RE: [cobalt-users] Packages uninstall

["Jamie Rossi" <jamie.rossi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not entirely sure where you are coming from here!

I have tried the usual derivatives of su
Su
Su -
Su -l
Etc

I understand how to SU

I also understand how to use the uninstaller. 

My question was...how come when I have done exactly what you have
described I get the error "Permission denied" ?


Regards

Jamie

You need to know the owner/group of the file by listing the files using
ls -l 
BUT first do this:

su -

enter root password

cd /var/lib/cobalt/uninstallers

then type:

./ThePackageNameYouWantToUninstall

and press Enter
