Please help me !!! Can't remove MythTV !!!

[mrcrowley]

I can't remove MythTv. Adept says that it's not installed, but it's still in my application->multimedia.
I tried also from terminal with "sudo apt-get remove mythtv" and again it says that is not installed.
Then how can I delete it ??
Please someone help me !!!

Maybe it has been removed but you need to remove it from the menu. Right click on the KMenu and choose Menu Editor...

Maybe it has been removed but you need to remove it from the menu.

I don't think so because it start the configuration screen (localhost, user, password) of MythTv. Then it seems to run.
How can it be ?
Thks for your reply.

Have you got Synaptic? What happens in Synaptic if you do a search for: mythtv ?

There area some

dpkg

commands that you can run in a terminal.

dpkg -l mythtv

to see what the current status of the package may be (assuming that "myttv" is the actual package name).

dpkg -C

to audit for "problem" package installs.

sudo dpkg --purge mythtv

to remove all vestiges of the package and its configs (again, assuming that "myttv" is the actual package name).

I don't have Synaptic. I have Adept, and I do a search it doesn't see MythTv installed. But I got it in my Application.

1) dpkg -l mythtv to see what the current status of the package may be
2) dpkg -C to audit for "problem" package installs.
3) sudo dpkg --purge mythtv to remove all vestiges of the package and its configs

There was some mythtv-**various name** packages list, with different dependencies.
Then I purge them all, but I don't know if there are some other package left by the installation/uninstallation of MythTV.
Anyway now MythTv is not long in my Application.

Thks very much.
