Uninstalling Netbeans 6.1 From Ubuntu 8.10
November 23, 2008 | Filed under: IT | Author: armandI have downloaded netbeans 6.5 yesterday and I would like to uninstall the old version (6.1) from my notebook. I have already known that there’s no conflict to have both version installed, but I would like to reduce the space on my hard drive.
Uninstalling netbeans is sligthly different in Ubuntu. We have to run the uninstall script (uninstall.sh) in which we have installed netbeans. So, I went to find the installation directory and type this command:
armand@armandbook:~/netbeans-6.1$ sudo sh uninstall.sh
The Installer wizard would appear then simply choose uninstall, wait for the uninstallation completed as shown on this screenshot:

After finished removing Netbeans 6.1, I would like to install the latest version (6.5), so I was running the installer script (netbeans-6.5-ml-linux.sh), but I got this message:
armand@armandbook:~/Downloads$ sh netbeans-6.5-ml-linux.sh

Installer file /home/armand/Downloads/netbeans-6.5-ml-linux.sh seems to be corrupted
Wow, It was annoyed, I was pretty sure that the file I have downloaded was corrupted 
I think that I should download it again using my limited broadband connection, argh…
