1 Answer 1

VMWare Workstation doesn’t ship in a deb, so it isn’t registered in dpkg (which is why you can’t find it in the software center). It does have an install and uninstall utility though.

To uninstall VMWare Workstation, you will need to run:

sudo vmware-installer --uninstall-product vmware-workstation

If you just run:

vmware-installer

by itself, it will print all the options you have available. If you run:

vmware-installer -l

It will print a list of all VMWare products you have installed.

Similarly, to uninstall VMWare Player:

sudo vmware-installer --uninstall-product vmware-player

У вмваре инсталлятор аццкий, и не деб, и по всей системе себя расфасовывает. Как его теперь снести, я совсем понять не могу.

апд: вопрос продержался не долго, нашел скрипт /usr/bin/vmware-uninstall.pl =) но тема пусть будет на всякий)
*так и тему нужно было переименовать.

+1 конечно оно банально, но многие не догадаются. Ставлю ПЛЮС +.

Гость — 5 Июнь, 2009 — 07:43

Большое спасибо. У меня VMware заблокировал доступ к ntfs-разделам жёсткого диска. Буду пробовать ставить VirtualBox

Гость — 19 Август, 2010 — 18:50

Спасибо огромное! Верно подметил balamutick, догадаться оказалось непросто 🙂

Немного обновлю пост.
После обновления до 10.10 VMware наотрез отказывается работать.
Собственно решил его удалить. То, что написано в шапке уже не канает.
Удаляется теперь следующим образом:
Смотрим список установленных продуктов:
# vmware-installer -l
Смотрим какой продукт хотим «приговорить» и пишем следущее:
# vmware-installer -u $product_name
В моем случае выглядит так:
root@home-pc:~# vmware-installer -l
Product Name Product Version
====================== ====================
vmware-player 3.1.2.301548
root@home-pc:~# vmware-installer -u vmware-player

How to Uninstall VMware WorkStation in Linux?

VMware is a well-known hypervisor that supports multiple operating systems on a single desktop. It platforms virtualization software and products, of which VMware Workstation is one. VMware Workstation is a lightweight and feature-enriched virtualization tool to run multiple operating systems on a single computing device.

This guide enlists all the possible ways to uninstall the VMware workstation in Linux with the following outlines:

Method 1: Using Uninstaller Script
Method 2: Manually Uninstall the VMWare

Method 1: Uninstall VMware Workstation Using Uninstaller Script

The first method is to use the “VMware-tools” uninstaller script to uninstall it in Linux:

Type the below-mentioned command with the superuser privileges, i.e., “sudo” in the terminal. Press the “Enter” key, and the uninstallation process will be started:

$ sudo vmware-installer -u vmware-workstation

The output shows that “VMware workstation” has been completely removed/uninstalled from the system

Method 2: Uninstall VMware Workstation in Linux Manually

If the above method fails then uninstall the “VMware workstation” manually by following some essential steps.

Step 1: Stop VMware Services and Processes

First, shut down and close all the “Vmware” running services and processes in the “/etc/init.d/”directory.

This directory contains the initialization and termination scripts of “Vmware workstation”:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/vmware stop

All the “Vmware workstation” services have been stopped.

For more verification, use the following combination of “lsmod(List Modules)” and the “grep” command:

$ lsmod | grep vm

It is verified that the services are successfully stopped.

Step 2: Move the VM libraries

The “VMware workstation” libraries are in the “misc” directory. So first move into it using the “cd(change directory)” and the “kernel version” of the current system in the following way:

$ cd /lib/modules/5.15.0-52-generic/misc

The directory has been changed:

Execute the “mv(move)” command to move all the VM libraries from “misc” to temporary “/tmp” directory:

$ sudo mv vm* /tmp

Step 3: Remove the VMware Logon Scripts

The next step is to remove the startup scripts of “Vmware” one by using the below typed “rm(remove)” command.

The “rc2.d” scripts are used for starting and stopping the process:

$ sudo rm /etc/rc2.d/init.d/rc2.d/*vmware* #For RedHat and Other Distributions $ sudo rm /etc/rc2.d/*vmware* #For Ubuntu/Debian,

Remove the next script, “rc3.d”, that contains all the executable scripts starting at the boot time of the Linux system:

$ sudo rm /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc3.d/*vmware* #For RedHat and Other Distributions $ sudo rm /etc/rc3.d/*vmware* #For Ubuntu/Debian

Lastly, remove the “rc6.d” which helps to kill the active processes and unmount the filesystem:

$ sudo rm /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc6.d/*vmware* #For RedHat and Other Distributions $ sudo rm /etc/rc6.d/*vmware* #For Ubuntu/Debian

All the startup scripts regarding “VMware workstation” have been removed.

Step 4: Remove the VMware Files and Directories (Recommended)

It is recommended to remove the “VMware workstation” files and the directories located in the “/etc” directory:

$ sudo rm -rf /etc/vmware*

Next, remove all the “VMware” USB arbitration services in the following way:

$ sudo rm /usr/bin/vmware-usbarbitrator

Remove all the “vmnet” kernel modules remaining files and directories:

$ sudo rm /usr/bin/vmnet*

Delete the “VMware” libraries recursively with the “-r” flag of the “rm” command:

$ sudo rm -r /usr/lib/vmware*

In last, remove the “VMware” tools remaining directories:

$ sudo rm -r /usr/share/doc/vmware*

After doing so, the VMWare Workstation has been removed from the system completely.

Conclusion

In Linux, use the “VMware installer” to automatically uninstall the VMware workstation. Apart from that, the user can also remove it manually by removing all of its libraries, modules, and additional files/directories. This guide has briefly described all possible methods to uninstall VMware workstations in Linux.
