## VBoxClient remove

Sat Sep 24, 2016 4:08 pm

When starting X, i got a message from VBoxClient.
I removed it from .config/autostart, no luck, i removed it from etc/xdg/autostart, still no luck
I used "locate" and found a bin and i fount it in opt.
I went to opt/VBox-Blah and ran uninstall.sh , located again and removed it from opt and from var/log.
As far i remember VBoxClient is used in a VirtualMachine of VirtualBox, not on real hardware.
Not that it would matter much ...

Yeah that's annoying. I've just been ignoring it when I run in qemu but will remove it when I finally install. Now I know how!

I am not that sure, that's why i posted it in Help.
It seems to work, but the nuts and bolds? whew ... (well: mainly a) is running uninstall.sh the way to do it and b) is it necessary to remove it from the autostart files - xdg and in home ? ).

btw: besides that (which is close to nothing) everything worked like a charm.
Haven't done that much besides web-browsing and a bit of irc though ...

truth to be told: i used refracta all the time ...
(at least had it installed all the time, and using it as my main OS for loads of months now. I also check this forum and debianuserforums daily, more or less, but usually ain't nothing to say).
