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?
View 4 RepliesI'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.
How do I remove KTTSD from my system. I installed it some how, cannot remember how, and now I get no sound at all. Previous posts to this forum suggested that the KTTSD was the problem. Yesterday I got an error message saying that KTTSD had crashed, I then got my sound beck. I used YAST to remove the KTTSD but now I get an error "Could not find service 'kttsd' - Plasma"

The only MS program I need on my computer is Word 2007 for the equation editor to write/edit files from work. So after installing Wine I installed MSOffice2007. Excel worked OK (although I don't need it - I am perfectly happy with the Libre Office spreadsheet). Word however froze each time so I tried to uninstall and reinstall it. However I always got an error message when trying to uninstall with Wine. So I followed the advice of some strands in this forum and deleted the Program Files folder from the ~.wine directory. However the menus are still in Wine/Programs/Microsoft Office even though they lead to nowhere. I tried to reinstall but still I nothing happened. I presume the old entries still lead to the position where previously the .exe files were located. Now my question is either how can I remove these menu entries and try installing again - or even better - is there a Linux programme that can read/edit the equations written in Word 2007?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI installed openSuse 11.2 64bit (DVD version). Later I installed the graphic card driver. Then I noticed that it's not working well due to an improper installation (didn't use the manual that you provided here). So I uninstalled the driver. Then, after reboot, instead of a regular desktop, I get a CLI and I'm requested to enter my login information. But in the boot menu, if I enter to the failsafe option, then everything works fine. How can I change the CLI to the regular desktop?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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 recently installed 9.10, and when I was looking for information on it I realized that 10.04 had come out. I then went to delete 9.10, instead of uninstalling it. Now my computer thinks that 9.10 is still on it. Some details. I put 9.10 on it's own hard drive (if it makes a difference, it is an actual physical hard drive, not a partition). I was having trouble with my usb booting, so I used the install inside of Windows option.
I then proceeded to reformat that hard drive in preparation to install 10.04. I am guessing there are registry keys that need to get deleted, or something similar. I went to the add/remove programs in the control panel, but that didn't help. Also, when I turn my computer on, Ubuntu is still a dual boot option, it just doesn't do much. When I try to boot to Ubuntu it says something about sh-grub, or ch-grub.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been downloading some programs in Synaptic and adding PPA like it's Christmas, and two days ago noticed one of my wine games disappeared just like that, from the C Drive folder. Didn't think much about it and just copied it back in (I had a backup on a different partition). Also later that day wine disappeared and needed reinstalling.Now yesterday I decided to upgrade OpenOffice to 3.2.1 and went through the "tutorial" and uninstalled all the associated packages and installed the newer version. Gwenview and Gedit disappeared as well, needing a reinstall.
Now I log on today and Pidgin and Thunderbird are gone.I'm really not sure what could be going on, I mean it all seems unrelated. Why would reinstalling OpenOffice mess up everything else?So this is more of a nuisance than a problem, because when I reinstall the programs the settings are as I left them.

I was running a web server using apache, somehow it started not working properly. So I wanted to uninstall Apache. At first, I wrote "./apachectl stop" to stop the running apache server. After that i wrote "rm -rf /usr/local/apache2" to delete the folders. So far, it seemed normal. But when I wrote //localhost on firefox, the page which was appearing when apache server was running again appeared. So, I restarted my machine, and after that opened localhost again. But the page was still there. I don't know what caused this, but it is obvious that that server is immortal. Also, I found another path for apache server but I am not quite sure. It is /srv/www/htdocs/ that directory consisted that appearing page. I am not sure if i delete this folder, too. By the way, I guess I broke my internet connection while configuring Apache web server. I just wrote "# telnet localhost 80" in the terminal. And after that I changed the port which apache server listens to in httpd.conf. Does anyone know how to terminate this apache' session? Also could somebody tell me how can i fix my internet connection?

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:

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?
