Installed in Windows/Trying to Remove in Ubuntu [Linux]

[go4it420]

Hello, I have installed Rockbox on my Sansa e250 while ago and decided to remove it.

I thought I just had to removed ".rockbox" folder on my sansa disk, but it didn't remove properly and I had to press "left" button whenever I have to power on it. And it's really annoying.

I recently updated my computer with Linux Ubuntu 10.4 and have no idea how to remove it.

Any Help, please?

You need to remove the bootloader.

http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-sansae200/rockbox-buildch2.html#x4-210002.5

Scroll up a bit from there to see links to Rockbox Utility and sansapatcher (they both run on Linux).

Be aware that you need to run Rockbox Utility / sansapatcher as root to uninstall the bootloader.

I can uninstall the rockbox but I cannot remove the bootloader? How?

[Chronon]

What steps have you taken to uninstall the bootloader.  What specific trouble are you having?

[go4it420]

I downloaded rubutilqt 1.0.6 and 1.0.7 because first one did not work.

1) I set up my sansa as MSC
2) I booted up as sansa firmware
3) I connected my sansa to Linux
4) started up rockboxutility
5) I went to "installation" then clicked on "remove the bootloader" and that's what is happening.

EdIt: OK, I also tried to do manual uninstillation, when I went to install bootloader, but I get HTTP 404 error too!

Are you running RBUtil as an administrator? Did you right click on it, and specifically choose to?

[go4it420]

What do you mean by "run as administrator"?

Edit: Oh yes, it's my personal computer.

Thanks for in advance.

This doesn't mean anything. Please check the user permissions in the About / System Info dialog. Pasting its output here would be helpful too (you can Copy & paste from that dialog).

I tried wine for Windows version, but it's still not working.

Thanks for inadvance.

Have you tried launching it with gksudo?

[go4it420]

No, could you give me the command please?

Thank you.

[Llorean]

Just precede rbutil with gksudo when you launch it from the terminal.

[go4it420]

I am sorry but I am new to Linux.

So, I go to terminal then type gksudo rbutilqt?

Thanks for in advance.

[Llorean]

Go to the terminal, change directories to where you have rbutil and gksudo ./rbutilqt
