How do I remove telldus-core?

Post by Sir John »

Hi
I have little to no knowledge of Linux, however, due to my age and my Dos experiences, I know how to handle a putty connection.
I purchased an old tellstick (Batch 7) and have installed the software on a raspberry pi in accordance to the eLinux.org instructions.
Everything went fine and FHEM recognises the Tellstick. But it does not work.
When using tdtool, I receive the message "Tellstick not found".
I installed version 2.1.2 and now want to try my luck with 2.0.4.

But how to remove the 2.1.2 version!
I know that one uses the sudo apt-get purge command, but what is the package called ?
Or am I on the wrong track?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jaxån

Try aptitude instead of apt-get. Can be used as a substitute for apt-get. It is a text menu based interface if started without arguments. Shortcuts in aptitude, if you start aptitude without arguments.
u - update package database (aptitude update)
up and down arrows moves
Enter - open, close and select. Depending on what you have selected
/ - Search for packages
+ - Install package (select for aptitude install)
- - Remove package (select for aptitude remove)
_ - Purge package (select for aptitude purge)
g - Show what commands selected (install, remove or purge), second g executes commands selected. q quit what to do
q - Quit program

That is all. If you run as ordinary user, you can easily search.

I prefere using aptitude instead of apt-get.

And by the way, "Debians Administrator's Handbook" are a real good book to learn how to manage/administrate Debian machines, and Raspian on a Raspberry are Debian based. It is free, but you support the authors if you by the paperback. Do a Google search for the Web page.
