Back to Install on Ubuntu

Uninstall / Linux / Ubuntu

Uninstall on Ubuntu.

Remove Ilopad from Ubuntu, with its settings and the permissions that it added.

Follow the part that matches how you installed Ilopad. Each part removes the program. The last part is optional: it also removes your settings and the permissions that Ilopad added to your computer.

If you added the Ilopad repository

Use this if you added the Ilopad repository and installed Ilopad with apt or App Center.

1

Quit Ilopad

If you turned on Start on Login, turn it off first. Click the Ilopad icon in the top bar and click Open Configuration. In the Ilopad window, click the menu button, click Settings and clear Start on Login.

Then click the Ilopad icon in the top bar and click Quit. Or quit Ilopad from a terminal:

pkill -x ilopad-server
2

Remove Ilopad

Open App Center and type Ilopad in the search box. Under Debian packages, click Ilopad, then click Uninstall and enter your password. Manage does not show Ilopad.

Or remove it from a terminal. apt removes the program and its menu entry:

sudo apt purge ilopad-server
If the firewall (ufw) is on, Ilopad opened its network ports (UDP 4444 and 5353) in it. The removal closes the ports that Ilopad opened, and keeps each port that was open before.
3

Remove the repository and its key

Delete the two files that you added, then refresh the package lists. apt then forgets the Ilopad repository:

sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ilopad.sources \ /usr/share/keyrings/ilopad-archive-keyring.pgp sudo apt update

If you installed a single release by hand

Use this if you installed a downloaded package.

1

Quit Ilopad

If you turned on Start on Login, turn it off first. Click the Ilopad icon in the top bar and click Open Configuration. In the Ilopad window, click the menu button, click Settings and clear Start on Login.

Then click the Ilopad icon in the top bar and click Quit. Or quit Ilopad from a terminal:

pkill -x ilopad-server
2

Remove Ilopad

Remove Ilopad from a terminal. App Center cannot remove it: its search does not find Ilopad, and when you open the downloaded package again, it shows only Installed.

sudo apt purge ilopad-server
If the firewall (ufw) is on, Ilopad opened its network ports (UDP 4444 and 5353) in it. The removal closes the ports that Ilopad opened, and keeps each port that was open before.

Remove your settings and the permissions

Optional. Removing the package leaves these behind. Do these steps after you removed Ilopad with one of the parts above.

1

Remove the access to the input device

Ilopad added a device rule the first time that it asked for access to the input device. Remove it:

sudo rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70-ilopad-uinput.rules

If you clicked Use input group or Choose a different group, Ilopad also added the rule /etc/udev/rules.d/99-ilopad.rules and put your account in that group. Remove them too:

sudo rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/99-ilopad.rules /etc/modules-load.d/ilopad.conf sudo gpasswd -d "$USER" input
Skip the last line if you were in the input group before you installed Ilopad, or if a different program needs it. If you selected a different group, use its name instead of input. If gpasswd says that you are not a member, Ilopad did not add you, and there is nothing to remove.
2

Remove your settings

This deletes your settings, your paired devices and the server key, and also the Start on Login entry. If you install Ilopad again later, you must pair each device again:

rm -rf ~/.config/ilopad ~/.config/autostart/ilopad-server.desktop
3

Restart your computer

If you removed yourself from the input group, restart your computer.
