Uninstalling mythtv - how?


MythTV is driving me nuts, so I just want to start over fresh. However I'm not sure how to uninstall it. I'm running Ubuntu Edgy, and I tried apt-get --purge remove mythtv, but it said it couldn't do that because it was installed.

first, find out what the package is called dpkg --get-selections |grep myth. Then make sure no processes are still running ps aux |grep myth (kill -9 any processes). Then try sudo aptitude purge mythtv (or whatever the myth package is called on your system).

1) Reinstalling might not help. What are your problems, and we might be able to help.

2) Try "dpkg-reconfigure mythtv" and see if that helps.
