I use Xubuntu 12.04.1 LTS  (xfce) with Thunar file manager.    I ran this command:  rm ~/.local/share/applications/wine-extension-jpe.desktop   And one Wine context menu item has gone.  How do I remove the other one?

The dialog box in question here is the one you get with the context menu option "open with other applications". Wine seems to have inserted more than a dozen or so entries for each application I install, which makes it a pain to find the correct application:     What can I do to remove the duplicates?     Update: Neither of the two solutions really work. The bug is interesting, but the symptoms does not match my problem (I'm not having problem with uninstalling applications, but rather the things that are inserted after installing them), and with the other one, all references to the Wine application are removed, which actually makes the problem worse (although it may be an acceptable solution if nothing else can be found). So this is still an open question; any takers?

Is it possible to 'enclose' more than one application in a single Unity icon/button? In order to keep under control the number of buttons on launcher, it will be very useful to me to store some applications of the same type (e.g. small accessory applications like take screenshot or web application etc. ) in a single button as that is possible with the xfce panel...

I am using the  for GNOME Shell, similar to the old Maximus extension for GNOME 2 / Unity. When I maximise a window, the title and menu bars are hidden.  But I don't want the minimise, maximise or close buttons to appear in the Activity Bar. , so I have been able to remove the minimise and maximise buttons by disabling them in Tweak Tool.  How do I similarly disable/remove the close (X) button?  (I guess this is the opposite of )

On a relatively new installation, Thunar has become the default file browser simply by using it.   While I can open Nautilus easily enough, I'd rather it remained as the default file browser(especially when I choose to view files in dual pane).  How can I change my default file manager?

//As a comment, I want to say that I can actually open the context, but it does not work .  I right click on a file and hover the mouse on Open With option, then in the Open With context Menu, I want to choose default program for that file, it shows me an error saying:  This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action, please install a program or if, one is already installed create an association in the Default programs control panel.  But I don't want to create an association in control panel every time i want to change the default program, I just want to do it by right-clicking on a file and fr

Although there are several posts on the Internet on the subject, I did not find a solution yet: my goal is to find a command that adds an icon (.desktop file) to the Unity launcher and shows it immediately. when I open dconf-editor (desktop > unity > launcher) and I add an item to the favorites list, it shows at once in the launcher, so my idea is that it must be possible to do the same thing by command. The solutions I found so far on the Internet do not do the job.    I need to do it by command, to use in a quicklist editor I am working on.  You would make someone unbelievably happy if you could help out

I can't disable showing drive's icons in Launcher bar. I have looked for that option both in CCSM (it used to be in Experimental tab) and in dconf-editor (desktop->unity) and it is missing.    How can I remove launcher drive icons?

I tried running some code to reset my proxy:  if [ $(id -u) -ne 0 ]; then   echo "This script must be run as root";   exit 1; fi  gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy mode 'none' ;  grep PATH /etc/environment &gt; lol.t; cat lol.t &gt; /etc/environment;  printf "" &gt; /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/95proxies;  rm -rf lol.t;   and it messed with my desktop environment. I made prior post about this and another user said I had some of my home files owned by root. I took their advice and put the permissions back, using:  sudo chown -R user:user ~/   But even after that, my background is the only thing that loads after logging in. I'm using Xubuntu 16.04 with xfce desktop.

I have a launcher on my desktop and want to add another one manually with the same icon.   When I go to the preferences of the existing launcher and click the icon, it doesn't take me to the folder where the icon is stored but just to my home folder.  How can I find out where the used icon of the launcher is located in my system?

Wine automatically adds certain mimetypes and file associations (e.g. notepad.exe for .ini files). There already is an  that explains how to remove these associations.  But how can one prevent Wine from adding them again and again?

I accidentally lost some of the system files by executing the following command in the terminal:   sudo apt-get purge wine\*   Most of the installed software (terminal, software center, libreoffice etc.) are now lost.  Does anybody have a solution for this issue?

A few days ago I installed Xubuntu on top of a normal Ubuntu system:  sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop   I didn't play around for long on Xubuntu before I realised that I liked Ubuntu 2D better. Now my problem is how do I uninstall Xubuntu and all of it's dependencies and the recommended packages like Thunar and Abiword.  For now I just run:  sudo apt-get remove xubuntu-*   but I still have a lot left from Xubuntu. It would be nice if by doing  apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop   all of the packages installed with the metapackages were also removed, but that is not the case.

Is there a simple linux command that will tell me what my display manager is?  I'm using Xfce.  Are different desktop environments usually affiliated with different display managers?

I suspected that installing xfce4 cause some issues in Ubuntu so I removed them using apt-get remove xfce4 xfce4-goodeis.

Using . Everything works fine, but it appears there are limits - when selecting more than 15 folders, &quot;Take Ownership&quot; context menu entry disappears. Same goes with files, 15 is maximum. Where does that limit of 15 come from and why does it exist?

If I install a different desktop environment on ubuntu, will it delete files or programs installed earlier?  Could I use those programs installed with ubuntu if I replace the environment with xfce?
