Cleanup startup

[bob58]

Below is a copy of my DMESG file. I did an apt-get-install of some things and noticed that my startup has some errors.....some things not found. How can I clean up the items that do not exist during start up? thanks....

That would be the lvm package(s) you should be able to get a list with dpkg -l | grep lvm* then apt-get --purge remove.

dpkg -l | grep isdn* and then get rid of the packages unless of course you have an ISDN connection..




sr1: CDROM (ioctl) reports ILLEGAL REQUEST.

Something weird with the CD-Rom did you have a disk in it when you booted.


Some other server packages to think about purging.

bind9, dhcp3-server, ftpd, nfs-kernel-server, nis, samba, sslwrap, squid, telnetd-ssl, lisa, apache, brltty, portmap, distcc, nessus (dpkg -l | grep nessus*), shaper and nvtv.

Plus some cleanup of the HD for the unnecessary packages installed.

Kde internationalizations.



apt-get --purge remove kde-i18n-cs kde-i18n-da kde-i18n-de kde-i18n-es kde-i18n-fr kde-i18n-it kde-i18n-ja kde-i18n-nl kde-i18n-pl kde-i18n-ru kde-i18n-tr



X servers not used.



apt-get --purge remove xserver-3dlabs xserver-8514 xserver-agx xserver-common-v3 xserver-i128 xserver-mach32 xserver-mach64 xserver-mach8 xserver-p9000 xserver-s3 xserver-s3v xserver-svga xserver-vga16 xserver-w32




Plus a small package you should install is localepurge to get rid of the excess locales and man pages on the system during the configuration you must unselect all the items marked with a * you do not want I usually leave the en and en_US ones then when it asks you if you want to delete the man pages say yes. You will have to edit the file /etc/locale.gen and remove all the locales except the the ones you selected to keep during the configuration to stop the locales from being regenerated.

Hi Stephen...wow....Lets see.....I probably DID have a music CD in the machine when I booted. So that solves that one.

First, that "LVM" package....I don't know what it is, so I am assuming I can safely remove it with:

dpkg -l | grep lvm* then apt-get --purge remove.

The next one, for an ISDN connection, I assume I can rid myself of by using:


Those other server packages I really dont think I need:

dpkg -l | grep isdn*
bind9, dhcp3-server, ftpd, nfs-kernel-server, nis, samba, sslwrap, squid, telnetd-ssl, lisa, apache, brltty, portmap, distcc, nessus (dpkg -l | grep nessus*), shaper and nvtv.

Next, those KDE internationilizations I will dump with:




apt-get --purge remove kde-i18n-cs kde-i18n-da kde-i18n-de kde-i18n-es kde-i18n-fr kde-i18n-it kde-i18n-ja kde-i18n-nl kde-i18n-pl kde-i18n-ru kde-i18n-tr

Next X-Servers....I dont know anything about those so I assume I can safely dump them with:


apt-get --purge remove xserver-3dlabs xserver-8514 xserver-agx xserver-common-v3 xserver-i128 xserver-mach32 xserver-mach64 xserver-mach8 xserver-p9000 xserver-s3 xserver-s3v xserver-svga xserver-vga16 xserver-w32

I am sure I have the localepurge but wasnt sure how to use it. Well I will do all of the above and hopefully the errors will be gone. Thank you for the advice Stephen....bob

[OErjan]

if you remove the Xservers you wil be left with console alone. not very good. you can remove unused ones but...

[bob58]

OK I havent done anything yet, but how do i know which x servers i dont need? Or should I just leave them alone and do the other stuff?

[OErjan]

remove the ones you get errors on, should be ok, you could always reinstall them if nesesary (from console in worst case).

[Stephen]

OK I havent done anything yet, but how do i know which x servers i dont need? Or should I just leave them alone and do the other stuff?

Unless you have went out of your way to start using Xfree 3.3 instead of the X 4.3 that is normally used then you have nothing to worry about. Oh and the lvm is a logical volume manager (IIRC) and unless you have set one up then you have no worries there either.
