Re: Suggestion: lose KDE Partition Manager

The graphical problem was that the resize cursor is so fine that it's hard to make it manifest. So I thought I was consigned to changing the numbers in the boxes, which behave according to a very strict and constrained logic. The Move cursor is easy, of course. The problem that wrecked my install se...

Suggestion: lose KDE Partition Manager

KDE's Partition Manager is not only inferior to Gparted in graphical functionality, it probably is responsible for the hosing of one of my installs as I tried to expand its partition via a live usb. It aborted during a resize and introduced massive errors into the partition. Gparted allows one to dr...

Re: Phantom program holding system hostage!

Other question: do you have a file called /usr/share/jicofo/jicofo.sh ? If not, then you can try to manually put it there by extracting jicofo_1.0-612-1_all.deb, the jicofo.sh file will be in data.tar.xz. The .deb file may still be in /var/cache/apt/archives, but you can download it anyway by using...

Re: Phantom program holding system hostage!

Have you tried using aptitude instead of apt? sudo aptitude remove jicofo Well, that certainly yielded different output. Instead of 58MB to be removed, it now was to be 159MB. It seemed to hit on all the dependencies more thoroughly. But in the end jicofo was still "installed" according t...

Re: Phantom program holding system hostage!

It immediately bombed out, but it did give more pinpoint information as to the error, namely: root@asus:~# dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq jicofo (Reading database ... 292306 files and directories currently installed.) Removing jicofo (1.0-612-1) ... Daemon not executable: /usr/share/jicofo/j...

Re: Phantom program holding system hostage!

Ok, that sounds like a plan. As I thought on this last night, the idea of manually removing jicofo from the system, particularly from apt's memory, occurred to me. One helpful guy at jitsi this morning suggested using mkdir -p to overwrite /etc/jitsi/jicofo, but he said there was a dpkg command whic...

Re: Phantom program holding system hostage!

I hadn't, but I did just now. Same "while cleaning up" error.

Re: Phantom program holding system hostage!

Interesting that the repo manager available through Muon did not list the jitsi stable repo, the one I used last, while the MX repo manager does list it. Muon seems totally oblivious to both the repo and its jicofo component. Then MX repo man wouldn't disable the repo. I removed it manually by delet...
