Uninstall Netflix Player

Hi everyone,
I installed Netflix Player on Fedora 18 64 bit, using the instructions below:

Code:

su -c ‘yum -y install wget’



wget -chttp://sourceforge.net/projects/postinstaller/files/data/Netflixplayer.tar.gz



tar -xvzf Netflixplayer.tar.gz



su -c ‘sh Netflixplayer.sh’



to run: 



sh /usr/bin/Netflix.sh

I am trying to uninstall it as I have found out that it does not work on 64 bit! This was a complex install which installed a wine wrapper around Netflix player. When I use yum remove Netflix, the package is not removed. I want to remove it from my computer, or at the very least, the cinnamon launch menu.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

tim

yum will not uninstall a program you installed using a install script "Netflixplayer.sh"

you have to use that script to uninstall it

if you read the shell script it likely has a uninstall option
likely something like this

Code:

su -

 Netflixplayer.sh --uninstall

but it might not

if not read the script and manually undo what it did

----- edit ---
this is why i hate auto exe packages

it is looking like it installs /Mozilla/firefox.exe
and /usr/bin/netflicks.sh
you are going to have to manually find all it's bits and manually remove them , one at a time .

have a look at the fedoraforum page

you need to install ALL of the 32 bit compatibility software

Thanks for the very detailed reply. I tried to add the compatabilty software to make Netflix work in 64 bit. However, I got ths error message:

Code:

Error:  Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root

      cause is something else and multilib version checking is just

      pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.:

      

        1. You have an upgrade for mesa-libGL which is missing some

            dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to

            solve this by installing an older version of mesa-libGL of the

            different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture

            yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package

            requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with

            --exclude mesa-libGL.otherarch ... this should give you an error

            message showing the root cause of the problem.

      

        2. You have multiple architectures of mesa-libGL installed, but

            yum can only see an upgrade for one of those arcitectures.

            If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you

            can remove the one with the missing update and everything

            will work.

      

        3. You have duplicate versions of mesa-libGL installed already.

            You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors.

      

      ...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove

      this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to

      do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing

      much more problems).

      

      Protected multilib versions: mesa-libGL-9.1-3.fc18.i686 != mesa-libGL-9.1-1.fc18.x86_64

I've just spent the best part of a day moving from Linux Mint 14 to Fedora 18. I don't want to break the install. Is the installation of these packages safe, do you think?

Thanks again for the reply,

Tim

yum errors , fun
mesa-libGL-9.1-3.fc18
is in conflict with
mesa-libGL-9.1-1.fc18.x86_64

try

Code:

su -

yum update mesa*

if that dose not work

remove the 32 bit version then update and reinstall the 32 bit

Code:

su -

yum remove mesa-libGL-9.1-3.fc18

yum update

yum install mesa-libGL.i686

( double check the name with "yum search mesa" )

there is also a new version
a fedora 18 rpm "netflix-desktop-0.2.2-1.fc18.noarch.rpm"

http://sourceforge.net/projects/post...h.rpm/download

Thanks John,
I did the Mesa update and everything worked fine. Netflix is now installed and working. Thanks again for all the help.
