how to un/install if i do not know the file located at
 
hi guys
i have installed ultraedit in my linux server, but i do not know where is it located.
i have try searching /usr/bin , its not there
anyway to search the last install software, or search it by name?
besides that, can i uninstall it without knowing where is the location of the software?

thx

knowing where the software is won't help you uninstall it in the first place. packages are only "installed" from the point of a package database, the files themselves are just put on a disk like any other.

if you installed from an rpm try "rpm -e ultraedit", from deb use "dpkg -r ultraedit" or whatever the package name actually is.

It should call uex.

Have you tried?

Code:
which uex

so HOW did you install this "not GPL" $89 USD closed source program on this UNKNOWN linux based server
i take it you also have a gui installed on this box in the server room

from the download page it runs on

Ubuntu 10.04, 11.04 and 11.10

that won't help any uninstall method I've ever used though.

yes, you did... sorry! My total mistake.

So for running it... you really don't need to know. Just run the program from a command line, there's no "Program files" directory to go hunting for, the binary should be on your path.

kooru 10-15-2012 07:19 AM
Yes but you need to know as the program is called. Because ultraedit should be called uex
Even if the original post is not very clear :)

Ultraedit was my favorite during my M$Windows matrix days. Today there is an Ultraedit for Linux. The binary is "uex" with few options. But it is nothing compared to Gnu editors. Nevertheless for the sake of helping--

locate the uex binary in many ways, as stated above:

Code:
which uex
if not returned, try find it--

Code:
find {/bin,/sbin,/usr/sbin,/usr/bin,/usr/local/bin,/opt} -type f -iname '*uex*'
That should return the binary's location.

The other shorter way is to verify the install record:

Code:
cat /var/log/packages/*ultraedit* | grep uex
Goodluck.

I took a quick swing by their website,... Try /opt/local/uex for the directory...

chrism01 10-16-2012 12:07 AM
The rpm name is likely ultraedit (eg see google)
Code:
rpm -qa |grep -i ultraedit

slowerogue 10-16-2012 09:28 PM
thx guys!
but how do i unistall it?
just rm -rf or rmdir will do?
ty

chrism01 10-17-2012 12:38 AM
you can try
Code:
yum remove ultraedit
but check the list of dependencies it may want to remove.
Sometimes it gets a bit out of hand.
If so, you could just try
Code:
rpm -e --nodeps ultraedit
