Skype Notifications - removing Mono possible?

[Bonsaii]

Hi all,

New machine (Thinkpad 410s) and new LMDE 64Bit fresh install, but "old" problem.
Again, Skype notifications aren't working at all.

With the prior system removing Mono did the trick.
If I now want to do the same in Synaptic, a ton of
other packages would be removed as well.

Does any one know, whether Mono can be removed
without breaking the system?

Thanks to all developers and helpers,
I love LMDE,

Bonsaii

Sure, on the default install if you select to remove the package mono-runtime it will remove all of mono's libraries. That is not an issue. Three applications on the default install will get removed as they were built with mono: Banshee (music player), Giver (file sharer), and Tomboy (desktop notes). If you don't use any of these, go ahead an purge mono

Rhythmbox is an easy, mono free, alternative for Banshee. Other alternatives: http://alternativeto.net/software/bansh ... form=linux
For Tomboy there are lots of alternatives also: http://alternativeto.net/software/tombo ... form=linux

Dear Vincent,

Thank you tons for your quick reply.

It worked and now Skype notifications are working as well.

Did I mention that I love LMDE and - more importantly -
the people behind it all?
