How to uninstall rhythmbox-plugins from Ubuntu

by admin

There are many different approaches to audio players under Linux. Some players focus on minimalism, others focus on features, and some aim to provide similar functionality to a media player on another platform. Rhythmbox falls into the latter category, as it was created to provide an iTunes-like interface for audio under Linux.

To play those songs, start up Rhythmbox, a music player modeled after features from Apple’s iTunes. Rhythmbox will require a few moments to index your music collection before you use it. If it doesn’t index your music library immediately, or if it doesn’t find all your songs, select Music → Import Folder.

You can uninstall or removes an installed rhythmbox-plugins package from Ubuntu through the terminal as shown below:

$ sudo apt-get remove rhythmbox-plugins 

Uninstall rhythmbox-plugins including dependent package

If you would like to remove rhythmbox-plugins and it’s dependent packages which are no longer needed from Ubuntu:

$ sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove rhythmbox-plugins 

When it comes to other packages, they are generally safe to remove with the apt autoremove command, since the majority of them will be packages that were installed as a dependency of another package that is no longer present on the system. However, double-check that you really do want to remove each of the packages before you do so. You can always reinstall a package if you didn’t mean to install it, and as an added benefit, if you reinstall a package that was marked for auto-removal, it won’t show up in the output as an orphan package in the future.

Use Purging rhythmbox-plugins

If you’d like to not only remove a package but also wipe out its configuration, you can use the –purge option:

$ sudo apt-get purge rhythmbox-plugins 

If you use purge option along with –auto-remove, everything regarding the package will be removed. It’s really useful when you want to reinstall it again.

$ sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove rhythmbox-plugins
