Forcefully remove Firestarter without IPTables kernel support
I made the mistake of installing Firestarter on a system that had no kernel support for IPTables. In order to remove it I did the following.
Run this script:
rm -f -R /etc/firestarter
rm -f /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh
rm -f -R /etc/init.d/firestarter
rm -f -R /root/.gnome2/firestarter
rm -f -R /root/.gconf/apps/firestarter
rm -f -R /usr/share/doc/firestarter
rm -f /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo
rm -f /usr/share/locale/ml/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo
rm -f /usr/share/locale/cs/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo
rm -f /usr/share/locale/sr@Latn/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo
rm -f /usr/share/locale/az/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo
rm -f /usr/share/locale/ga/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo
rm -f /usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo
rm -f /usr/share/locale/lv/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo
rm -f /usr/share/locale/sq/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo
rm -f /usr/share/locale/no/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo
rm -f /usr/share/locale/pt_BR/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo
rm -f /usr/share/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo

rm -f /usr/share/locale/ko/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo
rm -f /usr/share/locale/sk/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo

rm -f /usr/share/locale/uk/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo
rm -f /usr/share/locale/fi/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo
rm -f /usr/share/locale/ro/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo
rm -f /usr/share/locale/sv/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo
rm -f /usr/share/locale/pt/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo
rm -f /usr/share/locale/pa/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo
rm -f /usr/share/locale/ca/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo
rm -f /usr/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/firestarter.mo
rm -f /usr/share/menu/firestarter
rm -f -R /usr/share/firestarter
rm -f /usr/share/pixmaps/firestarter.xpm
rm -f /usr/share/pixmaps/firestarter.png
rm -f /usr/share/gnome/apps/Internet/firestarter.desktop
rm -f /usr/share/man/man8/firestarter.8.gz
rm -f /usr/share/gconf/schemas/firestarter.schemas
rm -f /usr/sbin/firestarter
rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/info/firestarter.preinst
rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/info/firestarter.conffiles
rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/info/firestarter.prerm
rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/info/firestarter.md5sums
rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/info/firestarter.list
rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/info/firestarter.postinst
rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/info/firestarter.postrm
Then run the following commands:
sudo apt-get remove firestarter
It will now remove. This will save you from having to recompile the kernel to just unistall it. Die Firestarter! DIEEEEE!
