  • Unable to uninstall Wine apps

    2 answers



I uninstalled wine thinking the Windows apps I'd installed would uninstall with it but they didn't and now they're stuck on the PC.



I tried installing wine again but now they don't show in the add/remove program tab. I should mention that one of the games I installed, Far Cry 2 (which did not work at all) gave me an error when I tried to uninstall it. That was the reason for uninstalling wine in the first place, as I thought it would remove the game with it.



Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks :)

The only way I can think of is to delete the ~/.wine folder from your system. You can do that with:



rm -rf ~/.wine


but be sure to make a back up, as the rm command can be dangerous.

  • rm is a little safer without the -f argument. Of course the -f can save a lot of time when you're sure of the action.

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 1 down vote favorite I have a spark streaming program, that reads data from a socket I have craeted using: nc -lk 9999 The program reads the data from socket and exclude the "Error" messages. When I write manually in socket, it works fine. I have created a python script that prints "Error" messages frequently. I will save the result in a file using: stdbuf -oL python my_script.py &>> my_file.txt and read the file from the socket: nc -lk 9999 | tail -f my_file.txt Every thing is ok, the socket will read data from file while the file is being updated on the background, But the problem is that my spark program doen't capture the "Error" messages.
