Gain owner of a file using vim :w!
|
| |
Dear users,
I'm astonished by this (maybe I'm naive and I'm missing something).
Yesterday as root I saved a file skel.bashrc in my /home/beco user, owned
by root, group root.
Today I edited it, logged as beco, and vi told me "warning, read only!". I
edited anyway, just to test, and saved with :w!... more »

Debian 7 GNU/kFreeBSD Installation: Desktop Environment Default?
|
| |
Hello! There's a bit of an issue with the Debian 7 GNU/kFreeBSD default desktop in the default installation. When I select any of the "default installation" options at the beginning of the installation the installer chooses XFCE desktop manager and desktop environment instead of the default Gnome installation and even on the KDE disc it does the same thing. It's installing XFCE instead of Gnome or KDE. Why is that? The documentation for Debian 7 GNU/kFreeBSD says that the default desktop is Gnome. What happened? Why are all the installation discs I find in the mirrors defaulting to XFCE? Where can I get a disc which defaults to Gnome or KDE? Even the disc labeled KDE version is defaulting to XFCE which is a minimalist desktop for people who don't really want a serious desktop package. Who uses XFCE?(rhetorical question) This is very confusing. I like the GNU GPL license which comes with Debian but prefer the FreeBSD kernel over... more »

Greetings.
I'd like to remove Evolution from my Debian laptop installation as I use
my browser to access email/calendar online via my tablet or phone.
When I attempt to do so, aptitude informs me that it will remove pretty
much the entire Gnome-Shell as well. How do I remove what I want while... more »
