I guess I'm really f'ked but hopefully someone can help me. I saw this article at Lifehacker about Wine for mac ( to install windows app). Later I wanted to unistall it, went to Wine's Wiki Page. Exact command I typed ( Terminal still remembers what I typed) rm -rf $home/.wine rm -f $HOME/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine. rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/applications/wine rm -f $HOME/.local/share/desktop-directories/wine. rm -f $HOME/.local/share/icons/????.xpm sudo port unistall wine-devel ( this was from a diff webstite).
After I restarted my Mac, All the application except native on a Mac is deleted, I got the Mac Welcome Theme, and all may docs, Music Pics are gone. Thanks for fast reply. So, what I typed in actually deleted the Home directory? Little knowledge is always dangerous, Should have just trashed the App and called it a day, I had to use terminal.grrrr. I did have multiple backups, just the other day my external hard drive died.
Hopefully my windows PC wont act up coz then i am really screwed up. Edit: @BlueRevolution: You added the Grin, so that makes a little different Thanks again for the reply. I'll make sure, I learn some unix before attempting any terminal stuffs.
But come one one little warning could not have hurt, everything seemed so smooth. Click to expand.Are you talking about at the command prompt or in the article you were following? One thing to note about.nix is that it expects you to know what you're doing, so it'll happily do whatever you tell it to. It's not its fault that you told it to delete your home folder. However, the article absolutely should have. Whenever I tell someone to sudo rm -r, I always to type it precisely or copy and paste. I also avoid adding the f, which makes the command even less whiny and more destructive.
Edit: Where did you find the instructions you followed? I was going to edit the wiki page to add a warning, but the only uninstallation instructions I can find there are. Edit 2: Sorry, apparently I'm blind. Edit 3: It's done. Hopefully the same problem won't befall anyone else. Where did you get the sudo from, though?
I don't see it anywhere there.
Wine for Mac (originally an acronym for ' Wine Is Not an Emulator') is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, Mac OSX, & BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop. Note: this listing is for the official release of Wine, which only provides source code. If you want a version of Wine that is packaged specifically for OS X, then use!
