Go to the LINA download page.

Uninstalling on Windows

To clean up an earlier LINA install on a system running Windows, do the following:

  • In the event of a failed install, first reboot your computer, then clean up the registry by typing "regedit" at the command prompt. Remove the LINA Software registry entry under "SOFTWARE" in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and entry
  • Stop the process linawindowsservice using the process manager that can be accessed by holding down the "CTRL-ALT-DELETE" keys.
  • Remove the directory "C:\Program Files\Lina Software".
  • Remove the subdirectory "C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile.VirtualBox".

Uninstalling on Mac OS X

Please use the removelina.sh script to clean things up and get a fresh start. The script may be downloaded here: http://openlina.org/download/current/removelina.sh

To remove LINA from your system by hand, simply remove the /usr/lina and /opt/lina directories and the .VirtualBox directory under the Library subdirectory of the user's home directory.

Here are the commands to issue from a Terminal session. Terminal is found in the Applications:Utilities folder:

sudo rm -rf /usr/lina sudo rm -rf /opt/lina rm -rf /Users/user/Library/.VirtualBox

You will be prompted for an Administrator’s password and username if you are not an administrator.

Alternatively, to clean up a failed or previous installation on a Mac using the Finder interface:

Move the "LINA.pkg" file in your boot-disk/Library/Receipts folder to the Trash.

Click on the Go menu item and pull down to "Go to Folder" or Shift-Command-G and enter "/usr" without the quotes. Drag the lina folder to the Trash. Open the "/opt" folder the same way and if there is a lina folder there, move that one to the Trash, too. Then, in your home/Library folder, throw away the VirtualBox folder if there is one. Empty the trash and you should be ready to reinstall.

To remove LINA entirely using the Terminal, open a Terminal session and enter: sudo rm -rf /usr/lina Since we use the standard Apple Package installer, you will have to throw away the LINA.pkg file in the boot-disk/Library/Receipts folder before the LINA installer will proceed.

To remove any apps you may have installed, enter: sudo rm -rf /opt/lina. The apps are also installed in an Applications Folder in your home directory, not the usual Applications directory. We create this folder if it does not exist. All LINA apps will be there.

Uninstalling on Linux

To clean up a failed or previous installation on a system running Linux: Remove the /usr/lina, /opt/lina and /home/user/Applications/ directories. From the command line:

  • sudo rm -rf /usr/lina
  • sudo rm -rf /opt/lina

Icons for installed apps may exist in various application startup menu locations. These will be overwritten by subsequent installs or can be removed manually. The uninstallers are not fully automated at this point but should be available soon.
