Is the a way to completely remove Phoronix Test Suite with it's test results, installed suits, etc… from my system? I used the .sh installer file to install the Phoronix Test Suite on my system.

So if there is can you share the information with me

when i try to just uninstall it this is what I get

Package 'phoronix-test-suite' is not installed, so not removed

    Which .sh installer (link please), and do you still have it? (if a tarball, uncompressed how you used to install)

The installation script installs the same as the deb package. Therefore install and remove the deb package.

  1. Download the deb package

    cd
wget http://phoronix-test-suite.com/releases/repo/pts.debian/files/phoronix-test-suite_5.8.0_all.deb

  2. Install the test suite

    sudo dpkg -i phoronix-test-suite_5.8.0_all.deb

  3. Remove the test suite

    sudo apt-get purge phoronix-test-suite

    @Levan - probably the 'easiest' as there are quite a lot of files...

    @Levan Sure, use deb files instead of installer scripts :)

From examing the install script of v5.8.1 tarball from here, the script installs stuff to the following locations:

$DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/share/phoronix-test-suite
$DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/share/doc/phoronix-test-suite/
$DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/share/man/man1/phoronix-test-suite.1
$DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/../etc/bash_completion.d/phoronix-test-suite
$DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/phoronix-test-suite.png
$DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/share/applications/phoronix-test-suite.desktop
$DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/share/applications/phoronix-test-suite-launcher.desktop
$DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/share/appdata/phoronix-test-suite.appdata.xml
$DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/../usr/lib/systemd/system/phoromatic-client.service
$DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/../usr/lib/systemd/system/phoromatic-systemd/phoromatic-server.service
(probably:)
$DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/share/mime/packages/openbenchmarking-mime.xml
$DESTDIR$INSTALL_PREFIX/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/mimetypes/application-x-openbenchmarking.png

Where by default:

  • $DESTDIR is not set, so ignored
  • $INSTALL_PREFIX = /usr

So if you ran the install script without options or changing it, you should be able to remove it by running rm /usr/share/man/man1/phoronix-test-suite.1, rm -r /usr/share/phoronix-test-suite, etc.

By the way there is are packages available (e.g. http://phoronix-test-suite.com/releases/repo/pts.debian/files/phoronix-test-suite_5.8.0_all.deb ) - using packages if they are available is usually best/less annoying.
