how to uninstall an app?

[d3monz]

On ubuntu, we've got the 'add/remove' button, but on mint i cannot find nothing like it. Anyone could help me?

By the way, my mint version is daryna 4.0

You can do it with apt
Open Synaptic and right click the application...

Yeah, i know it, but i'd like to have an easier option to do this... Just like ubuntu add/remove aplications button. Is there a way to do like this or the only available is using synaptic?

I don't think there's a button like the one you're used to. But another option is typing

Code: Select all

apt remove [Program Name]

in a terminal.

Thanks for the help, but i´d like to know an easy way to do it. Anyway, i think the developers could keep that add/remove button from ubuntu. Even though the mintinstall make it easy to install, at least, we´ve got to have a mintuninstall to do the opposite.

You can install the "Add/Remove" interface in Mint by doing the following.

Open up a terminal. Type the following command:

sudo apt-get install gnome-app-install

I have also seen this command with a -y modifier at the end, but I don't know what the -y does. You can try it that way if you want. It would then be:

sudo apt-get install gnome-app-install -y
