Can not uninstall / remove Wine 1.5.0

Post by Wilsonb »

I have been trying to upgrade to 1.5.2 from 1.5.0
I can't seem to get rid of it. I have Removed it via Software Center, Synaptics Package Manager, and some command lines.

Killed orphan files.

typing;
wine --version

give;
wine-1.5.0

Please help me remove.. I need to install 1.5.2

Note: Im a novice.. so might have to spell out what to type in command line.

Thanks

This means you previously tried to compile and install Wine yourself. If you still have that source directory then the best way to uninstall Wine would be:

Code: Select all

cd wine/source/directory
sudo make uninstall
If you do not have that directory anymore then all you can do is manually remove wine files. This should remove most of them:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/lib
sudo rm -rf wine
sudo rm libwine*
cd /usr/local/lib64
sudo rm -rf wine
sudo rm libwine*
cd /usr/local/bin/
# This is all one line:
sudo rm -f function_grep.pl msiexec notepad regedit regsvr32 widl wine wineboot winebuild winecfg wineconsole winecpp winedbg winedump winefile wineg++ winegcc winemaker winemine winepath wine-preloader wineserver wmc wrc

Try reinstalling Rosseta Stone into a new wineprefix.

Yes, that's one thing I didn't do , is reinstall Rosetta S.
Didn't seem like that would have an affect since it's Hardware layer.

Some of the sound drive modifications included registry key/value changes. It is possible to completely break sound by having incorrect values in registry.

Ok, thank you for the feedback. I assume I would have to uninstall Rossetta and reinstall.

Will try that..


Im using a Asus Netbook, under wine Config- Audio - which device do you recommend to select for Input device? System Default or Pulse Audio..

Thanks

That one that works. The only way to know is to try it.
