| Mtn-Man- | hi guys | 03:05 |
| Mtn-Man- | i installed a program 'calibre' i can't uninstall thru synaptic pkg mgr. can anyone recommend another way to do it, such as line cmds. in terminal? thx so much | 03:05 |
| bazhang | !find calibre | 03:06 |
| ubottu | Found: calibre, calibre-bin | 03:06 |
| bazhang | sudo apt-get install calibre Mtn-Man- | 03:07 |
| bazhang | Mtn-Man-, was that how you installed it | 03:07 |
| Mtn-Man- | thx but how can i uninstall it? | 03:07 |
| Mtn-Man- | um, perhaps | 03:07 |
| bazhang | ? | 03:07 |
| Mtn-Man- | i got it via calibre website | 03:08 |
| bazhang | then no | 03:08 |
| Mtn-Man- | i've forgotten exactly how i did it yes'day | 03:08 |
| bazhang | so reverse whatever you did yesterday | 03:08 |
| Mtn-Man- | but i have deleted some folders already so I dunno how to do it now | 03:08 |
| Mtn-Man- | ?? | 03:08 |
| Mtn-Man- | sudo apt-get uninstall calibre? | 03:08 |
| Mtn-Man- | :( | 03:08 |
| bazhang | very bad idea to go outside package management when the software is in the ubuntu software repositories | 03:08 |
| Mtn-Man- | yeah | 03:09 |
| Mtn-Man- | the program took up too much disk space now i can't uninstall it :'( | 03:09 |
| bazhang | no idea what you did to install it. and deleting some folders without know ing what you are doing is not a good idea at all. | 03:09 |
| Mtn-Man- | i'm sortuva linux newbie, well, a line cmd. newbie | 03:09 |
| Mtn-Man- | :( | 03:09 |
| Mtn-Man- | well thx for the chastisement i deserve it | 03:10 |
| Mtn-Man- | :D | 03:10 |
| bazhang | so learn how to correctly install software | 03:10 |
| bazhang | sudo apt-get remove packagename if it was from the ubuntu software repositories | 03:11 |
| Mtn-Man- | synaptic pkg mgr. doesn't list calibre as installed, but it's obviously still there | 03:11 |
| Mtn-Man- | packagename would be..? | 03:11 |
| Mtn-Man- | calibre? | 03:11 |
| bazhang | but for some 3rd things not sure. what format was it, how did you install it in the first place | 03:11 |
| Mtn-Man- | one sec | 03:11 |
| bazhang | you did not install it via synaptic, how would it know | 03:12 |
| Mtn-Man- | binary install: sudo python -c "import sys; py3 = sys.version_info[0] > 2; u = __import__('urllib.request' if py3 else 'urllib', fromlist=1); exec(u.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read()); main()" | 03:12 |
| Mtn-Man- | that's how i did it, copied and pasted | 03:12 |
| Mtn-Man- | in terminal | 03:12 |
| bazhang | yikes | 03:12 |
| bazhang | and what folders did you delete | 03:13 |
| Mtn-Man- | i think they were just book folders | 03:14 |
| Mtn-Man- | there were no books in them | 03:14 |
| Mtn-Man- | the program folder i can't delete | 03:14 |
| bazhang | thats not very specific | 03:14 |
| Mtn-Man- | the folders stored the info about the e-books | 03:14 |
| Mtn-Man- | calibre is an e-book organizer | 03:14 |
| bazhang | it would be just guesswork unless you have some specific errors and/or info | 03:15 |
| bazhang | yes, I am well aware of what calibre is | 03:15 |
| bazhang | !info calibre | Mtn-Man- | 03:15 |
| ubottu | Mtn-Man-: calibre (source: calibre): e-book converter and library management. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.8.38+dfsg-1 (precise), package size 14394 kB, installed size 29654 kB | 03:15 |
| bazhang | Thats the one you should have installed^ | 03:16 |
| Mtn-Man- | ? ok | 03:16 |
| Mtn-Man- | sorry | 03:16 |
| Mtn-Man- | the file is under /opt/calibre | 03:23 |
| bazhang | that should be ok then. | 03:23 |
| Mtn-Man- | ok how? | 03:24 |
| bazhang | was a .deb you installed? or what | 03:24 |
| Mtn-Man- | not a .deb no | 03:24 |
| bazhang | so a tar archive | 03:24 |
| Mtn-Man- | ?? | 03:24 |
| Mtn-Man- | yeah i think, .gz | 03:24 |
| Mtn-Man- | gosh i've already forgotten how i did it | 03:24 |
| Mtn-Man- | :( | 03:24 |
| bazhang | so read the uninstall | 03:24 |
| Mtn-Man- | i know i tried copying and pasting that cmd. from the website | 03:25 |
| Mtn-Man- | it's not listed under ubuntu software ctr. eitehr | 03:25 |
| bazhang | of course not | 03:25 |
| bazhang | so try to read the uninstall, or read me with the tar.gz for removal instructions | 03:26 |
| bazhang | once it's removed, then install from the package manager | 03:26 |
| Mtn-Man- | ok | 03:28 |
| Mtn-Man- | well thx for your help, bazhang, et al. | 03:47 |
| xubuntu182 | Good evening | 03:50 |
