#134 How to uninstall module?
Closed: Invalid 4 years ago by asamalik. Opened 4 years ago by jaruga.

I installed ruby module by dnf module install ....

$ sudo dnf module install ruby:2.6/default

Then want to remove (uninstall) the ruby module.

$ sudo dnf module remove ruby
Error: Cannot enable more streams from module 'ruby' at the same time

$ sudo dnf module remove ruby:2.6
Unable to match profile in argument ruby:2.6

$ sudo dnf module remove ruby:2.6/profile
Unable to match profile in argument ruby:2.6/profile

How to uninstall it? Still there is a ruby module instead of ruby on local.

$ rpm -q ruby
ruby-2.6.2-119.module_f30+3838+0c262d71.x86_64

$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/ruby-mri 
ruby-2.6.2-119.module_f30+3838+0c262d71.x86_64

ruby module is not included in the enabled module list.

$ sudo dnf module list | grep ruby
ruby                master         default                                         An interpreter of object-oriented scripting language                           
ruby                master         default                                         An interpreter of object-oriented scripting language                           
ruby                2.6            default                                         An interpreter of object-oriented scripting language 
$ dnf module list --installed

=> empty


https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command_ref.html?highlight=module#module-command-label

dnf [options] module remove <module-spec>...
    Remove installed module profiles incl. their RPMs. In case no profile was provided, all installed profiles get removed.

Following above document, I think "sudo dnf module remove ruby" should work to remove. But there is an error message.

$ sudo dnf module remove ruby
Error: Cannot enable more streams from module 'ruby' at the same time

$ rpm -q ruby
ruby-2.6.2-119.module_f30+3838+0c262d71.x86_64

I could uninstall the ruby module by dnf downgrade. But is it a right workflow?

$ rpm -q ruby
ruby-2.6.2-119.module_f30+3838+0c262d71.x86_64

$ sudo dnf downgrade ruby

$ rpm -q ruby
ruby-2.6.2-118.fc30.x86_64

I think Ubuntu's snap has similar command line interface.
The workflow is intuitive for me.

The Fedora module could be like this?

$ snap find hello
hello-node-snap       1.0.2        bhdouglass      -    A simple hello world command
hello-mdeslaur        2.10  mdeslaur    -   GNU Hello, the "hello world" snap
hello-snap      0.01    muhammad    -   GNU hello-snap, the "Hello, Snap!" snap
hello           2.10    canonical       -   GNU Hello, the "hello world" snap
hello-world     6.3     canonical       -   The 'hello-world' of snaps
hello-sergiusens      1.0   sergiusens      -   hello world example
hello-gabriell  0.1     gabriell    -   Qt Hello World example
hello-bluet     0.1     bluet       -   Qt Hello World example
so-hello-world  0.2     shadowen    -   the old classic
hello-huge      1.0     noise       -   a really big snap
$ sudo snap install hello

$ sudo snap remove hello-world

I mean can we do like this?

To install a module

$ sudo dnf module install ruby

To uninstall a module,

$ sudo dnf module remove ruby

Since this is quite old and many things have changed, I'm just closing it. If this issue still exist, please report it to DNF.
