Hello,

I have tried Thinlinc on one of my server for a few weeks but I would like now to uninstall it. I must be blind because I couldn’t find in the docs on through search engines the way to uninstall it.

I have tried “sudo ./install-server --help” or “sudo ./install-server -h” but this doesn’t give anything.

Anyone knows?

Thank you

Hi,

Yeah, agreed, it would be good to have some documentation on how to uninstall.

ThinLinc is best uninstalled using your system’s own tools, ie “sudo dnf remove thinlinc-_" or "sudo apt remove thinlinc-_”.

Hi,

thanks for your answer but I installed it through the Thinlinc installer. So no dnf, rpm or whatever… Just some files a bit all around.

I understand. What the ThinLinc installer does is that it will detect which system you’re on and use the tools on that system. That means if you’re on a 64-bit RPM system the ThinLinc installer will install rpm packages for ThinLinc matching your machine.

You can run `rpm -qa thinlinc-*` if you want to see the packages that has been installed, and for example `rpm -ql thinlinc-webaccess` to list the files installed by a package.

I just presumed the installer was copying files all around the system. Great that it actually uses RPM! Therefore quite easy to remove!

Thanks a lot.
