Can't Uninstall 3.0.2 From Ubuntu 9.04

Post by ganymede7 »

I've tried several times this evening to uninstall VirtualBox from Ubuntu 9.04 following the info in the VirtualBox Manual. According to that manual, I should type:
sudo ./VirtualBox.run uninstall

However, when I do that I get the error message "sudo: ./VirtualBox.run: command not found". What am I missing here?

How did you install it in the first place?

Are you sure you are in the correct directory before issuing the command?

Why don't you uninstall the package via Synaptic? How did you install it?

I finally uninstalled it using Synaptic. I thought of doing that last night but figured there must have been some reason why Sun suggested you do it their way. But since that didn't work, I just used the usual way. By the way, I was in /usr/bin when I issued the command. That's where the program was located.
