Want to remove triskel and synaptic package manager doesn't work
- Login o registrati per inviare commenti
I installed triskel and triskel-recommended, now I discover that I don't like KDE, but I can't figure out how to remove it. After I installed KDE, I booted back into GNOME Classic, but now Synaptic package manager doesn't work.
Is there any single command to remove all of this?

I just copied-paste the long line from after "Install:" and before "End-Date" in a file named log. I then did some command magic:
$ tr -s ', ' '\n' < log | fgrep : | cut -d : -f 1 | tr '\n' ' '
That exactly gives what to write after "sudo apt-get remove", i.e., the command you want to execute:

Will that command remove those programs even if there are other installed programs require them?
It would remove as well the programs that depend on those listed in the command line. If there is at least one such program, 'apt-get' asks the user for confirmation before doing anything though.
The line you gave me comes from some /var/log/apt/history.log* file. The only other installed packages that would depend on those listed in the command line would have been installed after "2013-08-20 14:20:21". Less than four days ago. I believe you would remember any such an installation.
Wait we have "plasma-widget-facebook" ... sounds non-free for ethical reasons and should be removed.

"plasma-widget-facebook" is free software to interact with a service most of us do not support. Anyway, it is free software.

Well if its free software then why should it be removed? This distro
from what I understand is free software dedicated not RMS ideals dedicated.
Ahh....so much talk about nothing. This thread clearly deserves to be in the troll hole (amongst others). The seeked *so-called* one-liner is
sudo apt-get autoremove triskel*
Was it that hard?!
You are right. In that situation, it probably works.
However the 'autoremove' command is "dangerous". Especially for users that remove software from the default system (what removes the "trisquel" and/or the "trisquel-recommended" packages) or more generally for users that want a metapackage minus something. See, for instance, this post.
I asked a serious question, is there anything I don't understand?
You can use the 'autoremove' action. As mYself pointed out, it is a simpler solution. However, 'autoremove' is kind of dangerous. It removes the packages that were installed as dependencies.
For instance, Trisquel's default system actually is installed through the metapackages "trisquel" and "trisquel-recommended". If a user removes an application in the default system, she removes as well one or both of those metapackages. Then, 'autoremove' actually suggests to remove everything since the rest of the system was installed as dependencies of those two metapackages. That is certainly not desirable.
The method I suggested (seeking in the logs the dependencies that were installed along "triskel" and "triskel-recommended" and removing only those packages) is safer.
I used the method you suggested, and Triskel/KDE was removed. It is strange that now Synaptic now works after KDE was uninstalled, but not with it.
