General :: Uninstalling Software From The Source
May 19, 2010
I didn't want to reopen thread the thread on uninstalling software from source [URL] so accept this as a continuation of that.I mostly just want to confirm my understanding of what devils casper stated. He said that if you still have the Makefile, you can run make uninstall to uninstall the application:
Code: make uninstall If I've since deleted the Makefile, can't I just recreate the Makefile again by executing the configure script and then running make uninstall?

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?

I am a person who is interested in Software development, as well as web development. So far I used just Windows as OS, and did much in the .NET framework. Now I wanna switch to Ubuntu and make some programs with Java using Eclipse. Also do I want to design/develop web pages using Ubuntu.
I had a nice start in Ubuntu and I think I have learned the very basics. So let's come to my first Question:
How can I uninstall a program without using the Synaptic Manager nor the Softwarecenter?
How did I came to this Question? -> In Windows, I had a working WAMP set up. Now I want to set up a LAMP in Ubuntu. There is a packet ready to install a LAMP, but I found it too late. Too late means, I already have installed the Apache myself, using Introductions from a book.
The book is an open 'Galileo' book and can be found here:
[url]
The used shell commands are/were:
After this installation, the Apache Server has been installed to
Now is my plan to get rid of this installation and use the LAMP offered in the Synaptic Manager.
How can I uninstall the Apache Server? Or How can I uninstall something by my self in general? I do not want to create a mess. I guess it is not enough to delete just the whole Apache folder, right?

On my other Linux installation, every time I try installing KDE Trinity, I can't remove KDE 3.5 without making it impossible to start KDE. Can anyone give me some tips on how to safely uninstall KDE 3.5 after Trinity is installed? I uninstalled 3.5 by uninstalling all the components one-by-one in Synaptic.

I installed Backtrack 4 and it is set up as a dual boot with my Windows 7 x64 bit. I want to uninstall Backtrack because I am going to put it on a different computer. The problem is - I can't do it. My laptop is an Asus K61IC, and it doesn't come with an installation CD, because the OS was factory installed. It comes with a recovery wizard instead, which gives me the options to 1) recover to first partition only, 2) recover to entire HD, and 3) recover to entire HD with 2 partitions. Because of Grub and it asking for me to choose what operating system to boot when I start my computer, when I recover Windows 7 to the entire HD and try to boot, it gives me Grub error 22. I need to fix my MBR so that the grub menu is also deleted and all of Backtrack 4 is removed, actually letting me back onto my Windows 7. I need a way to delete the Linux partition, and fix the MBR, but I don't know how to do that because I don't have an installation disk.

I got BSOD while attempting to uninstall a program in Win XP, so I tried to reinstall the OS (because the guy who gave me the pc wants a clean-up) but a STOP 0x0000007F (0x00000008, 0x80042000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) occurs.I tried then to boot Kubuntu 9.04 live cd, and it booted fine, but when I tried an installation it failed too: just crashing...
I tried to change the RAM and the hard drives to no avail.I'm thinking that it's an hardware failure, but can't track it down: what could it be? Video card? Motherboard?
EDIT: I ran 7 successful memtest - not even an error. I have to look at the harddisk ribbons and the motherboard.
EDIT No.2: I tried another harddrive, switching to sata connectors to no avail: the sata harddisk it isn't even recognized...Can it be the video card, or it will be the Motherboard?

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop alongside Windows 7 on the second 320 GB hard drives and now I want to replace it with a 750 GB hard drive, but when I removed it the grub was gone and Windows (on the first hard drive) wouldn't load. This was a mistake, since the grub is installed on the same hard disk as Ubuntu. I want to use GPorted to delete the partitions on the hard drive, but when I boot with it and use the hard drive partition editor it won't let me delete or move one of the partitions. Does this partition contain the grub and if so how do I move it onto my other hard drive?

We all know we can install a linux system such as Fedora 10 and use it. Being linux, one should in principle get the source codes for everything that has been precompiled (except the proprietary drivers such as nvidia) in the installation DVDs/CDs. Where are the source codes ? Is there a place I can download them ?
To avoid confusion, I am not referring to the kernel source that can be compiled to give a linux kernel, but that does not include the drivers, such as intel_drv.so.
To be more specific, the intel graphic i810 driver has been built into any linux system, but where is the exact source? One answer may be that primary source intellinuxgraphics.com. However, if anyone tries to download the every changing (i.e., keep updated almost every single day) driver source codes from freedesktop.org, it is almost certain that the source codes will not be the same as the one that is finalized in Fedora 10.

I've just moved all my machines from Ubuntu to Squeeze and am currently trying to remove Open Office. When marking for removal and uninstalling OO the package manager requires that AbiWord and associated suite of office apps be installed as a replacement. I would like to completely purge both as I have little to no need for them, and the little I do use a word processor for I tend to use cloud based solutions. Is there a way to resolve the dependency that seems to exist that requires one or the other to be on the system at any given time?

I have a problem with Opera 11.10. I can't seem to uninstall it. There is no package related to it in Synaptics Package Manager. It isn't listed in the Software Center.
When I search for "opera" in Unity search it shows up and I can launch it. The launch command is "application://opera-browser.desktop/." but there is no file like that in /usr/share/applications folder.
Also, when I install Opera 11.50, then it installs separately and still launches 11.10 from the Unity search.

I made quite a bit of partitions of different Linux distributions in an attempt to compile a massive program. (To those who do a bit of weather research, I'm trying to compile both WRF and WPS on 64 bit Linux.) I finally compiled the program on 64 bit Fedora 14, and now I'm running out of space on this partition. Is there a way to increase the size of a partition without uninstalling the current OS? I don't mind what happens to the other partitions, but I put quite a bit of effort in this current one. Also, the program demands that all of the data be contained in the same home directory, so I can't keep files in other partitions.

I'm running opensuse 11.2 since a few days. I installed wine to play some game. Originally I tried with the default version but since it didn't work I have installed a newer version from winehq website (just the same, an rpm package, supposedly for suse). In the mean time had a lot of stuff installed, like winetricks, or wine-doors, and the necessary wine software like directx or microsoft fonts.
After a couple of days the game is not working anymore so I have tried to remove everything and start from scratch. The problem is I can't remove wine. If I remove wine the dependency will say, it will remove package 'wine' and install 'wine-snapshot'. If I uninstall wine-snapshot it installs wine. And so on.
I'd just like to remove everything related so i can check and eventually manually delete rest of wine-related stuff to make sure it's all clean... reinstalling the game didn't help so I figured that wine is broken somehow.

I installed IBM Lotus Symphony; it said the install was succesful, yet when trying to run it, nothing happens. Then I'm uninstalling using Yast, and it got blocked; it stayed on "5%" Eliminating Symphony... The cancel button does not work. If I kill the process, would there be a way to have this app correctly uninstalled?

I made a slight mistake after editing my partitions with Gparted. I accidentally installed Grub 2 on my Ubuntu partition instead of re-installing it on the MBR.
I've since installed Grub 2 on my MBR, but how do I get the Grub 2 installation off of my Ubuntu partition?
