Can't kill process and uninstall package
By Joseph Russell •
I had some problems: couldn't remove packages properly and eventually I did rm -rf to directories of Virtualbox.
Now I want to install Vitualbox again, but can't because system tells that virtualbox already running. I tried kill -9 <PID>- doesn't help.
Every time I try ps -aux | grep virtualbox the process appears with new PID.

Update: I'm not using those broken system already, but still would be nice to know how to deal with such kind of problem.
