how does one remove sound-juicer?
After quite some time, my roommate has slowly taken to using linux
on her home PC, the big selling point is it not bombarding her with
pop-ups, spy-ware and the like whenever she uses her browser or
instant messaging client.
The other selling point is that it never locks up on her, and she
can leave it running all the time without fears of weird stuff
happening. At the moment she is using a
Gnome desktop, which when I have time,
I will likely remove and try out
KDE. I used not to be a KDE fan
but it has come a long long way in recent years. Whilst looking for
iPod software recently I tried
Amarock, and I remember thinking at
the time that if the rest of the KDE applications are this pleasant
to use, KDE will become even more popular than it is today.
It's not that she is struggling with Gnome, but she did seem to
really like the look of KDE when I showed her their site. She also,
as do I, thinks the default desktop is a bit sparse, and frankly,
not very attractive. Easy stuff to change once you know what your
doing but still, Gnome just doesn't feel, for lack of a better
term, welcoming.
When I asked her to help with my CD ripping project she said sure.
I copied over my
grip
config files and brought down a stack of CD's (Pink Floyd if it
matters..). She had no problems swapping the CD's as grip had
finished and ejected them, however, every time she put a new CD in,
sound-juicer
would pop up and try to steal the show, thankfully managing only to
steal some focus. Sarah thought it was a `virus!' at first :-) I
looked in the Gnome preferred applications menu, but it only showed
me a choice for my preferred browser, email client and something
else I cannot recall at the moment.
So, I ask you, if it not a `preferred application', why does it pop
up every time I insert a CD? I then decided to remove
sound-juicer but apt wanted to remove
gnome-desktop-environment which didn't sound good, so
I have left it for now.
The CD ripping continues at full throttle however, I have completed
box number 2 of 5 and have used about 35GB's of space. Box 3 will
arrive either tonight or tomorrow. I hope all the David Bowie is in
box 3!
