KNOTES UBUNTU INSTALL

Open a terminal Applications → Accessories → Terminal and enter this command sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop If you have installed Ubuntu and wanted to try Kubuntu by installing kubuntu-desktop or Xubuntu by installing xubuntu-desktop and have now changed your mind and want to go back to a default Ubuntu Gnome install, you should follow these instructions.
KNOTES UBUNTU UPDATE
So then I tried sudo apt-get update which I hoped would replace mysql-common with mariadb-common but it didn't.This article needs updating to include the latest versions of Ubuntu. I don't know if I should just leave mysql-common and install mariadb-common alongside it or if there are any other options to perform the drop-in replacement without removing all that depends on mysql-common.Įdit: I did apt-cache policy mysql-common which showed: mysql-common: So as you can see, things like kaddressbook, knotes, mysql-workbench, etc. Libmysqlclient18* libmysqlcppconn7v5* libqt4-sql-mysql* libqt5sql5-mysql* mysql-client* mysql-client-5.6* mysql-common* mysql-workbench* Odbcinst1debian2 proj-bin proj-data python-ecdsa nnector python-paramiko python-pexpect python-pyodbcĪccountwizard* akonadi-backend-mysql* akonadi-server* akregator* amarok* amarok-utils* kaddressbook* kdepim-runtime* kmail* knotes* kontact* korganizer* libdbd-mysql-perl* libgdal1i* Libnetcdf7 libodbc1 libogdi3.2 libopenjp2-7 libpq5 libproj9 libspatialite7 libsuperlu4 libterm-readkey-perl liburiparser1 libvsqlitepp3v5 mysql-utilities mysql-workbench-data odbcinst Libarmadillo5 libctemplate2v5 libdap17v5 libdapclient6v5 libdbi-perl libepsilon1 libfreexl1 libgeos-3.5.0 libgeos-c1v5 libhdf4-0-alt libkmlbase1 libkmldom1 libkmlengine1 liblwgeom-2.1.8 libminizip1 The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

In Ubuntu (Actually Kubuntu) 15.10 (Wily) attempting to install MariaDB 10.1 all instructions say to first remove mysql-client and mysql-common packages via sudo apt-get remove mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common and passing the -s flag (sudo apt-get -s remove mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common) shows that to remove mysql-common will also result in several other packages being removed that one would not want gone.
