Uninstalling Vision Point on Linux
Last Updated 5 years ago

In order to perform the following operations, root privileges are needed.

  1. Stop and disable "kaya_daemon.service" and "kaya_driver.service" using systemctl stop {Service name} and systemctl disable {Service name} .
  2. Delete the folder "/opt/KAYA_Instruments" recursively with all its contents.
  3. Remove application launcher user_name/Desktop/Predator.desktop. Also remove this file from folders "/etc/skel" and "/usr/share/applications".
  4. Remove file "VisionPoint_logo-48px.png" from folder "/usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/apps/".
  5. Delete the folder "/var/log/KAYA Instruments" recursively with all its contents.
  6. Delete the folder "/home/user_name/.config/KAYA Instruments" recursively with all its contents.
  7. Remove file "kaya_daemon.service" from folder "/etc/systemd/system"
  8. Remove file "vision_point_sharedlib_config.sh" and "vision_point_gentl_config.sh" from folder "/etc/profile.d"
  9. Remove file "kaya_lib.conf" from folder "/etc/ld.so.conf.d"
  10. Delete the folder "/etc/kaya_driver.d" recursively with all its contents.
  11. Remove file "kaya_driver.service" from folder "/etc/systemd/system"
Removing kernel driver.
The kernel driver name is "predator_driver.ko", and its installation folder depends on the current version of the system kernel, which can be retrieved by executing "uname -r" command.
For example, if result is "4.15.0-66-generic" the driver is copied into folder /lib/modules/4.15.0-66-generic/kernel/drivers/kyfg, so to remove it you need to:

  1. Delete the folder "/lib/modules/kernel_version/kernel/drivers/kyfg" recursively with all its contents - replace "kernel_version" with result of "uname -r" command.
  2. In case kernel version was updated after Vision Point was installed first time "predator_driver.ko" can also be found in other sudfolders of "/lib/modules/" corresponding to other kernel versions, so you will need to delete also other "kyfg" subfolders of those folders
  3. Delete the folder "/etc/kaya_driver.d" recursively with all its contents.
  4. Remove file "kaya_driver.service" from folder "/etc/systemd/system"
