How Do I Completely Remove Totem?

Asked by taurus

I have ubuntu 8.04 and I tried using the following 2 commands in terminal to completely remove Totem but without success:

sudo aptitude remove totem

and

sudo aptitude remove --purge totem

Both commands don't remove Totem from my system. I'm still able to load Totem. How can I completely remove Totem?

.

Vishal, how are you? I did waht you asked and this is the result:

x@xx:~$ sudo apt-get autoremove --purge totem
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package totem is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.

After I did this, I was still able to load up totem. I really don't understand this. However, in looking at totem-related apps in synaptics, I came across these apps that are still installed in my system:

totem-common
totem-gstreamer
totem-mozilla
totem-plugins

Should I go ahead and remove these from my system as a possibility of finally getting rid of totem for good?

Go to Synaptic (System → Administration → Synaptic), search "totem" and mark for remove all packages with totem in their name ;-)
