Fedora :: Removing A Program Installed Under Wine?
Jan 29, 2011
I attempted to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 under Wine and it failed. Then I read a thread that offered some tweaks. But now when I try to install all that it offers to do is UNinstall. I thought I could UNinstall and then reinstall, but no...It fails to UNinstall too...just as it failed to install. So I'm wondering how to remove this (the command line way) from the system. I tried "yum remove wine" and when I put wine back, like a phantom, the same problem was there. I tried removing the entire .wine directory in my home folder...same problem.
I am new to fedora and installed wine to see if I could get the sony reader software working (required to access sony bookstore from my sony ereader). Well the program did not work though it did create icons on my desktop. wine kept crashing and I said lets just get rid of it. I uninstalled wine via yum remove and nothing appeared to happen so I did rpm -qa |grep wine and saw lots of stuff. So I simply did yum remove wine* and then a rpm -qa |grep wine was empty. however wine is still under applications on my desktop and still has a category for programs--reader. I should also mention that while wine was installed I attempted to remove the reader via the wine uninstalller but a) wine gave a message of a core crash and b) all the uninstaller did was give me the option to reinstall the reader program. so now when I attempt to open an epub it tries with the sony reader software. I know I can just right click to use another program but for now I want wine gone completely from my pc and the sony program gone.
I installed a game (Shredder 11) using Wine on my Ubuntu system. The installation seemed to go well, including the directx part, but when I want to run the game, I can't find it anywhere. It's not in Applications -> Wine, it's not on Wine's C: drive, and I even tried a search "find / -name shredder", which came up empty. I tried to install it again, but according to the installation program it is already installed! (It asked me if I wanted to modify, repair, etc..).
My Proteus which i installed through wine does not appear in uninstall wine software and it also does not work because you have to execute some license file which i did not figure out how to work it out.
I only use it to run a program off of CD, not an installed application. This same program ran fine with wine under Fedora 10 & 11, but not on Fedora 12. I installed wine with:
Code: yum install wine as root. When I try to execute the program, it shows the little bouncing wine icon and all, but then wine disappears. Also, when I looked at the wine configuration, the configuration program crashed/hung. I had to kill it via the System Monitor. I'm on a KDE desktop with hardware acceleration, and Fedora 12 x86_64.
How can I uninstall / purge wine and any wine installed windows programs?I've tried deleting .wine (hidden folder)but in /usr/bin/ there are a number of wine related files.And wine sub menu still appears in Applications menu
I installed WINE, and decided to remove it after installing something, I was unable to uninstall, so I just removed WINE, now, I have the program stuck in my main menu. I deleted the path and stuff, but it's still there. How do I get rid of it?
When I install wine the add/remove program wants to install both 86_64 and i686 files. I have the x86_64 version of Fedora 14. I am having problems with counterstrike and have installed it using Wine, have noted problems when both types of files are installed.
I would like to have Fedora set up just right but as with all Linux distros, am having trouble keeping my head above water with fc14. I have success up to a point and then want to go back to Windows for its simplicity. Just this wine problem
Im having a little problem removing wine programs.
Firstly i tried going into the wine menu and selecting uninstall under the programs tab in the menu, it said it was successfully uninstalled but if failed to remove anything.
Then i tried "uninstall wine software" under the wine tab and that still didn't change anything.
Finally i tried removing wine itself with "sudo apt-get remove wine" again it said wine was successfully removed, and again nothing changed wine and all its programs are still here.
I just removed wine, I want it completely removed from my system. I installed it and removed it using the Software Center. However I still have associated options in the Nautilus context menu. For example when I right click any text file I have "Open With notepad" as an option. It's easy enough to right click that file, go to the open with tab, and remove notepad from the list of options. However it's apparently associated with certain types of files because the option was there for bash scripts I'd written with no extension, files with the .txt extension, etc. So this is apparently some file associations that wine installed and didn't take out. I've searched the xml files in /usr/share/nautilus/ui and none of those contained the word "notepad" so I'm guessing that's not where I need to be focusing my attention. I've done some googling and nobody seems have a definitive answer that I can find. Also, I found a "how to uninstall" on Wine's website where it basically just had me remove $HOME/.wine and some gnome association settings, and I did that and have even rebooted and that option was still there. I've removed it for those two types of files, but I want to know where it's stored so I can get rid of all traces.
I have no need for libwine-print, nor cups. I noticed this issue while trying to remove cups. It's a box with no printer and will never see one, so I see no need to have it. I know it's not using much space, but I don't want it if I don't need it. Is there a way to remove libwine-print without removing wine?
Code:
Shelly:~# dpkg -P cups cups-bsd cups-client cups-common cups-driver-gutenprint cupsddk cupsddk-drivers (Reading database ... 228913 files and directories currently installed.) Removing cups ... Stopping Common Unix Printing System: cupsd. Purging configuration files for cups ...
I Installed wine and starcraft recently, which I have been able to run before but It didn't like my new computer. Whatever, Starcraft 2 comes out soon and I have played my fair share of broodwar, so i decided to uninstall it. I removedarcraft from wine and then wine itself, however my Gnome-Do still has the shortcut/iconor starcraft when I type it in. Im guessing i need to go into gconfig-editor to fix it, but Im not brave enough to venture in without any advice before hand.
i have installed packets for running G++ command but when i compiled the .cpp file it was showing iostream.h file not found then i remove .h extentions from #include <iostream.h> and all other include headers as well in cpp source file then this iostream.h not found option gone but still some files are missing and my program is not running
These should be my last pleas for help with regard to Fedora 13. I've been unable to turn off the notifications that appear in the top right corner, despite a decent amount of searching on google. I can't remove any notifications package without removing a bunch of important software along with it. Also, F13 refuses to "Safely Remove" either of my external disks. I have to yank out the usb cord, touching wood each time.
I want to remove a program installed in the opt file on the root directory. It is a program I installed with adobe air just to see if it worked. It does but now I don't know how to remove it.
How hard can it be to delete a program in debian. search the web to check that i am doing the right thing to from the start to uinstall and still the program hangs thereOkey this is what i have done.
I just installed CentOS 5.4 using the Server option. Most of our systems are currently Novell SLES but I am trying to experiment a little and see if we can't switch to CentOS. Forum support here is awesome! Hopefully, someday soon I'll be able to lend a hand on the forums and help out new users as well. Anyways, back to my original post. Once I installed CentOS I run yum grouplist and get the following:
[Code].....
I am a bit confused. The Installed Groups represent what is installed? If so, how do I remove items like DNS Name Server, Dialup Networking Support, etc. Also, what is the easiest way to remove or view these items with and without a gui?
Hoping for some verification before I proceed.An alt kernel was installed side by side with the current mainstream kernel during an experimental NIC driver install. Unfortunately, since the experiment failed I would now like to remove all traces of the alt kernel since it was given a version ahead of the current main version and I would like to avoid all possibilities of contention should a future kernel upgrade use the experimental alt kernel's version number.
I had added a repo from this site: [URL]...now, i have removed the repo as i dont want to use the software anymore, but how do i make sure that i have removed everything on my pc installed from that repo?

I have Burg installed and it's great! But like what GRUB does, I don't like the timeout thing (having only 10 seconds to decide). I actually want to get rid of the 10 seconds and make it infinite seconds during startup, mainly because I usually turn on my laptop and turn away to do something else. so how do I get rid of the time? I haven't been able to find any related results in Google or here in the forums.
I've downloaded and installed WINE, works well with most windows programs I run. I recently downloaded a program called METT (micro expression training tool), and apparently it needs a disc to be ran. Well, I installed KISO and mounted the image there, but I still can't get it to run.
I have wine installed on Ubuntu 10.04. I am trying to get Quicken 2004 installed with the installation cd. I open the cd to go to the Install.exe file. Right click on the that file and tell it to: Open with wine windows program loader. I get the following window:The file '/media/QW04BASR1/install.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.Ok, I go to read about executable bit. Looks like I need to change the permission of it. Won't let me do it. Says:Sorry, could not change the permissions of "install.exe": Error setting permissions: Read-only file system Ok, look up and see that it is a read only. Click to change that to the only other option: Read & Write. What do I need to do here? I have never had this problem installing Quicken in wine before using previous versions of Ubuntu.
I recently got a new netbook and the first thing I did was install ubuntu along side the XP install. The problem I'm running into right now is when I try to install a statistics program that I need for class I get an error. There is a popup labeled RegUtil with the error "Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument" and in the terminal window there is the message "wine: cannot find L"C:\windows\system32\netsh.exe."
