I recently installed Splunk on my Fedora 12 machine. It is not working properly and I also don't like where I installed it which was in my downloads folder some how. I cannot figure out how to uninstall this package and the Splunk Doc's are pretty weak.

I have installed db2 express-c on Ubuntu 10.04 server using apt-get; the installation is successful but I noticed that libasound2-dev package has been installed along with db2.I don't want this ALSA sound package, when I tried to remove it by "apt-get remove" it was trying to uninstall DB2 as well as there is a dependency. So, how do I remove ALSA package without removing DB2 ?PS: Also, db2 installed X11 packages like libx11-dev, libxproto-core-dev etc., which are also not need for me as it is a sever OS.

I have installed, actually just tried to, BSecPKLinux-2.0.0.0007 as token utility, but the attempt screwed my synaptic. I'm using a ubuntu 10.10.While running the install file, a package failed to install and from then on I was never able to fix this. the package is rnboifd. When i try to uninstall it or purge it using dpkg it complains it is in a "very bad inestable state" and should reinstalled. when trying to reinstall fails.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a formal documented way? I have found a method of doing it, but I find it difficult to believe the ability to uninstall is not formally supported. [URL]
Essentially:
When you install - python setup.py install --record files.txt
When you uninstall - cat files.txt | xargs rm -rf
This will, however, require the user to look through files.txt like a hawk. It is really not an ideal situation I would think.
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.

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.

I just installed Linux Mint Debian on my computer and I (heart) it! Everything works perfect but two thing bothers me.
After I updated my system I have some programs I want to uninstall like Evolution, but when I try to, gnome-core and gnome-control-center is deleted too. Is there a way to make it NOT remove those, like a general method?
The next thing thats bothers me is when I uninstall Firefox, another browser is automatically installed. How do I remove firefox without something else is automatically installed?
My interest in Linux started in 99-ish, with Slackware, of course. I gave up on it because my English and computer skills weren't as good so I couldn't make ppp run After that I've tried Red Hat, Knoppix for experimenting mostly. More recently I've tried OpenSUSE and Ubuntu (which were somewhat strange and Windowsified) and then went back to Slackware because I've read and heard that this is what Linux should be.My current Linux "achievements" are compiling a kernel (2.6.34 now, from 2.6.29-6 stock) which made me learn why VESA console support and sky2 device driver are important Ummm, also running Samba and mediatomb and disabling PCMCIA and ACPI crap from init scripts.
After the latest reinstall of Slack, I downloaded the gcc 4.5 source, compiled it and installed it. So while browsing around with pkgtool, I noticed it still says gcc is 4.3.3 so I am planning on removing gcc with pkgtool (after compiling the source) and then, install it again. Which leads me to my question: how to uninstall a program I've installed via "make install" I vaguely recall few sources that also had "make uninstall" but I also tried it on something (I know "something" is really helpful) few days ago and it said there was no rule for 'uninstall'So, how do I uninstall stuff?Obviously reading what "make install" installs and erasing it manually will be a one albeit crude way of doing so.
I'm still struggling with the LFS and don't understand where to find the "make uninstall" file for software I've installed that I may uninstall it.
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and understand installing/removing .deb packages - that's straightforward. The problem I'm having are files that end in ".sh" or ".bin" , ".run" etc. or, the tar balls I download (I guess I would be compiling from source if I use these?)
I know sometimes they have an option like "--uninstall" but not all of them do. I know about the "make uninstall" command but this is where I get confused. Let's say, for instance, I download "foo.tar.bz2", decompress it, configure, make, install - is the "make uninstall" installed into the same folder where the rest of the program is installed, or was it created in the folder where I ran "./configure"? I've been looking in the folders of installed applications and none of them have this "make uninstall" file I keep reading about.
Is there a procedure I should follow as a rule of thumb when installing from .tar file? (Once again, I'm not sure if this is called 'compiling from source' so if someone would correct my understanding it would be a great help) Is the idea to configure, make, install then delete that folder because the software is installed, or do I keep that decompressed folder for later use if I have to uninstall?
