Help with SSH commands for uninstalling please!

Post by dwl99 »

I installed LMS 7.7 on my WD MyBookLive by SSH-ing into it & typing:

cd /DataVolume/shares/Public
aptitude update
wget http://downloads.slimdevices.com/LogitechMediaServer_v7.7.3/logitechmediaserver_7.7.3_all.deb
dpkg -i logitechmediaserver_7.7.3_all.deb

Unfortunately LMS hangs while scanning my music collection and I was going to try upgrading to 7.8 ( http://downloads.slimdevices.com/LogitechMediaServer_v7.8.0/logitechmediaserver_7.8.0_all.deb )
Would I need to uninstall the 7.7.3 version first? If so, how would I do it?

Thinking it would be something like:

Code: Select all

dpkg -r logitechmediaserver_7.7.3
Then to check removed package it would be:

Code: Select all

dpkg -l | grep 'logitechmediaserver_7.7.3'
seeing an rc means removed OK.

Normally, it isn't necessary to uninstall. A new install should simply replace the existing version.

Of course there's always a chance it doesn't work!

Thanks guys, it turned out to be:

dpkg -r logitechmediaserver

Job done! Although I bet the server will still hang while scanning :-(
