Question

I am new to ubuntu. How to uninstall a program in ubuntu if you don't know its name? The menu is written simply as Uninstall.

Answer 1

First you need to understand what you are running and how it got into the system.
It could be just a running binary that you have docked, it could be something installed from source by make install, or it could be a normal application delivered through a package manager.
In the first case, just unpin it from the dock and delete the files that were running.
In the second, drown yourself, if you're lucky, make install brought make uninstall and it will work correctly.
In the third option, you need to define the package name.
You can do it like this:
- determine the process name through the top or system monitor
- find which binary is launched like this View ps aux | grep имя_процесса, if it is without a path, thenwhich имя_процесса
- determine which package the running executable file belongs to. dpkg -S путь_к_файлу
Well, I hope you already know how to remove a known package.
