Also simple brightness applet is working again...
bump
elsewhere FormerPalmerUser said he uninstalled package by package

for me
Code:
sudo gainroot
apt-get purge vlc
doesn't rehabilitate 10 MB's of rootfs, whether I have unmounted the emmc or not. (when installed I have vlc and vlc-mediaplayer items in HAM/ I had the 7 debs installed from v1.1.0)

how can I uninstall several packages? if someone could give me a clue pls. I'm aware that I'm missing something basic but even this I cannot find info on as I'm sort of ignorant on alternatives between different linux distributions.
