alsa remove

spotslayer · 12-07-2004, 05:29 PM

I have been using SuSE for about a year and have decided to try a roll your own. Isettled on Slack. I am not use to working without Yast. So how would I remove an install of ALSA so I can redo it?

Try pkgtool

If you didn't install alsa from the cd's, or checkinstall, and instead installed from source, this may help.

2.14 How do I uninstall ALSA?

Under Redhat, and probably other distributions, kernel modules for ALSA are
installed under /lib/modules/kernel.version.number/misc. If you were running
a 2.1.10 kernel, the modules would be under /lib/modules/2.1.10/misc. In this
directory, delete the following files

isapnp.o
persist.o
snd*

Also remove:

/usr/sbin/alsactl
/usr/bin/amixer
/usr/bin/xamixer2
/usr/bin/aplay
/usr/bin/arecord
/usr/bin/alsamixer

/usr/lib/libasound*

That's not quite all of them, but most of the important ones.

This was taken from here.

good luck.

what about using:

removepkg <pkgname>

for each alsa pkg?

you could also dl whatever packages you need for a new install and:

upgradepkg <pkgname>

and you wouldn't have to remove the old packages...
