Removing livewallpaper.

Question

I can not seem to find any resources regarding the removal of livewallpaper, a google search yields nothing on the topic and I have been driven to ask you guys.

I have little knowledge of ubuntu or linux in general and I have some extreme anxiety coming here for answers to this mundane question. So be gentle?

Solution

If you installed it from the PPA like this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fyrmir/livewallpaper-daily
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install livewallpaper livewallpaper-config livewallpaper-indicator

You should be able to remove it with:

sudo apt-get remove livewallpaper livewallpaper-config livewallpaper-indicator

Alternate method:

Use ppa-purge to uninstall livewallpaper. First you need to install ppa-purge:

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

Then run the following command if you installed livewallpaper from the daily ppa:

sudo ppa-purge ppa:fyrmir/livewallpaper-daily

Or if you are using the stable version, run this:

sudo ppa-purge ppa:fyrmir/livewallpaper-stable

When I try the first method, the process just aborts after asking for confirmation, even if I confirm. What can I do?
