Hi,
I'm not a Linux expert, sorry about that.
I recently installed MakeMKV on my Linux system, Ubuntu 22.04.2.
I wanted to rip my collection of HD-DVD, but unforntunately, MakeMKV version 1.17.4 doesn't work at all with HD-DVD (it crashes while attempting to decrypt the disk - exact same result on the Windows version...).
So, I want to remove it from my system, but I can't.
It is not visible among the installed applications. Snap can't find it, and a "sudo apt remove makemkv" doesn't work either.
Again, I'm quite a newbie on Linux .
Thanks for your help.

Re: How to uninstall MakeMKV 1.17.4 on Ubuntu
On my Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu) the installation of makemkv-oss and makemkv-bin created the following files, links or directories:
You could delete all those files as root -- but be careful: deleting the wrong files may destroy your system.
Also my in my home directory there is a (hidden) directory .MakeMKV that stores configuration. I would consider to delete this directory and its content also.
Code: Select all
/usr/bin/makemkv
/usr/bin/mmccextr
/usr/bin/mmgplsrv
/usr/lib/libdriveio.so.0
/usr/lib/libmakemkv.so.1
/usr/lib/libmmbd.so.0
/usr/share/applications/makemkv.desktop
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/makemkv.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/makemkv.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/makemkv.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/makemkv.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/makemkv.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/makemkv.png
/usr/bin/makemkvcon
/usr/bin/sdftool
/usr/share/MakeMKV
/usr/share/MakeMKV/appdata.tar
/usr/share/MakeMKV/blues.jar
/usr/share/MakeMKV/blues.policy
Also my in my home directory there is a (hidden) directory .MakeMKV that stores configuration. I would consider to delete this directory and its content also.

If one were to peruse the content of the Makefile located in the directories used to compile and install the app there is usually a list of commands on the form
that clearly show the files installed. I believe this is a full listing of the files installed from the 'oss' compile, but may not be. One only needs to peruse that list, knowing the content of the variables used such as '$(DESTDIR)' , '$(libdir)', etc. and they can find the entire list of files created and installed.
Removing all the installed files would clean the installation up thoroughly.
Code: Select all
install: out/libdriveio.so.0 out/libmakemkv.so.1 $(OUT_GUI) out/libmmbd.so.0 out/mmccextr out/mmgplsrv
$(INSTALL) -D -m 644 out/libdriveio.so.0 $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/libdriveio.so.0
$(INSTALL) -D -m 644 out/libmakemkv.so.1 $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/libmakemkv.so.1
$(INSTALL) -D -m 644 out/libmmbd.so.0 $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/libmmbd.so.0
ifeq ($(DESTDIR),)
ldconfig
endif
ifeq ($(ENABLE_GUI),yes)
$(INSTALL) -D -m 755 out/makemkv $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/makemkv
$(INSTALL) -D -m 644 makemkvgui/share/makemkv.desktop $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/applications/makemkv.desktop
$(INSTALL) -D -m 644 makemkvgui/share/icons/16x16/makemkv.png $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/makemkv.png
$(INSTALL) -D -m 644 makemkvgui/share/icons/22x22/makemkv.png $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/makemkv.png
$(INSTALL) -D -m 644 makemkvgui/share/icons/32x32/makemkv.png $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/makemkv.png
$(INSTALL) -D -m 644 makemkvgui/share/icons/64x64/makemkv.png $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/makemkv.png

$(INSTALL) -D -m 644 makemkvgui/share/icons/256x256/makemkv.png $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/makemkv.png
endif
$(INSTALL) -D -m 755 out/mmccextr $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/mmccextr
$(INSTALL) -D -m 755 out/mmgplsrv $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/mmgplsrv
