REMOVE GNS3 1.3.9

Question

This version keeps giving this error message "

Can't connect to server http://127.0.0.1:8002

Even when I change the port number.

I am wondering how can I uninstall it since I compiled using the commands from GNS3 community site.

How can I remove from my machine. since

sudo apt-get remove gns3 

doesn't work.

Solution

I have no desire to create an account to download the source code. Therefore, a basic procedure.

You can't remove a compiled version in the same way as a deb package.

1. If you no longer have the source code, download the source code again

2. Go into the source folder and start

   sudo make uninstall
   

If there is no uninstall rule, folow the next steps

1. Install checkinstall

   sudo apt-get install checkinstall
   

2. Go into the source folder and install, yes install via

   sudo checkinstall
   

   Why? checkinstall creates a deb package and installs the package and overwrites in this way all installed files of your earlier installation via sudo make install

3. Remove

   sudo apt-get remove ...
   

   The package name is shown after checkinstall finished

In the future, use checkinstall to install your self-compiled code.

More steps

1. Search the cp commands in the installation guide and remove the targets, e.g.

   sudo cp libiniparser.* /usr/lib/
   

   Therefore

   sudo rm /usr/lib/libiniparser.*
   

2. Nevertheless, you will retain remainders in your system. But you could have a look at the content of the setup.py files of GNS3 GUI and GNS3 Server.

you cant apt-get for compiled software. you need to find and delete it. For the connection issue, have you check firewall on Ubuntu (UFW)?
