[SOLVED] How to uninstall applications TCZ?

[coreplayer2]

 /mnt /sda1/tce/  is a common and correct location.

Simply use Apps   to remove programs

Open Apps, select  Apps button > Maintenance >  Dependencies and Deletions, wait for the list of installed extensions to be built, then,
Select the Extension you wish to remove, while highlighted go up to the Dependencies button and choose "Mark for deletion"  the extension will be listed in the right window along with any errors messages regarding dependencies..
Next select the Dependencies button > Exit Dependency check> close Apps, Apps button > Quit, then reboot

Sounds a little complex when is written but is actually quite easy when you get the routine down.

Hope that helps

Or

1) remove from /tce/onboot.list
2) reboot
3) delete from /tce/optional
4) reboot

Please note, if it is a dependency of other apps removel will break them too.

Why do you have to reboot twice?

Hi pan

Why do you have to reboot twice?

Because until you reboot the first time, the extensions are still mounted, and you cannot delete a mounted extension.

Use the uninstall options in apps or tce-audit.  They will also uninstall no longer needed dependencies.

hi pan,

In addition to gerald_clark's advice, this works for me from the command line.

Code: [Select]

$ tce-audit builddb
$ tce-audit delete xxxxx

Why do you have to reboot twice?

i use: copy2fs.flg - always in ram.

i've removed apps easily in term because of that w/ one reboot.

the above is my effort to help, but makes me ask why it was assumed the setup was not in ram to begin with.
