How to uninstall Haguichi/Hamachi completely?

Question

I want to completely uninstall Haguichi and Hamachi from my computer.

How can I do that?

Solution

Uninstalling Haguichi (a graphical frontend for Hamachi)

Assuming you installed Haguchi through the Webupd8 Haguchi PPA as recommended on the Haguchi download page, you can uninstall the haguichi and haguichi-appindicator packages and remove the PPA from your software sources.

I suggest using the ppa-purge utility to accomplish this. If you don't have it, install the ppa-purge package first:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

Then use it to remove the Haguchi PPA:

sudo ppa-purge ppa:webupd8team/haguichi

Uninstalling Hamachi

Assuming you installed Hamachi with one of the .deb files provided at the Hamachi for Linux download page, just remove the logmein-hamachi package:

sudo apt-get remove logmein-hamachi

That stops the Hamachi service and uninstalls Hamachi. If you want to also remove systemwide configuration files, you can use sudo apt-get purge logmein-hamachi instead.

Removing lsb-core

Optionally, you may wish to remove the lsb-core package (and any of its dependencies that are not required by other software you've installed). On Ubuntu this package is not very commonly installed, but logmein-hamachi depends on it, so you probably installed it when you installed Hamachi originally.

Just in case something else is depending on lsb-core, I recommend marking it as automatically installed and then performing autoremoval of unneeded packages, rather than forcing it to be removed:

sudo apt-mark auto lsb-core
sudo apt-get autoremove

If you want to also remove systemwide configuration files, you can use sudo apt-get --purge autoremove instead of sudo apt-get --autoremove.
