Nickname - danger mouse

Ubuntu fanatic since v7.

I work for a very large corporate technology firm as a systems developer.

Would love to take this further into the FOSS world - just looking for the opportunity!

comment How to remove ( Delete ) the MGSE & Mate packages?
not sure I understand the question - if you are asking how do I do a disk image of the installation then use something like CloneZilla - you then will have a good backup that you can simply restore if your installation goes bad for whatever reason.

why have you got an opensuse repo? Untick this in your software sources if my first thought...

comment installation of driver permission denied
ok - I'm a little confused with the question you have now - have you managed to install the driver? Is the only thing you havent done is run sudo aticonfig --initial to complete the installation?

comment Why doesn't Skype appear in the upper panel?
Have you recently added an application that would normally show up mnimized in the system tray? The reason why I ask - I've see some reports of QT apps causing issues when they minimize in Natty... Perhaps try disabling most/all of the startup apps except for skype and see if this resolve your issue - trial and error, readd each startup app one by one...

comment Accidentally added two “Shut Down…” red power button icons to gnome desktop. Can't remove
is this the gnome-classic desktop or the gnome-shell desktop? Can you add a link to a screenshot so that we can see the issue?
