I usually use portage(a type of package manager for Gentoo). It's easy to install and unistall programs.
However, I sometimes install programs from source for various reasons. The installation is fine but how do I remove them?
Do I just delete all the files or is there more to it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got the following problem: I just noticed that there were just very few notifications about updating the system (usually there are damn many of them in a week) So I opened the update manager and clicked on "refresh list". The following result popped up: p,li{white-space:pre-wrap;}E: Error http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main/Sources Sources 404 Not Found First I thought, it would be just some kind of server problem, but it didn't stop. The next thing was to research the thread and I even found something. However, the solution suggested didn't work at all. (Things, which might have caused this: I installed the default software center |I'm using Kubuntu, but in this case that fact doesn't matter| and used it. To sum up:
- not able to update the system referring to the launchpad main sources for 11.04
- following error: E: Error http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main/Sources Sources 404 Not Found It would be great if this was a common issue and I've been simply too stupid to find a proper solution. So you could just post the link.
I am running Jolicloud on my netbook (which I believe is an Ubuntu derivative) and I am tried to enter the getdeb.net sources in so I can install apps from the website through APT but
1) When I entered the sources into sources.list and then the key into Terminal and then went to the site and tried to install an app it didn't work.
2) I deleted the line of code in the sources.list file and when I opened terminal and entered "sudo apt-get update" it showed the list of sources, but on the list were Getdeb.net sources.
My question is how do I delete sources that aren't in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
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?
View 6 Replies View RelatedIn a typical sources.list in a Debian-based distro, I see a line that begins with "deb," and right below it, the same repo preceded by "deb-src." I can figure out that that means "Debian source," but what's the difference between a "deb" and a "deb-src"?
My current sources.list has almost all the deb-src lines removed; I believe I did that at some point because Synaptic was giving me error messages over there being too many entries in my sources.list, and I must have thought the deb-src lines were redundant. I assume I was wrong, eh? The deb-src lines must be there for a reason. I might not have been certain the error messages were due to having too many sources, either; maybe that was only my guess.
I am using Suse EL 10.2 on IBM cloud, and need to install basic packages such as gcc, zlib, etc. Is there any official Suse 10 sources that I can use?

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. how to adjust sources.list
19:25 into this video has a question about back-ups:[URL].. it is basically asking how to save files from different sources (mac harddrive, windows harddrive, sd-card, cd's) and they want to ensure pictures from a digital camera dont get overwritten (there are multiple 001.jpg, 002.jpg, ... files -- maybe md5sum will help here).
i assume rsync would be good in this case but i am not sure what the syntax would be. i also assume that the rsync command is available for mac (i am more of an scp guy) but i have been proven wrong on assuming bash compatability between linux/ os-x before.
Is there a way to keep the application sources after being installed by Software Manager(using Linux Mint)?

I need to download the Kernel sources add a few lines and then recompile and install the new files. I found the following lines that are suppose to do it on nVidia's forums:
Code:
# Install Kernel Sources
sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-2.6.24-17-rt
sudo apt-get source linux-image-2.6.24-17-rt[code]........
what the Kernel Module Source packages are called?... This guide I am trying to follow is obviously dated but it is the only solid lead I have been able to find towards making my ram work...This is the original thread on the NVNEWs boards: Unable to install Nvidia driver on 9500M + Ubuntu - Page 2 - nV News Forums,Read through that thread I linked to the NVidia forums for a detailed run down of what is wrong.
The semi short version: There is some sort of issue with the NVidia driver on the G1Sn (and several other Asus Models) and the way the Linux Kernel address memory, the issue results in not being able to use more than 2 Gigs of ram with the Nivida drivers. There is a patch (again check the nvidia forum link) that people said they had applied to fix this issue. At this point I am seriously considering Vista again if I can't get this working I love Ubuntu but I hate having my hardware limited by my software...where to download the files I need to recompile in the Kernel with the patch I need for my ram to work?
I tried posting there but it seems like the thread is long dead.. how I can download the needed files and maybe how I add these lines to it?I also started a thread on the ubuntu forums here: [ubuntu] Downloading Current Kernel Sources.
It has been years since I have need to compile the kernel or its modules. Here goes: I recently upgraded to ubuntu 10.10 and needed the kernel source and its modules source. The relevant directories are in a mess. Several diff versions, broken links, the works. Is there a nice easy way, to remove all of the sources, there, and err "install" the ones for my latest kernel, in the correct places. Then I might have a chance at getting the two modules I need complied! Nvidia being one for the geforce 4 mx420 nv17

PD: I got Germany Debian servers because they are pretty fast nothing more and also I am running on my Desktop Xfce4 that I loved, but, I would like to know if there is any repository for updates on this wonderfull Desktop Enviroment.
Is there some catalog or something to distinguish and choose sources for sources.list file in Debian? Currently mine are
Code:
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.3 _Lenny_ - Official i386 DVD Binary-1 20090905-08:48]/ lenny contrib main
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.3 _Lenny_ - Official i386 DVD Binary-2 20090905-08:48]/ lenny contrib main

deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.3 Update DVD 20090907: i386 DVD 1]/ lenny contrib main non-free
but I want to use EXACTLY the same from internet - for the same version.
Also what mean non-free, contrib, main and other parameters?
It's always a good to backup a configuration file like sources.list before you edit it. To do so, issue the following command: sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup Where does it backup to and how do I access it? I want to put the backup on removable disk or upload it

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?
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.
