Removing window manager

Hi, everyboy
In order to remove a window manager, in my case, xfce4, I just to have to do is,
Pacman --remove xfce4
is it right?
Thanks

First of all, I think orelien's solution is the easiest.
Just an addition; in case you wanna remove such more complex things like
xfce4, gnome or kde it can be kind of tricky. If you know the package with
the highest dependency than pacman -Rc does a pretty good job. Another
way might be to test a pacman -Rc | grep xfce. This works a bit for xfce but
also can be kind of risky because it might take some more packages than
you want. It's probably best to download the abs-tree cd /usr/abs... and
then kde or gnome or unstable/xfce4 and try a pacman -R `/bin/ls`.
To sum it up, there is no perfect easy way to remove them. Some packages
probably always need to be removed manually.

  • Window Manager\Window Manager Group

    Based on customer requirements we need to set Bypass traverse checking rights for our Server 2012 boxes. In doing so we noticed that there is a user or group named Window Manager\Window Manager Group. I have seen references in other threads to this user
    pointing to the SID (S-1-5-90-0), but this is not documented anywhere on Microsoft website that I can find. I used Powershell to list all of the users, and I do not see a user or group on my Server 2012 box that matches this.
    Given no response from Microsoft and no documentation, I cannot effectively decide what I should do with this.
    It looks kind of shady that we are granting rights to a SID / Account that we cannot see, so I am wondering if this is some remnant for a part of Server 2012 that didn't get deployed when the code was released to manufacturing. Can some please confirm that
    it is OK to drop this user or group (not even sure which one it is) from the Bypass Traverse Checking user right?

    Hi,
    Based on my research,it is not recommended to remove the group ‘Window manager\Windows manager group’ from Bypass traverse checking or Increase a process working set.
    • Both the above user rights are utilized in windows 8/2012 for performance impacts.
    • The above mentioned group cannot be added manually to any other groups or no user can be a part of it as it does not resolve in object picker. We cannot even add ACLs to this group.
    • Due to above reasons, it is not a security breach in your environment.
    This group is a virtual group that is present on every Windows 2012 machine. The DWM.EXE that is used to manage he desktop experience runs under the security context of an account under this group and this is used to provide less privilege to the DWM.EXE.
    As such this is not documented anywhere in any of public documents. This is a design decision made by the product team which is part of the architecture of the OS. As such the practice is not to remove this group from both the user rights assignment mentioned.
    How Bypass traverse checking affects performance:
    When you try to access c:\foo\bar\baz\bletch\george.txt, “the rules” say that you need to confirm that the user has traverse access to:
              C:\foo
              C:\foo\bar
              C:\foo\bar\baz
              C:\foo\bar\baz\bletch
    If you didn’t have the “bypass traverse checking” privilege, the system would have to open each of these directories in turn and do an access check to make sure you had access to all the intermediate nodes in the path to the file.  With bypass traverse
    checking, the filesystems skip all those checks and just check to make sure you have your desired access to the file you’re opening.
    How increase a process working set affects performance:
    This settings controls who can increase the working set of a process when in memory. Working set is the data that is resending in the Ram that is visible to the process. This helps in expanding the memory a process stores in RAM thereby reducing page faults
    (paging out memory to virtual memory which will induce delays of copying the memory back to RAM).
    Given the above reasons, I strongly recommend you not to remove ‘Windows manager\Windows manager group’ from Bypass traverse checking as well as increase a process working set user rights assignment.
    Thanks.

  • I need removable storage management on windows 7

    I need  to use NT backup on windows 7 machines, there is an NT backup utility from MS that I have downloaded but I need removable storage management to install the download(RSM). RSM is not available on Windows 7 and I need to know if there is a way
    to download it.

    Hi,
    Removable Storage Manager (RSM) is no longer included in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2. If you want to restore a backup from a tape device, please perform the restore on one of the following operating systems:
    Windows XP
    Windows Server 2003
    Windows Vista
    Windows Server 2008
    The Windows NT Backup Restore Utility for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2 is not intended to remain on computers that are running Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 indefinitely and should be removed once you have restored backups that were made
    on Windows XP and on Windows Server 2003.
    More information, please see:

  • Removable Storage Management in Windows 2008 R2

    Hi,
    Removable Storage Manager option is not available in Add/Remove Features of Server Manager.

    Please help me to enable the RSm in Add/Remove features of Server Manager.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Removable Storage Manager (RSM) is no longer included in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2. When you install the hotfix KB974674, you can use Windows NT Backup Restore Utility to restore backups that are made on Windows XP and on Windows Server 2003.

  • My window manager only starts 50% of the time.

    Hello all, I installed arch about a week ago and it has run perfectly.
    Unfortunately about 2 days ago I have a strange issue that I can't seem to diagnose.
    When I boot my arch install, (dual boot win8 with seperate hard drive), and login using slim, around 50% of the time everything will load up and my panel will show etc.
    The other 50% of the time the desktop brings up just my mouse, I'm using a tiling manager and the hotkeys dont work either which makes me think that .xinit isn't being executed, yet other things in there work fine.
    bspwm is my window manager, slim is my login manager, I looked in xorg.0.log a few times and couldn't find anything.  Any help would be appreciated!
    (Sorry if this is in the wrong place, also ask for any files you need)

    Chazza, using exec is common, but not at all necessary.  Without the exec, the parent shell process just hangs around - this is unneeded, but it does no harm.  One can even put many WMs one after the other with no exec command to run one right after the other.  Or put a few (or just one) WM in a loop with no 'exec' in order to restart the WM without restarting X (this can be seen in the dwm wiki for one example).
    Toqoz, please post (or link to) 2 xorg logs: 1 for a successful run, and one for the failed attempt.
    Heres my /var/log/Xorg.0.log file for a successful boot, couldn't find the xorg folder in ~/.local/share/xorg.

  • How to install Windows on MAC? (Can't see the check box "Install or remove Windows 7 or later version" on Boot Camp Assistant)

    I want to install Windows 7 on my MBP mid 2012 but in Boot Camp does not appear the check box: "Install or remove Windows 7 or later version". I continued with making the USB bootable with Windows 7 but then when I restart and boot with the USB I still can't install Windows because then I receive an error: ""Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of GPT partition style."  
    From OS with Boot Camp I didn't manage to make a partition for Windows instead I made one with Disk Utility (formated FAT).
    After booting from USB that partition was also formated into NTFS necessary for Windows. Still the same error.
    Any idea how to install Windows on my MAC?

  • [SOLVED!] KDE 4.11 - Window Manager seems not to be running?

    Greetings,
    I still seem unable to fix the fact that systemsettings will run. However it will run if you do kdesu systemsettings.
    Doing so I started checking around in it and thought I'd look at the desktop effects, when I was greeted with this:
    So, I am guessing that the window borders and buttons are a figment of my imagination....
    This is after me pretty much starting over with KDE, removing the .kde and .kde4 folders.
    Help?
    Edit: That pic seems to not link right. Yay. Basically it says that effects can not be activated or whatever because a window manager seems not to be running. The irony of it is you can see the fact that there are window borders and buttons and such, evidence of a WM...
    I wonder if there is something here that is related to me not being able to run systemsettings... yet systemsettings will run fine in any other environment - including Gnome Shell.
    Another thing, KDE 4.11 ran great in testing and kde_unstable. Once it went to extra, things happened. I find that odd. Maybe something is missing on my end that most archers already have?
    Edit2: fixed image link

    No omeringen, Nvidia user.
    I can try again Thaodan since I've had some updates come through (and weeded out some dot files). Last time I tried I saw OpenGL 2 selected. Trying to change to 3 or anything else also got the screenshot in my OP.
    I'll log into KDE and see if it still does the same, after a brief check for last minute updates.
    EDIT: OK, so I can mark this as solved. I found an odd dot file, who's name excapes me but deals with kde sessions, just sitting around in the home folder. Once I deleted it and restarted, I found that not only System Settings finally ran again as a user, but I could also change and apply desktop effects. Peculiar. I thought that maybe it was a dot file that was causing the problem, that wasn't in the .kde or .kde4 folder. It just took finding it and removing it.
    I wish I knew more to tell, but this at least solves my issue, and the issue with the non-running-as-user system settings I had posted in another thread (thinking that they were separate events. Thanks again for all your help guys!

  • Looking for "Window Manager\Window Manager Group" SID

    Hi. I am trying to find the SID for "Windows Manager\Window Manager Group". If anyone has that, I'd appreciate it. I am trying to build my "base build" Security Template for Server 2012, and I need to assign the default User Rights to that group, as it is
    out-of-the-box. Problem is that the GUI does not accept that group name as valid, but I can see that the group is assigned user rights in the Local Security Policy. I typically just use a file ACL to do this (add the ACE and then run
    icacls to get the SID), but that group name is not valid within that tool either. My guess if that this new "Windows Manager\Window Manager Group" group is a well-known SID. Thanks.

    Ironically the SID is not listed on Microsoft's web page for well know
    SIDs. I also noticed that when I dump the local users using powershell, every group and user is listed that I would expect to see, but this one is not in that list. It seems like it should be pretty easy for Microsoft to say what this does and when it can
    be safely removed...
    I figure one of two possibilities. Either this only matters when a specific feature is installed / active, or it is some remnant from development for a feature or implementation that didn't make it into the release to manufacturing. What ever the case it
    would be nice if we could get clarification.

  • Using kwin 5 as lxqt window manager

    Hello,
    Is it possibile to point lxqt to a window manager not displayed in it's config gui? It detected Openbox and kwin 4.13 when they were installed, but I'd like to try and use kwin 4.96 from kde-unstable repo since it has less dependencies and is possibly faster, but when I browse for "/opt/bin/kf5/kwin" from lxqt session settings it boots to a blank screen with not even mouse poiter displayed.
    Thanks in advance for all help.
    Cheers.

    Railarian wrote:Only that now I can't set wallpaper... It's selected in lxqt config, but my screen is just plain grey (like my colour theme) no matter how many times I change it. I already removed
    Cheers.
    I had the wallpaper issue as well. I know this is a bit late since you mentioned the issue, but I found a solution, and maybe it'll help the next person. I found that I could set the wallpaper if I installed pcmanfm-qt-git ( I don't know if the non-git version works for this or not, I didn't try it ) from the AUR.

  • Subtle - another tiling window manager

    It's been a while since the first subtle AUR package came up and there was never neither an introduction nor a thread here in the forum. Time to get this started and to hopefully get opinions/feedback of the of users who already gave/want to give subtle a try.
    For all of you who never heared about subtle - here comes the intro:
    subtle is another tiling window manager on the field with a grid-based manual tiling window manager with a strong focus on easy but customizable look and feel. In comparison to other tiling windows managers, subtle has no automatic tiling of the screen size in any way, instead windows are arranged according to positions inside of a grid - these positions are called gravities - which can completely be controlled with key bindings.
    subtle also has a Ruby based config with support for lambdas as key bind actions, a wmctrl-like commandline tool (subtler) to interact with subtle and an extension (subtlext) for Ruby that is capable of doing the same and even more!
    There are also small Ruby applets (sublets) that can show various stuff like system load and the time. The management of these scripts can be done with sur (Subtle User Repository) - a small command line script similar to gem which makes installing of a subtlet a piece of cake e.g.:
    sur install clock
    Windows placement and window properties are determined by a complete tagging system for clients and views and can be manipulated in the config and/or per runtime with subtler/subtlext.
    Features
    - Ruby integration for config/key actions and hooks
    - Flexible panels with loadable Ruby scripts (sublets)
    - Integrated System tray
    - Complete tagging system
    - ICCM/EWMH-compliant
    - Lightweight
    Screenshots
    Install
    The AUR packages: subtle subtle-hg sur-hg
    I would suggest to pick the subtle-hg package to get the latest changes.
    Contact
    If you have problems, suggestions or just want to talk about subtle feel free to join #subtle on irc.freenode.org or drop a mail to unexist at dorfelite dot net.

    I love this gravity idea but the WM in it's current state would not allow me to be productive (no offense) and I have a distaste for ruby ( love python ) but I'm willing to grow.  However, here are my comments:
    1) being able to tweak the gravity settings would be nice, and per-tag.  I like to have a big left window (stacked) and a column of two windows on the right.  I use wmii and this does this OK by dividing the right column.  My one grip is the I could stack on the right, but I couldn't divide AND stack.  I see the potential for that w/ subtle.  Here is my current ss: http://static.milkbox.net/ss/ss-2009-05-06.png
    2) it would be nice if you could have movement between gravities.  I'd like to move between columns.  And my gripe about like, musca and ratpoison is that when i do move between columns it doesn't keep track of the previous vertical position.  Starting with the bottom right focused, moving to the left, and then moving back to the right focuses me in the top right.  I think it would be _REALLY_ cool if you had some sort of column based movement (left gravity, center gravity, right gravity) that would cycle, and also movement up through the stack.  Not sure how this would work.
    3) I prefer that new windows are created with the same gravity as the windows already open.  I would guess this is fairly easy to do.
    4) switch to python... I AM KIDDING.  but seriously, i know it'll never happen but that's cool.  I just wanted to post this #4!...
    anyways, keep up the good work.
    1 + 2) What do you mean with 'per tag'? You can assign gravity tags to clients witht he config so that any layout is possible and you can freely create your own movement stuff with the grabs. Subtlext gives you control over gravities of the clients. Yes, it's Ruby and I won't argue about like you did in 4) - it's a matter of taste and I really like Ruby.
    3) So just to understand this: If you set the top left gravity to a client, you would prefer that the next client also gets top left gravity?
    Wra!th wrote:Floating windows need to be stackable (egbe able to bring one infront of another using the mouse)
    Well, actually this was in subtle but was removed in favor for the WindowRaise and WindowLower grab that allows e.g. to cycle through windows with center gravity.
    milomouse wrote:A smaller complaint, which may or may not be due to my own ignorance, is that switching views (jump) with the shortcut seems to be a little picky. Sometimes I can use the shortcut to switch views and sometimes it refuses to work. Seems to happen mostly when I'm on an empty view and try to switch (with the shortcut) to another . I don't know if it loses focus or what. Anyway, these are minor compared to my enjoyment with Subtle so far. Thanks again.
    Oh, yes. I will fix it shortly tomorrow - you may write a ticket for it so that you can see when it's fixed.

    Hi There,
    I am trying to install Windows Management Framework 4.0 in Windows 7 SP1 (x64). I have already installed .Net Framework 4.5. When I double click on the installer file "Windows6.1-KB2819745-x64-MultiPkg.msu", it does not install & throws the
    below error message.
    "Some updates were not installed. The following updates were not installed: Update for Windows (KB2819745)".
    Can some one help me with this issue? 
    Thanks

    Hello,
    is you system clock set to right time
    If so can you check what happens if you remove the check box from your Internet Security settings during the installation
    Don't forget to put it back on after you install.
    If the installation still fails right click the package and select "properties" check "digital signatures" and there details, view certificate. Does it say "This certificate is OK." If you get error there It also might bee that
    you need to update your Root certificates: check out this links:

  • Message: we can't remove windows accounts

    We have installed Office 2013 Pro Plus via our E3 O365 subscription. It automatically connects the components (Word, Excel, ...) to the domain user account [email protected] in
    our case.
    We want to get rid of that account and connect Word, etc to the O365 account of each user.
    It turns out that we misspelled the name of a new user in Active Directory. We corrected the error in the name in AD, but the name still has the error in Word, and other Office programs. Where can we correct the name or how can we get rid of this account and
    change it in the O365 account?
    We can setup a connection to the O365 account but everytime an old document (= created/opened earlier with a connection to the .local account) is opened it hooks up to the .local (domain account).
    We can not sign out of the .local account, then we get "We can't remove Windows accounts"
    A solution is really appreciated.!

    Because once you use Disk Utility to do any repartitioning after creating the BC partition, then BCA cannot manage the disk any more. Too bad you did not first read the BC documentation that you can print out from BCA.
    What you need to do:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

  • Can't Remove Workflow Manager 1.0 from "Programs and Features"

    I'm trying to Uninstall Workflow Manager 1.0 from "Programs and Features" in the Control Panel. It was part of a failed installation on a SharePoint Server. The Service Bus, Workflow Client, and Windows Fabric all installed fine but when I try
    to uninstall "Workflow Manager 1.0" Windows Server responds with "The computer is part of a farm. To uninstall, first leave the farm either using "Leave from Farm" option in Configuration Wizard or "Remove-WFHost" cmd-let
    in PowerShell."
    The Deployment Wizard "Leave the Farm" option is not working and I subsequently deleted it. And when I try to run "Remove-WFHost" PowerShell says "The term Remove-WFHost is not recognized. . ."
    The Workflow proxy in the Service Applications of the SharePoint installation has been deleted.
    Any idea how I can remove Workflow Manager 1.0?
    I need to get rid of Workflow Manager 1.0 so that I can start the installation again and hopefully get it installed correctly. . .
    Thanks,
    Kathryn

    Hi Kathryn, 
    I had that issue some time ago and the the only way I found to get rid of it was: 
    Delete the Windows Registry entry KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Workflow Manager
    Try uninstalling it again.
    I hope it helps.

  • Safe to remove Windows 7 and install XP instead?

    Hi,
    I've been thinking about something recently; I probably won't do this until a while, but for now, it's just an idea.  I'm using Linux Ubuntu on my Lenovo Thinkpad E420, and it really work like a dream.  I use Windows 7 way less, and I only keep it for a few reasons.
    I find it too bad that Windows 7 use so much disk space, however!  20GB for the system alone, in fact (For Ubuntu, it's 4.5GB, with all the softwares).  I'm sure Windows XP will do the same job that Windows 7, even running a specific game that wouldn't work under Seven.
    I know you're all wondering why would I use Windows XP when his support is ending in 2 years?  Well, instead of using 20GB, the system will use only 1.5GB.  That's 18.5 GB of Extra for Ubuntu.  It also demand way less ressources than Windows 7.  I do not plan on browsing on Windows XP, I'll do this in Ubuntu.  Simply put, the only stuff I'm going to do on XP are:
    - Playing a few games (The most recent game being 2007);
    - Using Adobe Creative Suite CS5 (Along with Adobe Premiere and AfterEffect CS4, maybe);
    - Maybe using Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010 (Run well in Ubuntu using Wine);
    I know a lot of people still using Adobe Creative Suite CS3 while CS6 is out, so I don't see the problem of still using CS5 even when CS8 will be released.  And CS6 is supported for XP as well (Except for Premiere and AfterEffect).
    The only disadvantage I could think of is that Windows XP x64 would manage only 2 of my 4 CPUs..  Will this be noticeable on performances?
    So I was wondering about this, will it be safe to remove Windows 7 and install XP x64 instead?  Did the 1GB "System_DRV" partition still be necessary?
    I am also aware that installing XP will erase GRUB bootloader for Linux, but I know the way to restore it.  I also burned my recovery DVDs from Windows 7.
    Thanks for your advice!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I've been doing some ressearch, and I found out that as much odd as it seems, Windows Server 2003 would be a better choice.  Because the 32-Bit version would be able to manage my 8GB of RAM and my 4 CPUs without problem, unlike XP.  I also thought that Server 2003 would use less battery than XP.
    So I created another NTFS partition to install Server 2003, check if this work before removing Windows 7 !
    To make the setup boot proprely, I had to set the hard-disk to "Compatibility Mode" in the BIOS, otherwise I would get a BSOD (Same for XP).
    The first part of the setup was successful, the files were correctly copied to the Windows 2003 partition I chose.  Then my laptop rebooted, and Server 2003 got.. confused.  Server 2003 would have proceeded to the second part of the installation, but booted from the first partition used by Windows 7.
    As I was expecting, Windows Server 2003 deleted Windows 7 bootloader as well as GRUB for Linux.
    I succesfully restored Windows 7 bootloader, and I am able to boot to Linux using my CD of GRUB.  I'm now going to restore GRUB, but something unexpected happened.
    For some reason, GParted - the partition editor for Linux - wouldn't see anymore partition.  I'll have to check how to fix this on the Ubuntu Forums.  The partitions are still there, just no more visible by GParted - There are visible by Windows 7 and my GRUB CD, however.
    There's something else I would like to understand as well; Windows Server 2003 randomly messed up something else: The files got copied in the right partition, but why did it randomly deleted my Lenovo_Recovery partition (Which was the last on the disk)?  Is there a reason for that?
    So here's the main question of my post: is there a way to recover this partition?  It's not visible by Windows 7, not by GRUB as well.  Why was this partition used for, exactly?
    I should mention that I still have my recovery DVDs I burned from Windows 7.  Was this partition still required?
    Thanks for the reply.
    I think I'll have to stick with Windows 7, then. XD  In fact, I'm "lucky" Server 2003 haven't deleted anything else (I do have a full image of Linux).
