[mootaph]

hi friends, i want to uninstall aircrack-ng 1.1 but i can not. when i try in terminal, it says "Virtual packages like 'aircrack-ng' can't be removed". how to uninstall?

[CharlesA]

How did you install it in the first place?

I don't believe it is in the Ubuntu repos.

It was not in the Ubuntu repos. So i installed like there: http://www.riyazwalikar.com/2010/12/installing-aircrack-ng-on-ubuntu-1204.html

Check the instructions in the tar.gz you installed.

There is no instructions in the tar.gz. only it says "make uninstall".

Hi, change into the directory that it is installed into then this should get rid of it:

make clean
sudo make uninstall

[mootaph]

sorry but how can i do it? i don't know where the program installed and where is running. :(

[Mopar1973Man]

Actually AirCrack is listed in the Synaptic Package Manager and it will install and uninstall it for you.


sudo apt-get install synaptic

[mootaph]

no sir, it is not in the synaptic.

[Curtis6767]

whereis aircrack

Try that. You'll probably have to get the name perfect so if it is aircrack-ng1.1, then type that in exactly.

yes i tried it but not helped. perfect name "aircrack". then i tried that : sudo apt-get remove aircrack. but terminal said that E: unable to locate package aircrack.

please, i don't know how to fix the problem. help me.

This is the way to uninstall a program compiled from source.

I doubt it will be listed in synaptic or any other package manager.

when i write in terminal it says:


yusuf@yusuf-Lenovo-IdeaPad-S10-2:~$ make clean
make: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop.
yusuf@yusuf-Lenovo-IdeaPad-S10-2:~$ sudo make uninstall
[sudo] password for yusuf:
make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop.
yusuf@yusuf-Lenovo-IdeaPad-S10-2:~$

and it is not listed in synaptic.

You need to run it from the aircrack-ng-1.1 folder you unzipped from the tar.gz file.

how can i do it? i tried, it is in the home folder. first is tar.gz and second is folder. in the folder there are executable icons. i clicked aircrack-ng but not work.

[CharlesA]

cd ~/aircrack-ng-1.1
make clean
sudo make uninstall

[mootaph]

cd ~/aircrack-ng-1.1
make clean
sudo make uninstall

[CharlesA]

Yes. You can delete those two.

Please mark the thread as solved from thread tools. :)

[wildmanne39]

Hi, how to get aircrack and airdecloak working is no longer a supported topic on the forum, it is best discussed on the backtrack forum .
Thanks

[wildmanne39]

rm -f /usr/local/sbin/airdecloak-ng
copy and paste for accuracy.
Thanks

hi, i tried. in the third trying i wrote: rm -f /usr/local/bin/airdecloak-ng. because program is in not "sbin" but in "bin" folder.

sudo rm -v /usr/local/sbin/airdecloak-ng

Generally this is not the best way to remove a program, though.

Sorry about that... I know I had it in the synaptic list back when I was on 11.10 but now its gone with 12.04...

[mootaph]

Probably.

Outside of using find and removing them manually, no.

very hard to find :(

Why not go back to the site where you originally got the info on how to download and install aircrack and ask how it can be removed?
