Title: How can I remove LXDE in text mode?
Post by: Chaney Lee on March 31, 2013, 12:28:16 AM

Hi,
    I have installed LXDE desktop in mircocore .But I found that the DE didn't work well.Now I want to remove it and try another WM.So how can I remove the LXDE and all the tcz dependences in /tce/optinal by using TC commands?

I mean that after I clicked some menu,such as 'run' or 'logout',nothing happened.Only few menus worked.So whether I installed the LXDE  wrong or the TinyCroeLinux didn't support it well?Moreover,Which command should I use for removing extensions in Text Mode?Sorry for my poor English and thank you very much!By the way,I think TC is really what I need and I like it very much.

Install LXDE in TC, not Core.

Well.I installed the CorePlus without X/GUI.Then I used ''tce-load -wi LXDE.tcz'' command.When I input 'startx',I could see the desktop.Now I want to delete the LXDE and its dependences. Would you mind telling me the command of removing applications?I really need your help.Thank you very much.

Use Apps and go to Maintenance/Dependencies and Deletitions menu

Do you have the same issue with LXDE2?

 :-\Bad luck!There is nothing on my desktop but the 'Terminal' icon.I used to install a stranded TinyCoreLinux.So I know that there are a few icons.(http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/images/install/pack/open_installer.png).Unfortunately,though I have installed the 'wbar.tcz',the icons didn't show in the desktop.I think there should be some commands interface to remove apps.I read the wiki but I can't find them.I will try LXDE2 later.If I can't delete the LXDE , I think I will re-install the TC and try another Desktop Environment or Windows Manager.So I need the commands of uninstalling apps.Thank you very much!

To delete an extension and all of its dependencies from the command line use tce-audit.

Example:
tce-audit builddb
tce-audit delete extension_name

reboot to effect

Also you likely don't have Apps because you failed to load Xprogs.

Thank you very much!I need this!
By the way,the usage of the command tce-audit is incomplete in wiki.

Yes!I didn't load Xprogs because I think it could be replaced by Xorg.It seems I'm wrong.I will try it later.
Thanks!

Xprogs has its use with all X servers.
