Install "Vroid studio" using wine. Then I realised that steam's proton does a better job in running this app in linux. So I decided to delete the wine version of VRoid and install Proton's version of VRoid. I thought I deleted it, but it just stayed in the menu. Without deciding to look it up, I deleted all the files of VRoid from the install directory, then uninstalled again. No results.
Then, after searching for some answers here, I found that wine has an application called "uninstall wine software" in the menu. But I think I also screwed up somewhere during wine installation because I don't have it.
Then I also found out that you can run the app using terminal. I open it and when I press "modify/remove" I get an error message saying that the app has no files associated with it. It gave me an option to remove it from the entries. I did so. But surprise, It's still there. It's just like become permanent. Wine can't even remove it. I tried deleting via the menu entry, still no results.
Wine ships with an uninstaller utility. similar to add/remove programs in Windows. it should work with most programs, but possibly not some MSI installers... This is the program you are referring to, but it should exist.
Sounds like a noob question, does it not? Well, turns out, some things aren't trivial. In fact, thewhole WINE framework isn't trivial. There are many ways you can go about trying to install andconfigure Windows software on Linux machines. You have 32-bit and 64-bit WINE, there's UI (butit's weird) and command line, you can also use winetricks, and then some.
Most if not all of the guides related to WINE out there showcase testing and installing software -but not how to remove said software. Well, in this short little tutorial, I'd like to explain how youdo exactly that. And because things aren't simple, we will do this in several different ways. Afterme.
On the command line, just type this: wine uninstaller. This will launch an Add/Remove applet similar to whatyou get in Windows, which will list your installed WINE programs. The name and the invocation aredefinitely not intuitive. Henceforth, the actions are simple.
What you can do in that case is delete entries from user.reg and system.reg files. We talked aboutthese files when we tweaked Notepad++, so you should be familiar with their existenceand purpose. These files act as sort of registry database for your installed WINE software. If youremove data from these files, you effectively unregister applications. Search for the relevant entries(grep) in these two files and delete what you no longer need. This can be a tedious process, but itwill allow you to clean up your WINE setup without deleting everything. For instance:
If you're still not happy, or you want to complete remove WINE, just delete the entire .wine folderin your home directory. This means you will need to rerun all your configurations if you decide toreinstall WINE one day. Be extra careful running this command so you do not delete your data. Ifyou're not sure, first change into this folder and then delete contents inside it.
Another mildly obscure tutorial comes to an end. But I'd like to believe it's been useful, becausemost of WINE stuff isn't trivial. You do need a fair degree of lateral thinking to understand all thebits and pieces, the hybrid model that's not quite Linux and not quite Windows.
One of the more difficult tasks is software removal. Most people are okay with wine "program", toget their applications installed (provided this works, as it's by no means guaranteed), but theremoval isn't a straightforward anti-symmetry of this command. If you're familiar with Linux, you'dexpect something along the lines of dnf install, dnf remove. Well, hopefully, we've cleared theconfusion. Lastly, since we're talking about WINE products, so to speak, proverbially, all that is leftto say is prost, salute, and of course ...
When I install wine and wine-tricks. Both programms will appear correct in the application menu. When I then install a windows programm inside wine this programm is also be a part of the application menu. When I uninstall wine and wine tricks. Both programms were removed from the application menu. But the installed windows programms, which will not work anymore without wine are still in the application menu. Under Linux Mint all windows programms will also be removed form the application menu when wine is uninstalled.
This is not Mabox issue.
You installed a windows app inside a so called wine bottle. Therefore the correct way to remove wine completely is to first remove the application(s) installed.
According to some docs I read one way to do this is to open a terminal and run wine uninstaller (without quotes). This will give you access to the built in Add/Remove tool from wine. From there you can uninstall a program you have installed in a bottle.
After that an uninstall of wine should remove wine itself.
This question does not appear to be about a specific programming problem, a software algorithm, or software tools primarily used by programmers. If you believe the question would be on-topic on another Stack Exchange site, you can leave a comment to explain where the question may be able to be answered.
I installed League Of Legends on my ubuntu 22.04 through lutris using wine. I have now uninstalled it using lutris again. Although it has left behind the League Of Legends and the Riot Client app icons in the ubuntu application grid. I want to remove them and i don't know how. Any ideas?
Wine is available thanks to the work of many people around the world. Some companies that are or have been involved with Wine development are CodeWeavers, Bordeaux, TransGaming, Corel, Macadamian and Google. See Acknowledgements and Wine History.
Wine increases the usefulness of Linux, makes it easier for users to switch to free operating systems, and for Windows developers to make applications that work on them. This greatly raises Linux marketshare, drawing more commercial and community developers to Linux.
When users think of an emulator, they tend to think of things like game console emulators or virtualization software. However, Wine is a compatibility layer - it runs Windows applications in much the same way Windows does. There is no inherent loss of speed due to "emulation" when using Wine, nor is there a need to open Wine before running your application.
That said, Wine can be thought of as a Windows emulator in much the same way that Windows Vista can be thought of as a Windows XP emulator: both allow you to run the same applications by translating system calls in much the same way. Setting Wine to mimic Windows XP is not much different from setting Vista to launch an application in XP compatibility mode.
"Wine is not just an emulator" is more accurate. Thinking of Wine as just an emulator is really forgetting about the other things it is. Wine's "emulator" is really just a binary loader that allows Windows applications to interface with the Wine API replacement.
Wine is the base of the project, where most of the work is being done. Wine is not perfect, but tens of thousands of people nevertheless use "vanilla" Wine successfully to run a large number of Windows programs.
CrossOver is a product made by a company called CodeWeavers that is based directly on Wine with a few tweaks and proprietary add-ons. Unlike the biweekly Wine releases, CrossOver releases are rigorously tested for compatibility with CodeWeavers' supported applications in order to prevent "regressions". CodeWeavers employs a large proportion of the Wine developers and provides a great deal of leadership for the project. All improvements to Wine eventually work their way into CrossOver.
Proton is a compatibility tool comprised of various software, developed by Valve for use with their proprietary Steam client. It is a bundle consisting of a fork of WINE, DXVK - a translation layer for converting Direct3D 9/10/11 API calls to Vulkan, VKD3D-Proton - Valve's fork of VKD3D for translating Direct3D 12 to Vulkan, FAudio, and a wide range of experimental patches to increase performance and/or compatibility for video games. It is only intended for use within the proprietary Steam client, though nearly all of its components are open source, and it is capable of running non-Steam software. The Steam client also provides drop-in support for other user-created compatibility layers, such as forks of Proton. All improvements to WINE will eventually work their way into Proton, just like CrossOver.
Cedega (formerly WineX) was a product from a company called TransGaming. TransGaming based their product on Wine back in 2002 when Wine had a different license, closed their source code, and rebranded their version as specialized for gamers. In the years since Cedega was originally created from Wine, development on Wine and Cedega continued mostly independently, until the discontinuation of Cedega in 2011. TransGaming gave back very little code to Wine. Wine has had years of development since Cedega was discontinued, and has surpassed Cedega in compatibility. Notably, for a long time Cedega still had more advanced copy protection support due to TransGaming's licensing of (closed source) code from a handful of copy protection companies. Unlike CrossOver and Proton, most improvements to Wine didn't get into Cedega due to the license differences between Cedega and Wine. Cedega has been unsupported for many years, and its usage should be avoided.
Normally you do not have to use the command line to use Wine in Linux. You can use a graphical interface for most things, much like on Windows. In many cases you can right-click an installer and select "Open with Wine", or just double-click it. You can start installed programs using the shortcut icon or menu.
However, there are several situations when you might need to use the command line. The most common reason is to get debug output when your program does not run properly. You might also want to use utilities such as regedit that do not have menu shortcuts (note that you can create them using whatever tools your DE provides).
