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).
