I'm trying to reinstall flux and am having a hard time. sudo apt-get remove fluxgui returns E: Unable to locate package fluxgui, which makes me think it's already uninstalled. But in the software center, I see:
If I click "Remove", the machine seems to run a process for a moment and then nothing changes; the "Remove" option is still there, and I also can't open flux.
How do I fix this?
There are 2 possible reasons why this might not be working.
In this case run the following commands to remove flux
cd /tmp
git clone "https://github.com/xflux-gui/xflux-gui.git"
cd xflux-gui
python download-xflux.py
# EITHER uninstall globally
sudo python setup.py install --record installed.txt
sudo xargs rm -vr < installed.txt
# EXCLUSIVE OR uinstall in your home directory
python setup.py install --user --record installed.txt
xargs rm -vr < installed.txt
There is a possibility that the ppa was removed after flux was installed. You can try adding the repo again and then uninstalling flux and then removing the PPA.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/flux
sudo apt update
sudo apt remove fluxgui
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/flux
sudo apt update
If you get the error @Rohith Yeravothula received when manually uninstalling:
TypeError: super() takes at least 1 argument (0 given)
It is because the current syntax is for Python 3. Use python3 instead of python when running the script.
