Answer 1

To answer your question, you can safely uninstall the Ofono package (assuming you're not using it for its intended purpose) with a call to sudo apt-get purge ofono. It's quite likely that the error generated was because, according to your system specs, you don't have a wireless radio that would use Ofono services (i.e., GSM/UMTS).

I'm curious about why you have this installed on your machine. Is (was) there a reason for installing Ofono initially (it's an interesting package)?
