Ubuntu :: Uninstalling Package That Does Not Show In Synaptic
Jun 17, 2011
The problem below is probably related to the fact that I tried to install a 32-bit version of Teamviewer on a 64 bit system. I have now downloaded the right version, but when I try to install it I get: teamviewer6: 6.0.9224 (Multi-Arch: no) is not co-installable with teamviewer6:i386 6.0.9224 (Multi-Arch: no) which is currently installed But the Synaptic Package Manager does not indicate that Teamviewer is installed, nor does it appear under installed apps in the panel. So how do I get rid of the teamviewer6:i386?
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:

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?
Synaptic 0.62.5. When uninstalling libusb-0.1-4, it removes many other unassociated applications (like gnome-desktop, evolution, the kernel in the /boot directory... not nice. See below with a simulated apt-get remove libusb-0.1-4.
Linux hpmaindesktop 2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 02:39:34 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
I guess I should have checked this before removing for real as it blew away my desktop, boot kernel, etc. Time now to re-install packages.
I have a problem when installing this package through synaptic package manager. this is :
libpng12-dev the error is: W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/po...tu2.1_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.167 80] my distribution is ubuntu 10.4.
I want to install CmapTools in my desktop, which runs v.10.04. I have downloaded the .bin file from their site.Is there a way to install it using Synaptic Package Manager?
I recently installed into ubuntu 10.04 the package called "ubuntustudio-audio", it's a collection of audio apps from the ubuntustudio distribution. I tested them, and I wanted to uninstall just a pair of them... but synaptic tells me it's not possible, unless I uninstall the whole "ubuntustudio-audio" package..
I installed postgregresql-8.4 in ubuntu 9.10 some time ago, now I upgraded to 10.04. Everything looked like normal, but when I decided to update my packages via synaptic, postgregresql-8.4 got an error and now it s listed as broken.
I tried to simply uninstall it, but an error appears and says that the package is at a bad state and cannot be uninstalled. How can I uninstall, update or reinstall the package?
I assume that uninstalling / disabling the new package canonical-census will have no adverse effects? It is not something that I would choose to install if it was on offer, so I don't intend accepting it by stealth.
For some reason many packages don't show after I enter package names in quick search field. I have to find each package by scrolling through the entire list. For example, typing g++ shows only some lib file, not the C++ package. The same for automake, autoconf and libtools. Synaptic works fine in 32bit ubuntu.
Is there anyway to show package size that comes up in the search so you don't have to apt-get install package individually and wait for the installation initiation and then reject to install after it gives u the [y/N] confirmation thing?
I installed VMware server on my CentOS 5 machine. I had problems getting that working. Then I installed VMware Workstation. That worked fine. Then I tried using VMware server, but apparently VMware Workstation deleted some of VMware Servers files. So, I uninstalled VMware Workstation. Then I tried to reinstall VMware Server, but rpm complains package VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.x86_64 is already installed
I recently installed Debian Squeeze and trying to get all the goodies installed I had in Lenny. Synaptic, software sources and software center now fails to display and allow selecting from /etc/apt/source.list. When using Synaptic and I chose "Settings" then "Repositories" I now get a message "repositories changed, click reload button" when I do it just reloads and displays downloading 34 packages as it has since first install. Normally I would get a window where I can select or deselct sources from /etc/apt/sources.list, I also recollect it asked me to insert the DVD I installed the OS from but it does not do this now as well.
When opening "software sources" it prompts for root or allows if I have prevoiusly used root but just stalls and then quits. When using "Software Center" and selecting "Edit" then ""Software Sources" I get same results. I verified sources.list exists, backed it up and made a few changes to it and still no results. This most likely has happened since I used smxi to install nvidia driver shortly after install. Installing the debian modual driver suplied would not work. I have since tried installing GoogleEarth same way I did with Lenny without results. I also used smxi with report it would not build. Anything simple like Users and groups I have yet to configure properly that would cause this? I have yet to make any changes except add 2 users.
I'm not sure what other information to post.I believe I'm using the nvidia 190 file, but I've tried to remove 185 and that made me have to boot up in "low graphics mode."
I am a relatively new user of Ubuntu and I have a question about Django 1.2 (and now we're up to 1.2.1). I currently have Django 1.1.1 installed via Synaptic.
-Generally, how long would it take for 1.2.1 to appear in a package that I can download via Synaptic?
-If I were to uninstall ver 1.1.1 and manually install ver 1.2.1, would it get installed in the same location that Synaptic installs it?
I have no idea how I did it. All of a sudden I couldn't access synaptic so I restarted my system and the login screen wouldn't show up. I tried dpkg --configure -a and sudo apt-get install -f. I can't access my system at all.
Got Karmic Koala up on running on my main computer and have been going through Beginning Ubuntu Linux, Fourth Edition. It was printed during Jaunty Jackalope, but it looks like its information applies to most areas.
However, it says I should be able to find msttcorefonts in the Synaptic Package Manage, and it's not there. I double checked Writer and Times New Roman and the other true type staples are not there, so it's not that it was installed with the boot disk.
I am trying to get Ubuntu up and running on my Dell XPS 400 desktop. I verified the checksum of the iso (ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso) I downloaded, and I ran the cd check before installing. I also ran a memtest for 16 hours with no errors.
So I install Ubuntu, and everything seems ok. Now, I try to update my software packages, and the upgrade always fails after all the packages are downloaded (sometime during actual installation). So, I have to reboot, and the file system will not mount. I run fsck and reboot, and now I cannot even boot normally or to a shell... This has happened to me twice in row.
What is the best plan of attack when a package fails to install midway? I want to use Ubuntu, but this is making it pretty hard.
I'm having a problem where I can't open Synaptic Package Manager. The error message I get is this:
E: Malformed line 57 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) E: The list of sources could not be read. Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
Here's my sources.list:

Try reloading my synaptic Package manager and I get the following message after a while:-
An error occured the following details are provided W: Failed to fetch http://ke.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...ic/Release.gpg Could not resolve 'ke.archive.ubuntu.com' W: Failed to fetch http://ke.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...tion-en_US.bz2 Could not resolve 'ke.archive.ubuntu.com' W: Failed to fetch http://ke.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...tion-en_US.bz2 Could not resolve 'ke.archive.ubuntu.com'
I've just installed Lucid Lynx and it seems to be running fine, except the synaptic package manager is downloading things incredibly slowly. Is this just because the server is busy due to the new release?
i am unable to open package manager or install any software, each time i try it brings up this messageE: Malformed line 5 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse)E: The list of sources could not be read.Go to the repository dialogue to correct the problem.E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
I tried to install Redshift's PPA then an error occur, after that , my software center is not working, after i click the ubuntu software centre, nothing's happening..and also i cannot open synaptic package manager.But there is an error coming out code...
Synaptic Package Manager failed with the following error:
E: Malformed line 55 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist) E: The list of sources could not be read. Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
With the error dialog as modal window, the Synaptic Package Manager main screen is disabled. As soon as I click "OK" to close the error dialog, Synaptic Package Manager shuts down right away.I don't know there is the "repository dialog" is to correct the problem as suggested.
i cannot access synaptic package manager. It asks for my password and then when i enter it synaptic starts to load and gives me this error message:E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
I tried entering the command listed in the terminal and got an error. Anyone know how to fix this so i can launch synaptic again?
whenever i tried to open Synaptic package Manager the following messages shows:
E: Type '.net/tualatrix/ppa/ubuntu' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tualatrix-ppa-maverick.list E: The list of sources could not be read. Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
Ubuntu Software Center, Update Manager, Synaptic package Manager all are jammed and indicates the same error. Except these everything works perfectly.
I need some assistance on getting Synaptic Package Manager to start correctly. I can start it from the command line without any errors. When I try to use the shortcut under the /System/Administration menu it ask for the password but nothing ever opens up nor is there an error. My source list is fine. I have ran "sudo apt-get update".
