I would really like to have a computer where I run the old Mnemosyne, but I cannot figure out for the life of me how to uninstall Mnemosyne 2 from Ubuntu which I installed it in.  I have run an uninstall, but nothing happens, 2 continues working.  I have tired to load 1 over it.  Nothing happens, 2 continues working.  I have tried deleting things the way I would have in windows, 2 continues working.  I have tried the command "mnemosyne uninstall" and "sudo mnemosyne uninstall", and "mnemosyne delete" just for good measure.  Got a whole bunch of activity with "mnemosyne uninstall," but then 2 continues working.  I have tried searching for all files with the "mnemosyne" in their title and deleting them, 2 continues working.  What do I do?  I just want to downgrade to 1 so can make a new deck and study my cards!

  - Thanks for your time, Chris Shanks.

Uninstalled it through Synaptic Package Manager.  Opened it, and it still ran, just like with every other removal method I tried.

As suggested somewhere else, used "sudo apt-get remove mnemosyne," got the message "Package mnemosyne is not installed, so not removed."  Checked on it... it's still running.

If you run 'python setup.py install' for 2.0, it will print out where it has
dumped its files. On my machine, 'sudo rm /usr/local/bin/mnemosyne' removes
the main startup script. (the 2.0 libraries will not interfere with the 1.x
install.)

Thanks, I will try that.  I am going to continue using and reviewing on 2 on my main computer, but add any new cards in Mnemosyne 1 for easier review, then eventually just import those cards into 2 when everything is sorted out.  Thanks for your help.
