[00:54] <v1adimir> guys, is bzr-notify there on default install? :-0 http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-07212012-024943am.php
[03:05] <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
[03:06] <bazhang> !find calibre
[03:07] <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> ?
[03:08] <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
[03:09] <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-> :(
[03:10] <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
[03:11] <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
[03:12] <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
[03:13] <bazhang> and what folders did you delete
[03:14] <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
[03:15] <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-
[03:16] <bazhang> Thats the one you should have installed^
[03:16] <Mtn-Man-> ? ok
[03:16] <Mtn-Man-> sorry
[03:23] <Mtn-Man-> the file is under /opt/calibre
[03:23] <bazhang> that should be ok then.
[03:24] <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
[03:25] <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
[03:26] <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
[03:28] <Mtn-Man-> ok
[03:47] <Mtn-Man-> well thx for your help, bazhang, et al.
[03:50] <xubuntu182> Good evening
