real player uninstall

[mavenuparker]

I've installed Real Player 11....
There is no sound output so i tried to uninstall it using(Followed a forum....Im an absolute beginner)

sudo dpkg -r realplayer

it returned

dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove realplayer, only the config
files of which are on the system. Use --purge to remove them too.

sudo dpkg -r realplay 11.0.1.1056

dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove realplay which isn't installed.
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove 11.0.1.1056 which isn't installed.


locate realplay

/home/lakshmi/.config/real/realplayerrc
/var/cache/apt/archives/realplayer_11.0.0-0.2medibuntu2_i386.deb
/var/lib/dpkg/info/realplayer.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/realplayer.postrm

i tried removing them using

sudo rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/info/realplayer.list
sudo rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/info/realplayer.postrm

but that did not give any reply....
i still have the real player in Applications-->Sound and video--> Real Player 11
now...when i try to play a media file it simply crashes down....


i tried changing the 52nd line to some thing else (as said in other forum)
now the video alone plays with pauses and no sound output....

Please help me uninstall it or reinstall it ....
I'd be very thankful for your help....
Thanks in advance

Assuming you installed from that deb file, try

sudo apt-get remove --purge realplayer

thanks ...
real player is now uninstalled ...but when i right click on a media file ...
it gives an option Play with Real player 11 ...

how to remove that??

Been awhile since I used GNOME, but I believe...

Right click on a media file, select Properties.

Select the Open With tab

This should show a list of the apps that show up in the open with context menu.

Select and click remove on Realplayer.
