I'm having trouble with mongodb on debian. I'll start from the scratch: removing it.
Code: Select allapt-get autoremove --purge mongodb
Or:
Code: Select allapt-get purge mongodb
Or:
Code: Select allapt-get remove --purge mongodb
All end in the same way:
Code: Select all dpkg: error processing package mongodb-org-server (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 102
Errors were encountered while processing:
mongodb-org-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I want to remove debian from my computer even though I don't have dual boot with windows or anything else,only debian. I accidentally removed windows when I was installing debian so I would really love to get rid of it because its not supportive with a lot programs and games I was using on windows. I heard there are ways to remove it like that but I dont know what I left with if I success and delete debian, what I have without any operative system and could I use my copy of windows 7 from my disk?

I'm learning the apt-get package system, and I'm a little unsure of myself. Before I start removing packages/software, I want to make sure that I'm initially taking the proper approach.
Below is a script that I've used to successfully install Skype into Debian 8.2 "Jessie" 64-bit. (This script is a slightly modified version taken from: wiki.debian.org/skype). I want to know the right way to uninstall it.
Code: Select allsu
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get install libc6:i386 libqt4-dbus:i386 libqt4-network:i386 libqt4-xml:i386 libqtcore4:i386 libqtgui4:i386 libqtwebkit4:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libx11-6:i386 libxext6:i386 libxss1:i386 libxv1:i386 libssl1.0.0:i386 libpulse0:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386
wget -O skype-install.deb [URL]
dpkg -i skype-install.deb
apt-get -f install
Now that I've installed Skype, how do I *UNINSTALL* Skype?
Will the following code completely remove the software added above, or will some "software-residue" be left behind, or will it remove other software that should have been left untouched?
Code: Select allsu
apt-get purge skype libc6:i386 libqt4-dbus:i386 libqt4-network:i386 libqt4-xml:i386 libqtcore4:i386 libqtgui4:i386 libqtwebkit4:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libx11-6:i386 libxext6:i386 libxss1:i386 libxv1:i386 libssl1.0.0:i386 libpulse0:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386
apt-get clean

I cannot uninstall Firefox, nor can I uninstall Chromium; one always stays if the other is uninstalled. For example, if I remove Firefox, Chromium will appear in its place and vice versa. This has got to be one of the weirdest bugs I've ever seen on Ubuntu! So, how can I uninstall both web browsers?

Installed Debian Lenny on a Pentium 3 with 256 MB of ram and a 10GB hard drive. Used the "Expert Graphical" from the install menu. I did not choose any software packages when prompted from the list (the list with the checkboxes next to server, desktop ECT) because I wanted to choose individual packages to install afterwards. Had no issues, computer rebooted and I got to a login prompt.
Logged in as root, I ran "apt-get install" and installed gedit, blackbox from my main window manager, gdm, iceweasel and synaptic (some of these I installed after editing the sources.list file with more repositories.)
All of this is great, even though this computer is old.. I have a nice box to do internet browsing and IRC.
Here is what I do not understand, and I have never seen before in Linux. When I try to install Open Office, synaptic package manager says it "needs to uninstall iceweasel" browser and a few other files and programs. Also this happens if I try to install VLC player. Looks like the reasoning is because some applications are not compatible with others. Is this new? Again, I have never seen this before in Linux.

I just blindly install 'java' in GNU/Linux Debian SID -- so I could use it as a plugin for iceweasel -- Unfortunately, things didn't work as expected. I was used to Debian's APT to take care of things for me as it had done for more years than I could remember. (Being a desktop user/programmer and a beginner system network admin). I want a clean install of java plugin for iceweasel. So I want to remove completely all java related packages --
How do I know which is which and if they are safe to remove without affecting any other part of the system? Now, to install -- what do I need to install in order for iceweasel to have the Java plugin and let java work as it should? I prefer from the Debian package. But if it doesn't work, I'll accept JRE from the java site and install them myself.

I joined about 2 weeks ago because I was going to get an ubuntu 10.04 64 bit vps, but I had troubles installing a hosting panel so I changed to debian lenny and installed ehcp ehcp.net and it's working fine,but I have a problem which you could help me with because ubuntu is based on debian and it's not a big problem to solve. I bought a vps from micohosting and everything is working fine, the vps is still clean, no bandwidth is being used, no cpu and no disk space....However I 472mb of ram which is 90% of what I'm allowed to use...It's my bad because I have installed every feature of ehcp....I didn't though that it's gonna use that much lol.
Now I wanna uninstall some feature, like ffmpeg...So how to do so via ssh or via cpanel? and what feature use the most ram? what do you advise me to uninstall? my site will be some kind of video hosting site...kind of so I need to install flash player guys...but first I wanna uninstall some stuff...
This vps is gonna be used for the demo so later on I'm gonna buy servers....so nobody will be using disk space coz it's a demo and I can control what is being uploaded one more thing guys...as an admin, I created reseller accounts, does that use ram? I don'r think so coz nothing is being uploaded to the site yet....just wanna know what you think

I've been testing Mate since couple of weeks on my Jessie and now I'm convinced that is the perfect DE for me. So I would like to uninstall Gnome 3 without disturbing Mate and my system as well because both DE share many dependencies. If this is very risky I would like at least get rid of all gnome packages which are not shared with Mate.

I installed Debian on a 40GB HD all by itself. I like Debian's stability & security but looks like it'll be a long time before I can use it with flash, so I want to uninstall it for now, or possibly install Ubuntu alongside it. First, how do I uninstall Debian when it's the only OS on the disk; second, is a 40GB HD large enough to run Debian & Ubuntu side-by-side?

I am new to Debian. I have installed Debian on sda1, grub installed in /dev/sda . /dev/sda6 is SalixOs.
My fdisk -l report is this code...
I boot from sda, Debian recognised windows Xp installed on sdb1, but when I choose to boot from it, it simply reboots.
What could be the reason ? I am a newbie, please be patient with me.
I have solve the problem by installing EasyBCD in WinXp and added the Linux entries to it and booting from sdb.(changed in BIOS)
So, is it possible to uninstall GRUB-2 and install GRUB-Legacy ? Would it work on Debian-Squeeze ?

In an attempt to minimize my system when I mark for removal libcups2 using synaptic it asks to install 7 not authenticated packages, however if I choose mark for complete removal it asks to install the same 7 packages and remove every single installed package from epiphany to gimp to zenmap. Any ideas as to whats going on with that?

I run a Home server using Debian, and have been using it as a backup server and using it to host a voice server. I wanted to try streaming music/video so I can enjoy music at remote locations, and I have used VLC media player before, but never on Linux. I located the VLC media player package on the Synaptics Package manger, and told it to download it along with the other additional packages, and it said it had to remove some old packages and incompatible ones as well, so I said go ahead. Well, the screen blanked out at some point during the installation process, so i rebooted the server. Now it will go thru the whole loading process, and where it is supposed to prompt me to log in, it gives me a grey background and my cursor, which does react, but nothing else happens, and the activity light on the server does not flash. I'm not exactly sure what happened, but I would enjoy being able to log back into my server XD
I have some knowledge of how to use and work with Linux, but only from what I have read and messed around with.

I tried to get vmware player 7.6 to work after upgrading from Wheezy to Jessie. I downloaded kernal headers 3.16.0-4-amd 64 as the dialog box said to do. After doing that and attempting to install I got this message “C header files matching your running kernel were not found. Refer to your distribution's documentation for installation instructions.” At this point I wondered if it would be better to try a more recent version of Vmware player. So I downloaded Vmware Player 12.01. I could not get it to open.

I am looking for music player like banshee but do not want mono . Banshee unfortunately requires mono
[Code]...
Obviously have not given all all the deps, but the last 7 odd ones tell you what I mean. If anybody knows of any good music player which has similar functionality as banshee lemme know. Look for two things:-
a. Should be able to play all and any music format (have all the plugins)
b. Should be able to close it and have it in the system tray playing in the background.

I installed Debian Wheezy on an external server. For my purpose I need to install a graphical interface with the following command
Code: Select allsudo apt-get install gnome-core xorg iceweaselNext I need to install xrdp to connect to the server via Remote Desktop Connection. Code: Select allsudo apt-get install xrdp
After that I installed Oracle Database 12c. It was a bigger effort to get the whole system going than initially supposed. As far as I can see it is working now. Finally to use Oracle Enterprise Manager in the Iceweasel Browser I also need to install the flash player. After modifying the sources.list I did that with the following command
Code: Select allsudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree.It installed successfully. Now I started the browser unfortunately it is not working perfectly. Typing in the URL of the Enterprise Manager I can see the site, but there is no text!!! (see the attached picture)

I keep installing Debian Workstation Player on Debian, but it just doesn't open. I think it might have something to do with the VMware kernel modules not being built or something. How can I start troubleshooting this? Also, why isn't VMware packaged? Has no one tried packaging it yet, or is there a more complex reason?
