[Liverpool] Ubuntu 9.04

[Bob Ham]

Try:

  $ dpkg -l | grep nvidia

which will give you a list of packages, then remove each package in the
list with:

  $ sudo apt-get remove $package1 $package2..

or you could roll it into one with:

  $ sudo apt-get remove $( dpkg -l | grep nvidia | tr -s [:space:] | cut -f 2 -d ' ' )


HTH, HAND,

Bob
