Remove "redhat-menus"

Boby · 09-09-2005, 11:29 AM

Hello!

I am running Cent OS, and have intalled "redhat-menus" via apt-get. I really don't like the new menu and I can't uninstall the package. Tried "rpm -e redhat-menus", also with Synaptic but it always wants to uninstall all applications of the menu. Then I force installed "redhat-menus0", that should rebuild the menu to the old style, but it wasn't so.
I am running Gnome 2.8

How can I get my old menu back without removing all applications with redhat-menus?

Thank you!

Try doing,

Code:

#rpm -e --nodeps --force packagename

Once thats done, install the old menu rpm.

Hi again!

I used this commands:

Code:

# rpm -e --nodeps --force redhat-menus-3.8-0.1.3.kde
rpm: only installation, upgrading, rmsource and rmspec may be forced

# rpm -e --nodeps redhat-menus-3.8-0.1.3.kde

Wich is the default gnome menu package? Because I have now 13 borken packages

control-center
desktop-printing
dia
gdm
gnome-desktop
gnome-panel
gnome-vsf2
gthumb
htmlview
kdelibs
nautilus
openoffice.org
xmms

The problem is I can't download that much...could I reinstall them from cd or will the original gnome menu package fix them? And which is it?

Thank you!

Sorry, the --force flag is for installing only. When I experienced the same problem a while ago, I just looked for the version of the Redhat menus package (it didn't have the KDE bit) that was available before the new package and installed that. That restored my menus to what they were before.
