I updated to Maverick back on the 9th, but just today it seems Gedit has gone and renamed itself to 'Text Editor'. The About menu still says Gedit, it still displays 'gedit' in the title bar, but I can no longer activate it by typing in 'gedit' into gnome-do. Any ideas why Gedit has been renamed, and how can I revert the change so that everything will work properly again?
|
I guess it's Canonical's effort to genericize the application names.

Ack. So, I'm new to ubuntu, but I want to reinstall screen (it's complaining about /var/run/screen not existing, and I'm hoping a reinstall will fix it). Running 'sudo apt-get remove screen' tells me that it's going to remove ubuntu-desktop, boxee, byobu AND screen. Why is it trying to remove stuff I want?
|
why dont you just make the directory that screen is asking for?

What tools exist for making HTML websites on ubuntu (like Dreamweaver)?
|
There isn't really a dreamweaver equivalent as far as I know. I did use BlueFish and thought it was good.
