Hello, i recently installed "it Itunes" for windows on wine, supidest thing ive ever done, it obviously doesn't work, and it install's extra stuff like quicktime which launches itself when ubuntu loads. When i run unistaller in the terminal, and i find that Quicktime and Itunes are on the list, i select itunes, click unistall, then when the uninstall app loads i tell it to remove itunes, but all it does is reinstall it cuz it does a progress bar thing and then says "itunes is now installed on your system", and itunes is still there, same with quicktime, the apps (quiktime and itunes) don't even work with wine, it acually makes the screen get all messed up and black. here is a link to a screenshot of my comp as i write this message http://www.misioneste.net/thescreenshot.png , any help would be great, MJ

Funny, y'know.. Not the trouble you're having, but that a little bit of Windows introduced into the system leads to BIG headaches..
I installed Wine, then installed Windows Infra-Recorder with it. The Infra-Recorder actually worked, though it was a bit sketchy at first. I was impressed...
But I wasn't so impressed as I was reinstalling Linux less than 2 days later..
Anyways-- here's a few suggestions, but no guarantees; I've stayed away from wine since then.
1) Contact the WineHQ support people, ONLY IF they invite support questions, because it IS a Beta still, so I think it says use at your own risk, basically.
2) Can you run the uninstaller and remove Wine itself? If so, do that, and then just delete any scattered files and binaries you can find that were made with wine. I think it puts the majority of things into a relatively small number of places.
2b) Is there log files, indicating what was installed where? If so, read it and delete everything manually.
3) If you have to, run the installer again and go thru the install process and during compiling, either save the output to a log, OR manually delete all the installed folders and files after by watching the installed locations on the console.
4) Check your ~/.autostart folder/area for files put there by Wine or Quicktime or whatever, and remove them.
5) Delete the Wine directory itself.
6) Delete the Source code package.
7) Don't repeat
LOL, seriously, I hope any of this is worthwhile advice.
Good luck.

I would like to remove wine and all of its associated files, and programs I installed to it, but I don not know how to go about doing this... any suggestions?, how do I uninstall wine?, How do i remove all files and programs installed to it?

Well, when you run the wine installer from a terminal, you can watch all the stuff scrolling by on the terminal, AND there should be a log file created of the process. The idea would be to read the log file, or read the console when the process is done, and go into the folders and paths that were added, where stuff is installed, and delete it all.
You could also try running the installer with the --uninstall option, if it has one. Read the documentation that came with it, and see if it offers a uninstall or remove option.
Finally, you could open Konqueror, and from the top menubar, go to tools, and goto FIND, and then search for *wine* from the / (root) directory. When the search is complete, select everything that was found (Select ALL) and then DELETE everything.

I think (I could be wrong) that programs you install with wine are installed to the original Wine folder, where you installed wine. You could verify this by checking the PROPERTIES of any icons or desktop links to programs you have installed with wine, and see what they are running (see where is the path to the windows program). Then go there and delete it all.

Hello, I do not have konqueror with Ubuntu 6.10, i would still like to post how i installed wine however, those are the exact instructions i followed, any help is accepted!, and sorry for making this comment so long.

Oh no problem about the length of the thread
OK, since you installed it with APT or some APT-based installer, that is good news I think.
However, I don't use APT with my Linux, so I cannot specifically help you with it, because I don't know how it works..
What you should do is check the manual pages (probably by typing 'man apt' or something similar, or look for a help file somewhere either on the net, or in the help files for Ubuntu, and learn how to use APT to remove a package.
It may be something simple like 'sudo aptitude remove wine' and it will remove the entire package.
But anyway, research how APT performs removal of packages, and that will do the best job of removing the wine package.
Finally, when you get it removed, delete the lines you added to gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Okie dokie Thanks,
