Uninstalling the Receiver on Linux

To uninstall the RGS Receiver on Linux find the name of the RedHat RPM package for the Remote

Graphics Receiver, by typing:

rpm -q -a | grep -i rgreceiver

If the Receiver is installed on the system, you will see rgreceiver_linux_32-5.1-0 or a similar Receiver

package. To remove the Receiver's RPM package, become root and type:

rpm -e --allmatches rgreceiver_linux_32

Linux Receiver Audio requirements

The RGS Receiver installer will install a version of JACK Audio Connection Kit if one is not already

installed on the system. JACK is a low-latency sound server that works in conjunction with an ALSA

sound driver to mix and direct audio on the Receiver system. The version of JACK provided with the

RGS Receiver installer is the version that is expected to be started by the script in /opt/hpremote/

rgreceiver/hprgsaudio. A different version may require adjustments to this script to provide different

options for the JACK daemon.

The JACK Audio Connection Kit is installed as an RPM package. The RGS Receiver will run on systems

without audio hardware, but the Receiver will not run without the libraries provided by the JACK RPM

package. If the RGS Receiver is being removed from the system, JACK can also be removed using the

following command.

rpm -e jack-audio-connection-kit
