Hy folks,

Does anyone knows hot to uninstall/remvove GNOME from Solaris9. I have installed GNOME & CDE, I wanna uninstall-remove gnome but CDE to stay on SOl9.
How can I accomplish this?

Is gnome a package? check
pkginfo | grep -i gnome
remove the package with
pkgrm SUNWpackagename

Best Regards, Franz

It is a cluster of packages....but under n names.... so it is difficult to remove it. I tahs about 20 packages regarding to gnome..

# shutdown -i0 -g0 -y

I found this;


Uninstalling the Desktop
To uninstall the desktop perform the following steps:

Log in as root, then open a terminal window.

Run the following command: /usr/sbin/remove-gnome

I did not have a system to try this on so I can't say how it works.

Thanks

I found this info too.
I have tried /usr/sbin/remove-gnome, but that script/command/excutable does not exist.

# shutdown -i0 -g0 -y
 
would you post the result of
# pkginfo | grep -i gnome
please?

Best Regards, Franz
