How to uninstall a package?
I recently installed Splunk on my Fedora 12 machine. It is not working properly and I also don't like where I installed it which was in my downloads folder some how.
I cannot figure out how to uninstall this package and the Splunk Doc's are pretty weak. Any help appreciated. Thanks, -Chris |
Did you install it using your package manager?
|
To be honest I am not sure. I think I used the GUI install process (I am guessing that is the Package Installer) yes, I think I did use that.
|
OK, I found where I can ADD/REMOVE software but I don't see Splunk in there. I may have installed it thru terminal because I vaguely remember that I didn't have access to install it thru the package installer. I do not know how to get root access that way, only in terminal. I think I need linux for dummies.

But you can also do it from the cli as root T obecome root type in the terminal su enter root password enter yum remove package name |
WHat do you see if you run "rpm -qi splunk"?
|
Is there a way I can find out what the package name is?
|
Try yum erase splunk.
|
If you could choose where to install it - I very much doubt that you installed it using a package manager, which usually decides for itself where to install files.
*How* did you install the application? From source, using yum and an external repository or an .rpm file? However, as I suggested earlier, if you installed a package on a RedHat-based system using rpm or yum, you should be able to query the RPM database for the package using "rpm -qi <package name>". |
Lets see if we can work out exactly how you put it on there if the above don't work. At a terminal, see what comes out of
Code:
history| grep splunk |
Here is the outcome of that command. I did not install it today sooo....
[root@FedoraBox bin]# history | grep splunk 9 cd splunk 11 splunk start 12 ./splunk start 16 ./splunk start 19 ./splunk start 47 cd splunk 50 ./start splunk 51 ./splunk start 52 ./splunk display app all 53 ./splunk display app 80 /start splunk 81 ./start splunk 82 splunk 253 cd home/kryznic/Downloads/opt/splunk/bin 260 cd splunk/bin 262 ./start splunk 264 ./splunk 266 splunk 267 /.splunk 268 ./splunk 269 ./splunk cheatsheet 270 ./splunk help 271 ./splunk help simple 272 ./splunk help command 273 ./splunk help commands 275 ./splunk restart 285 splunk 286 /start splunk 287 ./start splunk 288 ./splunk 290 splunk restart 291 ./ splunk restart 292 ./splunk command 293 ./splunk help commands 294 ./splunk restart|splunkd 295 ./splunk restart splunkd 296 ./start splunkd 298 catg splunkd 299 splunkd 300 cd splunkd 301 /start splunk 302 splunk start 303 start splunk 304 ./start splunk 305 ./splunk start 306 yum update splunk 307 rpm --e splunk-2.1-0 308 userdel splunk 309 groupdel splunk 322 rpm -i splunk-4.0.9-74233.i386.rpm 323 rpm -u splunk-4.0.9-74233.i386.rpm 324 rpm -U splunk-4.0.9-74233.i386.rpm 327 cd opt/splunk/bin 328 ./splunk stop 329 rpm -e splunk-4.0.9-74233.i386.rpm 330 /.start splunk 331 ./start splunk 332 splunk 333 ./splunk stsart 334 ./start splunk 335 ./splunk start 336 rpm -ql splunk-4.0.9-74233.i386.rpm | grep bin 337 yum remove splunk-4.0.9-74233.i386.rpm 338 rpm remove splunk-4.0.9-74233.i386.rpm 339 rpm -e splunk-4.0.9-74233.i386.rpm 340 yum install splunk-4.0.9-74233.i386.rpm 342 yum erase splunk 343 history | grep splunk Additionally RPM & YUM says [root@FedoraBox bin]# rpm -e splunk-4.0.9-74233.i386.rpm error: package splunk-4.0.9-74233.i386.rpm is not installed [root@FedoraBox bin]# yum install splunk-4.0.9-74233.i386.rpm Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process No package splunk-4.0.9-74233.i386.rpm available. Nothing to do but I know something is installed because I can still run it. Is linux really this confusing or am I just to used to Windows? (I know there are no similiarities) |
I don't think you've actually installed it
|
Try typing just "rpm -e splunk" omitting the version stuff.
