Guess ill be normal and post in here, I feel bad for bothering Mr. Ender so much. I was finally able to get Vive working and encoding properly, im sure that in my haste i missed some key steps initially. However, while befuddling around i had installed ipodvidenc probably twice or so, and support files with it, and im wondering how can I find out how to uninstall it? I go to cd vive-0.2 try uninstall and it says directoiry does not exist? but i know it does, because I can run ipodvidenc through my menu... can someone please help me clean up my system from the mistakes i made, thanks in advance.

Do you want to uninstall Vive or ipodvidenc? If you want to uninstall ipodvidenc, simply do this:

sudo rm -f /usr/bin/ipodvidenc
sudo rm -rf /home/YOUR_USERNAME/.ipodvidenc/

Done

That means they worked

Fun fact about Linux: It usually assumes that you're not an idiot, so it doesn't congradulate you when you do something right. Instead, it only yells at you once you've done something wrong.

Your system is good to go

Oh, right...my fault...do you want to uninstall Vive or ipodvidenc? Knowing what you did, you don't have any bloat on your system as far as Vive installation is concerned (stuff overwrites itself...Linux is good about that). As per the ipodvidenc menu, my fault for not doing it:

sudo rm /usr/share/pixmaps/ipodvidenc.xpm
sudo rm /usr/share/applications/ipodvidenc.desktop
killall gnome-panel

You can also cd to your home folder and run:

rm -rf ipodvidenc*

And if you want to remove the Vive source, just do this:

rm -rf vive*

Should be all set

Glad I could help out

Would a "Beginner's Guide to the iPod and MP3 Players" be helpful, or is the information out there already and it would just be redundant?

[x5452]

i think it would be very helpful to have all the info "consolidated" there is a lot of info, but I must have bookmared 15 different pages when going through stuff and its easy to get lost, so I think its a good idea.

(while your here), lol, what the hell is nautilus and whys it eat my memory like candy
