Topic: Ubuntu: Opera 9

Any idea how to remove it? It doesnt show up in add/remove and terminal isnt working. I installed it from a deb....hmm

[webwhy]

your terminal isn't working? 

$>man dpkg

should help you figure it out

[Steve]

The terminal works, just the app remove command doesnt "see" opera as an installed program

[webwhy]

Then you can list and remove packages with the dpkg command.

Ok im not that familiar with the terminal and dpkg, so i ran aptitude as root. I hit "/" typed in opera, and was able to locate it. Now when i hit "-" to remove the package, it goes purple but doesnt actually delete. Is there a keystroke for "apply" or something?
