How do I remove kubuntu-full and all it's applications?












5















I'm running 12.04 - I installed kubuntu to try it out and realized that with all the bloatware applications that I didn't want it anymore - I was able to uninstall the kubuntu-desktop but there are still packages left over... How can I make sure I get rid of EVERYTHING Kubuntu installed - even the kde leftovers?



Here's some of what's left when I ran sudo apt-get autoremove kde then "tab" it displayed this:




kdeaccessibility kdepim-runtime kdeadmin

kde-runtime kde-baseapps kde-runtime-data
kde-baseapps-bin kdesdk-dolphin-plugins kde-baseapps-data
kde-style-oxygen kde-config-cron kdesudo kde-config-gtk
kdeutils kde-config-touchpad kde-wallpapers
kdegames-card-data kde-wallpapers-default
kdegames-card-data-extra kde-window-manager kde-icons-mono

kde-window-manager-common kdelibs5-data kde-workspace
kdelibs5-plugins kde-workspace-bin kdelibs-bin

kde-workspace-data kdemultimedia-kio-plugins

kde-workspace-data-extras kdenetwork

kde-workspace-kgreet-plugins kdenetwork-filesharing

kde-zeroconf kdepasswd kdf kdepim-kresources

kdm kdepimlibs-kio-plugins kdoctools




Those are all installed by kubuntu... correct? I just want to go back to my Ubuntu 12.04LTS with Gnome2-classic and without all the kubuntu extras.



I started it off by just removing unnecessary apps that came with kubuntu-full - then realized I didnt want the whole thing at all and uninstalled kubuntu-full but it still says I have these as well:




alex@griever:~$ sudo apt-get --purge remove kubuntu-
kubuntu-debug-installer kubuntu-netbook-default-settings
kubuntu-default-settings kubuntu-notification-helper
kubuntu-firefox-installer kubuntu-web-shortcuts

          Remove those as well - kubuntu-full is a metapackage, installing it will include it's recommends - uninstalling it does not unfortunately. Only way is to remove the packages as you are doing.



          More information on metapackages can be found here - https://askubuntu.com/a/2230/2018



          Reply to comment:



          No - it's not done that. I would install synaptic and then use that to search for the kde things you have installed. It's one of those jobs easier the second time, next time do it with a terminal and copy the output so you know what gets installed.



          For instance



          sudo apt-get install kde-full 


          get's these http://pastebin.com/QrYvxUf1



          You might though find it easier and quicker to get the newest 12.04 daily and reinstall, you can use zsync to update your existing iso if you still have that.

          • Can you recommend a first course of action? does this mean I've screwed up my Ubuntu?

          • @AlexPoulos Having some extra packages around will not screw up your Ubuntu. Look through the list of packages installed by the kde metapackages, see which ones you are sure you did not have before installing and remove them.

          FYI for future, check out Psychocats tutorials on installing/removing the different desktop environments.



          http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome



          The tutorials are only up through 11.10 (Oneric) currently as Precise isn't officially out yet but probably would work for 12.04 nonetheless.

          • I'd not assume packages between versions are the same - hence the various differing pages that are there

          EDIT: This answer does not work. I am keeping it up simply to document this fact, because I honestly would have expected it to work.



          I do not have kubuntu-desktop installed (slow Internet), but running apt-get --dry-run autoremove ubuntu-desktop only removes one package; I reason that kubuntu-desktop would behave similarly.



          Props to @Chan-HoSuh and @NRoach44 for commenting persistently enough to make me actually check my answer.





          Running sudo apt-get autoremove kubuntu-desktop should fix it. autoremove is the apt-get command to remove a packages and its dependencies.



          It is possible that you must first reinstall kubuntu-desktop in order to autoremove it. APT should not, however, redownload the packages (downloaded packages are saved on your computer), but only reinstall them.






          share|improve this answer


























          • That only applies to regular packages. Meta-packages like kubuntu-desktop are basically just wrappers and removing them will not usually remove all its dependencies (one notable exception is gnome-desktop).

            Apr 15 '12 at 13:27











          • 'command to remove packages and its dependencies' In that respect, meta packages are no different.

            – NRoach44
            Apr 15 '12 at 13:31













          • @NRoach44 The packages listed by the OP as still being installed after removal of kubuntu-desktop are listed as dependencies using apt-cache showpkg and also on the package listing webpage (in contrast to recommends). Perhaps you're making some valid, technical point, but it must involve a definition of "dependency" that is not commonly used.

            I wouldn't have thought it, but the behaviour @Chan-HoSuh describes is what happens. Simply try apt-get autoremove --dry-run ubuntu-desktop on a vanilla install to verify.

          Note, this applies only to Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise).



          These removal commands were created based on what Kubuntu packages were added to a default Ubuntu installation. It's possible that the commands might remove some other packages you have since added to the default and want to keep. If that's the case, keep track of which packages those are and reinstall them. Theoretically, your settings should still be there.

          No - it's not done that. I would install synaptic and then use that to search for the kde things you have installed. It's one of those jobs easier the second time, next time do it with a terminal and copy the output so you know what gets installed.



          For instance



          sudo apt-get install kde-full 


          get's these http://pastebin.com/QrYvxUf1



          You might though find it easier and quicker to get the newest 12.04 daily and reinstall, you can use zsync to update your existing iso if you still have that.

          Remove those as well - kubuntu-full is a metapackage, installing it will include it's recommends - uninstalling it does not unfortunately. Only way is to remove the packages as you are doing.

          FYI for future, check out Psychocats tutorials on installing/removing the different desktop environments.



          http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome



          The tutorials are only up through 11.10 (Oneric) currently as Precise isn't officially out yet but probably would work for 12.04 nonetheless.

          I do not have kubuntu-desktop installed (slow Internet), but running apt-get --dry-run autoremove ubuntu-desktop only removes one package; I reason that kubuntu-desktop would behave similarly.

          It is possible that you must first reinstall kubuntu-desktop in order to autoremove it. APT should not, however, redownload the packages (downloaded packages are saved on your computer), but only reinstall them.

          Note, this applies only to Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise).



          These removal commands were created based on what Kubuntu packages were added to a default Ubuntu installation. It's possible that the commands might remove some other packages you have since added to the default and want to keep. If that's the case, keep track of which packages those are and reinstall them. Theoretically, your settings should still be there.

          Note, this applies only to Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise).



          These removal commands were created based on what Kubuntu packages were added to a default Ubuntu installation. It's possible that the commands might remove some other packages you have since added to the default and want to keep. If that's the case, keep track of which packages those are and reinstall them. Theoretically, your settings should still be there.
