General :: Uninstall Packages When They Are Installed From .run .bin Or .sh ?
Mar 1, 2010
Is there any standard procedure to uninstall software packages which have the above extensions?
I know how to uninstall through yum or apt-get.. but how to tackle these files?
Like Nvidia drivers comes in .run adobeAIR comes in .bin netbeans in .sh
And what if i have installed from source i.e tar balls? are there some protocols to follow?
I think it may sound a lame question but i was wondering about this since days coz i want to remove some of the apps from my laptop..

I am trying to uninstall the packages that were installed as part of kubuntu desktop. I have gotten ~3 quarters of them, but didn't know if there was a better way than trying to pore over synaptic.

I just installed CentOS 5.4 Final on a 64 bit system. After install, I found a lot of 32 bit packages are also installed. Is it necessary for a pure 64 bit system to run (let's say, I will never want to run any 32 bit app on this system), or is it something I could have avoided during install?

I am learning image processing and hence using opencv-2.2.0. I am following the link [URL] to install this. But even the first command to install build-essential.
Code:
apt-get install build-essential
is giving following errors...
Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
build-essential: Depends: gcc (>= 4:4.4.3) but 4:4.4.1-1ubuntu2 is to be installed
Depends: g++ (>= 4:4.4.3) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.5) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

I need to replicate my Ubuntu laptop as a VirtualBox guest. To replicate in the guest the packages currently installed in my laptop, I plan to follow the recipe given here:[URL]What I need now is a way to identify all the packages that have customizations (e.g. changes to config files, etc.)What's the best way to do this? Can dpkg figure this information out and report it?

i read somewhere (I think an article by AlienBob) that you needed to make sure .tgz packages where located in a safe place as opposed to the home directory so as to prevent accidental deletion.
I have a number of .tgz packages that I have already installed and moved to the /bin/ directory for safe keeping, but its not very orderly, ya' know?
Is it safe to delete/rm these .tgz files? Im assuming that the installpkg command extracts the creamy nougat inside and puts it somewhere useful.
Also, even if it is safe to delete, what is best practice in this case? keep them forever in some isolated directory?

This might be a simple answer but I cannot figure it out. I recently installed K9Copy and a lot of other packages were installed along with it. Now I want to uninstall it, but only K9Copy uninstalls, not everything else. How can I find and uninstall all the dependent packages that came along with it? Is there a way to get rid of everything at once?

I have a system that will not boot as /usr has been destroyed and I would like to get a list of installed packages before re-installing. I know that it's possible to get this using dpkg or apt, but I cannot run those.
Where in the filesystem is this information stored and what's the best way to get a list of installed apps from the files?

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.

In the future I plan on switching video card brands and I was wondering if there is a way to delete or edit packages on a hard disk install from a Live CD?
Also, will switching brands of video card cause a fedora install to crash upon booting?

I found out that to compile my new kernel - which requires 'qmake' - I need to install the "qt-devel" package. Doing so - according to the package manager - would require uninstalling 81 packages and downgrading almost 50 other packages.
I'm running under Fedora 14 w/ KDE and it's asking to remove things like Amarok and OpenOffice. Am I missing a step or something?

I have just installed Debian Lenny and was trying to upgrade the installed packages from the packages.debian.org site. when i asked synaptic to add the downloaded packages the would not appear, but when i checked the .xsessions file there are entries saying that the packages were being ingnored because they were either different versions, the MD5 did not match or even "can't find pkg". i have to use the local library to download the packages because i dont have an internet connection at home.
