I have just updated from 16.04LTS to 18.04LTS & now have 2 software options: The clunky old Ubuntu Software-Centre & Ubuntu Software. Is it recommended and/or safe (wise?) to purge the software-centre & only use Ubuntu Software?

  • I share your opinion! Just read an old post here about a risk of removing ubuntu-desktop if I did. It was from 5 years ago, but I don't want to risk it without asking first. Can I remove the software-centre in terminal?

You can simulate software-center removal to see what will be impacted:



sudo apt -s remove software-center


I don't have it installed so cannot show you what removal would look like.



A simulated install looks like this though:



$ sudo apt -s install software-center
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree 
Reading state information... Done

As you can see it has a great number of dependencies. By comparison ubuntu-software has none that would be removed:



$ sudo apt -s remove ubuntu-software
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree 
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
 ubuntu-software
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Remv ubuntu-software [3.20.5-0ubuntu0.16.04.11]

  • Then how would OP handle this safely as I see a lot of removal?

  • Ok I see all re for xenial so I think it would be safe to remove, then?

  • @GeorgeUdosen That is why we simulate first, see what might happen and then proceed if all looks well. Before making a call OP can update question with -s simulation output.

    @PhilLeslie Nice. The beauty of simulation. There's a lot to like in Linux.

You can simulate software-center removal to see what will be impacted:



sudo apt -s remove software-center


I don't have it installed so cannot show you what removal would look like.



A simulated install looks like this though:



$ sudo apt -s install software-center

  • Then how would OP handle this safely as I see a lot of removal?

  • Ok I see all re for xenial so I think it would be safe to remove, then?

  • @GeorgeUdosen That is why we simulate first, see what might happen and then proceed if all looks well. Before making a call OP can update question with -s simulation output.

    @PhilLeslie Nice. The beauty of simulation. There's a lot to like in Linux.

As you can see it has a great number of dependencies. By comparison ubuntu-software has none that would be removed:



$ sudo apt -s remove ubuntu-software

  • @GeorgeUdosen That is why we simulate first, see what might happen and then proceed if all looks well. Before making a call OP can update question with -s simulation output.

I have an remote sensed image which has 6 bands (including NDVI band), I want to display each band separately, but have no idea how to do. I have seen some questions similar here but none worked for me.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
