Uninstalling valet #115

dakira · 2017-10-22T13:49:16Z

We need a clear path or docs on how to get back to the state pre-valet. I just upgraded my Ubuntu from 17.04 to 17.10 and have absolutely no idea on how to get back network connectivity. The uninstall script just breaks (can't find php-fpm configuration) but I happen to know that it would tell me anyway that I need to manually restore my network connectivity.

With previous versions of valet I was easily able to undo the changes. Now I'm really not sure what valet has done and how to undo it.

Please read the documentation on uninstalling.

Only if it doesn't help, comment here with the specific steps you've taken and at what point they failed.

dakira · 2017-10-22T13:59:17Z

Something like this should be in the documentation:

rm /opt/valet
remove valet-specific settings in /etc/NetworkManager/{conf.d,dnsmasq.d}
remove /etc/dnsmasq.d/{valet,options}
Make sure resolved is running, if not, enable and start it systemctl status systemd-resolved.
remove the dnsmasq package (leaving dnsmasq-base!)
rm /etc/resolv.conf && ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
restart NetworkManager systemctl restart NetworkManager.service

dakira · 2017-10-22T14:00:18Z

Maybe valet should have some kind of install migrations. So for every installation step, save a script somewhere that ondoes it?

cjlaborde · 2018-08-11T11:54:42Z

What steps should be taken for Ubuntu 18.04? I notice some of those steps different in 18.04.

dakira · 2018-08-13T15:23:08Z

@cjlaborde Should still be the same.. nothing changed networking-wise.

cjlaborde · 2018-08-17T19:54:18Z

Thank you Dakira. Here steps I followed are they ok? I am stuck in step 5.

rm /opt/valet-linux

(File name changed)

2.remove valet-specific settings in /etc/NetworkManager/{conf.d,dnsmasq.d}

a. /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d
(empty inside)
b. /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d
(valet.conf inside) Delete this file right?
3. remove /etc/dnsmasq.d/{valet,options}

5.remove the dnsmasq package (leaving dnsmasq-base!)
How to do this? deleting a file or through terminal if file where is it located?

dakira · 2018-08-21T10:42:02Z

@cjlaborde sorry, but explaining Ubuntu package management goes beyond what we can do here. Install synaptic and use that to search for dnsmasq and you will see the installed packages.

j0131n · 2018-09-10T14:05:12Z

@dakira Thanks mate! I was experiencing the same issue awhile ago and your solution helped me, I am running ubuntu 18.04.

@cjlaborde as per step 5, just simply run sudo apt remove dnsmasq. Do not worry about dnsmasq-base it won't be deleted, and also a tip if you are having trouble with locating directories from your package you could always run in the terminal: whereis (package or file name)

cjlaborde · 2018-09-14T01:30:08Z

Thank you darika and j0131n manage to finally remove valet from my system! and get my internet back to normal.
Another issue in my case was that after restart I was left without internet again.
The problem was this step.
n -s /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
This command basically creates a shortcut link to /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf as etc/resolv.conf
But if systemd-resolved is not enable at restart it will not create the file /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf
so the shortcut link in /etc/resolv.conf will not be able to read from /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf
Fixed the issue by
▶ sudo systemctl enable systemd-resolved

The where the whole issue is at this file resolv.conf

To follow step 5. Uninstall dnsmasq through synapic

or
sudo apt remove dnsmasq

dakira · 2018-09-20T05:27:07Z

@cjlaborde looks like you missed my step4 which caused your problem.

wout · 2019-02-27T18:41:39Z

@dakira Thanks for this! To be honest, this should somehow be part of the package.

valet disappear

wout · 2019-02-28T13:47:34Z

I'd like to add that in my case (Ubuntu 18.10), I had to re-enable systemd-resolved. Otherwise, it wouldn't start after a reboot:

sudo systemctl enable systemd-resolved.service

Now, everything seems to be back to normal.

Great you got it resolved, I almost had to reinstall the entire Distro do to this issue..
I had same issue in 18.04 solved mine with.
▶ sudo systemctl enable systemd-resolved
As I mentioned above.

jmarcher · 2019-04-17T12:47:28Z

Closing this issue as it seems to be resolved.

ladsoftware · 2019-05-03T00:55:05Z

My solution:

backup my files.
do a clean installation.
Stay away from valet.

jmarcher · 2019-05-03T07:02:28Z

@ladsoftware If you have any issues just post them here, no need to be sarcastic.

bergstar · 2019-06-20T15:09:11Z

This issue is not resolved. On Ubuntu 19.10 it leaves user without access to internet. Also, please keep in mind, the very reason people are using Valet - is to get an easy start.

There should be a clear warning to a user, that after running valet uninstall user will be left without access to the internet. Or at least a warning in the getting started documentation, so user is at least aware of how to fix the issue.

jmarcher · 2019-06-21T08:12:47Z

I added a new section in the documentation for this problem.

Note that I use Manjaro and not Ubuntu, therefore I can not test problems with Ubuntu.

dakira · 2019-06-27T12:15:08Z

@bergstar As Ubuntu 19.10 hasn't even been released, yet, I would assume that beta-testers also know how to fix their own network stack. That aside, My checklist above still works for 19.04 (just tried it).

mwkcoding · 2019-07-06T14:23:13Z

@dakira I am on Ubuntu 19.04 running natively on my machine alongside windows. I'm also ending up without any internet connection after following those steps. When I try to ping it goes "Temporary failure in name resolution".

dakira · 2019-08-12T14:37:58Z

@mwkcoding My steps are not a step by step solution. In Point I hint at checking the status of systemd-resolved. It that's not running, you need to run and enable it. Seems like that wasn't clear. Check out the updated documentation.

hareendranmg · 2020-05-15T14:47:20Z

I'd like to add that in my case (Ubuntu 18.10), I had to re-enable systemd-resolved. Otherwise, it wouldn't start after a reboot:

You are god🔥. Thanks mate🤘

dakira · 2020-05-18T11:46:15Z

The uninstall instructions still seem to be unclear to some, so I updated them once again (PR waiting).

karsakly · 2021-09-17T04:25:11Z

Something like this should be in the documentation:

rm /opt/valet

remove valet-specific settings in /etc/NetworkManager/{conf.d,dnsmasq.d}

remove /etc/dnsmasq.d/{valet,options}

Make sure resolved is running, if not, enable and start it systemctl status systemd-resolved.

remove the dnsmasq package (leaving dnsmasq-base!)

rm /etc/resolv.conf && ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

restart NetworkManager systemctl restart NetworkManager.service

worked for me
Thank @dakira for help!

nipunTharuksha · 2022-07-26T11:43:58Z

I had the same issue even after following all the above steps. But luckily I found this youtube video and it was able to fix my issue. However, at /etc there was no resolv.conf file when I try to update it. So I created a file there and added the content and it fixed the issue.

Ubuntu 22.04
Valet - 2.2.32

sudo touch /etc/resolv.conf
sudo vim /etc/resolv.conf

add below content.

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

restart NetworkManager systemctl restart NetworkManager.service

asertym · 2022-08-21T10:46:08Z

This whole thing is insanely ridiculous

dakira · 2022-08-21T17:37:24Z

Hi, this place is for reporting problems. What exactly are your problems? Are the uninstall instructions insufficient? @asertym

t0ben · 2022-09-23T08:03:53Z

Restart or killing this processes is missing, else the resolv.conf file will be relinked ....

root 2074 0.0 0.0 2700 32 ? S Sep14 0:00 inotifywait -q -m -e modify -e create -e delete --format %w%f /run/NetworkManager /opt/valet-linux/custom-nameservers
root 2075 0.0 0.0 7972 876 ? S Sep14 0:01 bash /opt/valet-linux/valet-dns start

haidarzhy · 2023-01-27T11:38:40Z

For me after systemctl restart NetworkManager.service symlink /etc/resolv.conf was constantly re-created to missing file /opt/linux-valet

So I had to additionally remove valet-dns service:

systemctl stop valet-dns
systemctl disable valet-dns
rm /etc/systemd/system/valet-dns.service
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl reset-failed

only after that problem was solved

ryancwalsh · 2023-02-10T02:38:49Z

Thank you, @haidarzhy !!

Team, please update the instructions at https://cpriego.github.io/valet-linux/#uninstalling.

And as others have mentioned above in this issue, also consider warning people during the installation (and/or making the overall setup less error-prone).

I haven't used valet-linux for years and forgot all about it.

Then I upgraded my Ubuntu installation recently and lost my internet connection every time I woke the computer from sleep.

I wasted a whole day on this problem.

I'm so thankful that I finally found this answer from @haidarzhy here! Thank you!

I think my problem is solved now!

P.S. I think these were some (but not all) of the commands that I needed:

composer global remove cpriego/valet-linux
sudo rm -rf /opt/valet-linux/
sudo systemctl revert systemd-resolved
sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved
sudo apt-get remove dnsmasq
sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
sudo ln -s /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
sudo systemctl stop valet-dns
sudo systemctl disable valet-dns
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/valet-dns.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl reset-failed
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

dakira · 2023-02-10T03:48:31Z

Hey. I will try this on some blank Linux installs and update the documentation as soon as I get back from holidays. Thanks for the info @haidarzhy and @ryancwalsh. Maybe we can get this into the uninstall command.

haidarzhy · 2023-02-10T22:38:57Z

One more small step is to remove php-fpm pool valet.conf so you don’t have additional php processes running.

lukastom · 2023-04-25T12:16:37Z

From a philosophical standpoint, I believe that if a program installs something, it should remove 100 % of this stuff during uninstall. To not delete leftovers is so Windows-like :-)

haidarzhy · 2023-04-25T14:41:40Z

Even after the last steps I had a weird problem: DNS lookup for new websites took 30 seconds, after some research I found not working nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf so I reverted it to the default state with:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall resolvconf but now I see some warnings after clicking Power Off or Reboot.

I someone has better ideas how to clean resolv.conf, share please here. I'm ok with these warnings though
