Ubuntu – How to uninstall the experimental HUD PPA

12.04hudunity

I installed HUD via these two steps:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:unity-team/hud
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I tested it, but now I have problems entering Applications Menus, e.g. by Pressing Alt+E for Edit Menu.

So I want to uninstall and so I removed the ppa from the sources. I did this from the Settings Menu of the Update Manager. I think I need to remove the app by doing sudo apt-get remove xxx.

But I don't know how it is called… hud-cli isn't there.

Best Answer

Use the following commands:

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:unity-team/hud

If you've already manually removed the PPA from your sources, re-add it so the purge can be conducted.

You may need to reboot before the uninstallation takes effect.
