How to uninstall Virtul Box

STUKguy · 17. Februar 2021

Hi,

So i made the mistake of following this guide and installing vitual box on my OMV, please can someone advise me on how i remove this?so i dont have VB on my system anymore?

if you want to uninstall only VB, then:

Code

sudo apt remove virtualbox-6.1

or even better would be:

Code

sudo apt autoremove --purge virtualbox*

You can probably uninstall php7.3-soap too and remove folder /var/www/phpvirtualbox

Hi greg77 , Thank you. Wish i had never installed this guide. Is there away to get rid of the WebGUI?

from the guide i removed the following referances

Code

Create configfifle for website "phpvirtualbox-webgui" that runs in NGINX
[tt]nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/phpvirtualbox-webgui[/tt]
Create configuration file for "php-fpm"
[tt]nano /etc/php/7.3/fpm/pool.d/phpvirtualbox-webgui.conf[/tt]
Activate PHPVirtualbox website
[tt]sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/phpvirtualbox-webgui /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/[/tt]

and then i restarted NGIX but the WebGUI is still there.

so you removed:

Code

sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-available/phpvirtualbox-webgui
sudo rm /etc/php/7.3/fpm/pool.d/phpvirtualbox-webgui.conf
sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-available/phpvirtualbox-webgui

and GUI is still there?

greg77 ,yep

Please paste here a results of these two commands:

Code

find / -iname *phpvirtualbox*

and

Code

grep -R "phpvirtualbox" /etc/* | less

1st will output all files matching pattern *phpvirtualbox* in their name (case insensitive)

2nd will find all files in /etc which content word phpvirtualbox in them

In both cases we expect config files of php or a web server.

Hi greg77 Thank you for your help, Had a power outage the other day but when everything was back up and running VB including the webGUI had deisapeared a long with all traces, so i guess everything is ok now.

Now i just need to find a VB install that will work either via docker or script install.

Thank you again.
