try to follow up
