Itunes 7 installed but wont mount my iPhone so now I want to uninstall iTunes7.When I type in "wine uninstaller" in the terminal it opens the uninstall frame for me but the list of programs installed is empty.How do I uninstall this program then ?This is a 60mb program i dont want to be sitting on my hard drive doing nothing.I do not want to uninstall WINE, only itunes7 that was installed in wine.From my search it seems that uninstalling wine dont unsinstall programs installed in wine and when wine is reinstalled the program you installed previously is still there

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?
I am trying to uninstall my LAMP server and my Drupal 7 installation. Unfortunately I cannot find any instructions on uninstalling Druapl from my system. The ones that exist are far too old( < 2008 ) to be relevant. Could someone please direct me how to go about this? Note: I did not use Synaptic for installation. I downloaded the file from the drupal.org site.
My problem started with DVDrip and I mad an apt-on-cd DVD and installed from there rather than download the packages for my twop systems running karmic. I don't know what has happened but now if I try to install/upgrade/remove anything i get the following.
Code: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libevent-execflow-perl: Depends: libanyevent-perl but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 along with my Windows 7 operating system. After quite a bit of trial and testing, I've decided to remove Ubuntu. I probably did this incorrectly, but I deleted the Ubuntu partition from within Windows 7 partition manager. The next time I booted the system, the computer tried booting with Grub and failed due to not finding the partition.I've since reinstalled Ubuntu just to be able to dual-boot again. How do I cleanly remove Ubuntu and the Grub boot manager?
So this all started I made a video in PiTiVi and wanted to upload it to ....., that didn't go well so I looked around and found out that transmageddon is what I needed to convert the file into one acceptable for ..... and this is were it gets fun.So the install gets stuck at 58% for like 6+hours so a restart the computer boot back in it says it's not install so I try again to install it and it says blah blah it never finnished installing so I try to sudo apt-get remove transmageddon says I need to sudo dpkg --configure -a so I do then I try again
Oops@crap:~$ sudo apt-get remove transmageddon Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
I'm trying to unstall Ubuntu 10.4 in a hd from a live Cd. The problem that I have is that even though I can reach the menu screen when I select even the options Install or Use without changes the sistem shows the ubuntu logo page with the little dots below changin colors but It won't go any further.
I dual boot with XP, My upgrade to 11.04 has been two weeks of FUBAR. I want the 10.04 LTS again. With the 10.04 disk in, I get to the point of "Prepare Disk Space"; it shows XP-pro 81Gb and Ubuntu 11.04 75Gb. There I must choose side-by-side, Use Entire Disk, or Specify partitions Manually. My Question/Problem> The new 11.04 kernel seems so incompatible with my system that I wonder if I need to delete or reformat. Am I likely to have success if I just tell it to do side-by-side.
I'm afraid that if I delete the partition Ubuntu is on it'll mess up GRUB and I won't be able to boot into Windows. here's the link to what my partitions currently look like: [URL}...
In my case, getting fed up with Lucid's flaky behaviour with my particular display, having tried various solutions that were really only half-baked workarounds (the best being to install a mainline kernel) - I decided to install Peppermint Linux next to Ubuntu, thus creating a dual boot system. But I've decided I don't really like Peppermint Linux. Further, in the meantime, I've found a workaround for Lucid which (so far) seems like a longer term solution (I installed Kernel xxxx?-22, while increasing my display's refresh rate - and now all is hunky-dory - it starts perfectly, with a 'normal' visual effects desktop, and even Cheese no longer crashes the system with my old webcam).
Now here's the rub.... How to (a) uninstall Peppermint Linux (with its Grub - which was obviously set over Lucid's) (b) reclaiming the whole hard drive (it's only 40gb total - as it's an oldish machine) for Lucid - without having to reinstall Lucid, which I now have very nicely set up indeed, albeit currently squeezed for space? Is there some nice patient geek out there who can put me out of my misery with a step by step guide? I've tried Google - but everyone with a similar problem seems to want to reclaim the space for Windows!
i have an hp laptop currently dual booting ubuntu 10.04 and windows xp. i want to install windows 7 on the windows xp partition of the hard drive. to do this do i insert my win 7 disk while running xp and load the installer from there or i need to uninstall ubuntu and then reinstall it after putting win 7 on? or whats the easiest way to put win 7 on without messing up or involving the ubuntu partition?
I recently performed an online update from 9.10 to 10.4 LTS. Unfortunately, the install did not go very well because Bonager cannot be removed; hence the package system is left in an inconsistent state. Attempts to remove Bonager using apt-get does not work.
At this point, I'm thinking that I'll need to perform a fresh install, starting from scratch.
I have had ubuntu on my PC for a number of years, but its getting slower and slower so I have decided to uninstall in and maybe put xbuntu on instead, how do I get rid of it without killing my xp partition?
I installed ubuntu by using Wubi to try it out. When I restatered and booted up ubuntu it said claimed to be finishing up installations which was taking nearly 1.5 hours of getting nowhere before I got frustrated and shut it off. I wen't back on windows to see if a re installation would be better. But my computer didn't seem to agree on that and wouldn't uninstall it. So I manually deleted the files myself. Now when I start up my computer I still see the choice to boot up kubuntu but yet there is no kubuntu if I select it. Any ideas how to get rid of the selection and why wubi didn't work? Not even live CD's are working on my computer.
Have the same problem and can't uninstall, seemingly due to circular dependencies among firefox, firefox-3.0, firefox-branding and firefox-3.0-branding. how to break out of that?
I am trying to update my bandwidthd but it says that i should reinstall it, but when i do that it just throws me an error. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 in case it helps. I am getting really frustrated by this and don't know to fix it because it wont let me uninstall, reinstall, upgrade, or update.
