Can someone tell me how to remove watchman from linux terminal? Going to try a different nodewatcher. I tried "sudo apt-get --purge remove watchman" and that didn't work.
If you have build it from source.
Usually you can just use:
make uninstall
or
sudo make uninstall
if the app was installed as root.
from build directory.

I've been trying to install Powershell for a few hours now. I run this under root:
apt update && apt -y install powershell
This is what I end up getting after it runs through and seemingly downloads
Package powershell is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'powershell' has no installation candidate
When I try to run this same command outside of root using sudo, I get the following:
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?
I have updated everything and tried a few different ways. I even downloaded a completely new Virtual Machine in Parallels to see if restarting would help out. I still run into the same problems. This is a Kali Linux VM on Parallels MacOS M1. Not sure if that matters or not. I think Parallels itself may possibly be using an apt process in the background, but when I do:
sudo killall apt apt-get
I end up getting
apt: no process found
apt-get: no process found
I've been trying everything. I'm on a new Mac so I don't have too many VM options. If someone could figure this out in Parallels, it would be a great help.
I've tried a lot. In the description above.
To install PowerShell in Kali Linux open the terminal and type:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y snapd # install daemon and tooling that enable snap packages
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd apparmor
Log out and back in again, and run the following command to install the powershell snap package.
sudo snap install powershell --classic
Uninstall GitHub Desktop from Ubuntu
How can I remove my github dektop app. It is not working perfectly, so I want to uninstall and re-install it.
Here is the command that produces an error:
sudo apt-get remove GitHub Desktop
sudo apt remove github-desktop
There are 2 ways or i should say 2 commands :
sudo apt remove github-desktop
will remove the binaries, but not the configuration or data files of the package
sudo apt remove --purge github-desktop
will remove about everything regarding the package packagename, [...]
Particularly useful when you want to 'start all over' with an application because you messed up the configuration.
I use Manjaro and installed VS Code via the snap store (sudo snap install --classic code), but if I want to start it nothing happens. I deinstalled it and installed it again but still the same.
I can think of a few options. Probably the easiest is to install with pacman rather than snap since manjaro is based on arch
sudo pacman -S code
You could also install from the AUR Repository:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/code-git.git
cd code-git
makepkg -sic
If that does not work you can manually download an rpm package and install with rpm or build manually from a tar
I am following the steps from this website to customize my Ubuntu image. After unpacking the clean .iso I add some files to the "remaster" and also I would like to install some apps (wireshark for example), so when the systems boots with the custom image, there is no need to install anything. I run the following script:
sudo uck-remaster-clean
sudo uck-remaster-unpack-iso my.iso
sudo uck-remaster-unpack-rootfs
// .. add desired files to the remaster
sudo apt-get install wireshark
sudo uck-remaster-pack-rootfs -c
sudo uck-remaster-pack-iso -g myNew.iso
However, wireshark is installed on the machine on which I am running the script, not in the remaster-root system. What do I need to modify to have the apps installed on the unpacked ISO? Is it even possible?
You skipped a step, you need to sudo uck-remaster-chroot-rootfs before.
Now you can install packages with apt-get and perform all kinds of customizations.
I wants to make my Pi a network security tool, so I downloaded the source code from Raspberry Pwn's github source [https://github.com/pwnieexpress/Raspberry-Pwn].
I found my network rather slow when installing, so I interrupted the progress. I used its uninstall script to make sure that all changes would be recovered.
The uninstall successfully ended, but since then I cannot proceed on to the GUI after I typed startx. Are there any way for me to proceed a clean install of all GUI components?
Thanks
You could try the following:
sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
