Ubuntu :: Can't Uninstall/Remove An App

Jun 5, 2011

I have been trying to remove Platinum arts sandbox game making program for a while now. I have tried using the terminal command: sudo apt-get remove dpkg

But I keep getting an error message:

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock -open (11: resource Temporarily Disable)
E: Unable to unlock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

Then I typed: /var/lib/dpkg/lock -open

Then I got the following message:

bash: /var/lib/dpkg/lock: permission denied

What does all of this mean? How come this file is locked and requires admin permission?

Ubuntu :: Can't Seem To Uninstall (remove) Conky

May 25, 2011

Well, earlier today I installed 'conky-all' and now I can't seem to remove it. To install it, I used:

Code:
sudo apt-get install conky-all

I then used a conkyrc that I found on an internet tutorial. It seemed to run okay but it was very ugly so I tweaked a few variables. However, after doing so, I couldn't get conky to work again. So, just to see if it was the variables that I set which could have broke it, I changed the conkyrc file back to that ugly one which worked before. I then tried to run conky again and this time it didn't work either.

I then decided to remove conky in an effort to reinstall the conky, this time just conky as opposed to conky-all. I used:

Code:
sudo apt-get remove conky-all
Thinking that I had successfully removed conky, I did another apt-get to install conky. When I couldn;t get that one to work, I tried to remove it. However, this time I decided to check and see if it was actually removed, by using:

[Code]...

Ubuntu Installation :: Remove And Then Completely Uninstall Software?

Feb 1, 2011

When Ubuntu Software Centre removes software, it leaves files behind in File System which is owned by Root preventing me from deleting them.

1. Could this be why Update Manager is insisting that I install updates for software that I have removed and do not use?

2. There is one application I would like to re-install because it asked me technical questions before I installed it. I think I gave the wrong answer and when I re-installed it, it didn't ask the question again. It seems likely that there is a file somewhere that Ubuntu Software Centre didn't remove, and I could do with deleting but is owned by Root. How do I do this?

3. Should I have posted this query under 'Absolute Beginner Talk?'. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx.

OpenSUSE :: Uninstall Some Applications, Pidgin, For Example Via 'Add/Remove Software'

Mar 24, 2010

When I tried to uninstall some applications, pidgin, for example, via 'Add/Remove Software', YaST told me that I have to uninstall another 200+ packages. Is this something normal? I'm new to Linux and don't want ruin the system, so I seek for another way.

I found that 'Software Manager' can also be used to uninstall the package, so I use it to uninstall pidgin. The problem is after I pressed 'Apply' button, there are so many package installing by themselves. I saw that most of them are appended with '-lang'.

Ubuntu :: How To Uninstall The V. 11.04

May 1, 2011

the upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 has proved to be an unmitigated disaster for my netbook. I have no menus! Nothing at the top (i.e. the usual Gnome desktop with "Browse and run installed applications," "Applications," "Places," "System") and no Unity buttons available wherever I put the cursor.Plus, when the system goes to sleep and I press the power button to revive it, it reboots! I don't understand how v. 11.04 is an improvement over v. 10.10.

how I can uninstall v 11.04 -- bearing in mind I have no menus -- so I can reinstall v. 10.10?
