Need some help updating the OS and Uninstalling an app

Support
45

can you tell me how? :sweat_smile:

48

well
regarding whether it’s Manjaro or not
I downloaded it from the official Manjaro site

cat /etc/lsb-release

DISTRIB_ID=ManjaroLinux
DISTRIB_RELEASE=21.2.4
DISTRIB_CODENAME=Qonos
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Manjaro Linux"

cat /etc/os-release

NAME="Manjaro Linux"
ID=manjaro
ID_LIKE=arch
BUILD_ID=rolling
PRETTY_NAME="Manjaro Linux"
ANSI_COLOR="32;1;24;144;200"
HOME_URL="https://manjaro.org/"
DOCUMENTATION_URL="https://wiki.manjaro.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://manjaro.org/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.manjaro.org/"
LOGO=manjarolinux

also to make sure we’re on the same page
you’re saying that this is a custom arch based distro and not Manjaro
so how can I install the official one?

@linux-aarhus also I was wondering if there was some kind of “start up application list” where I can locate the LBRY app and maybe uninstall it so If you can help me with that too, would be grateful

That’s why I asked for the output of the mentioned files :slight_smile: - process of elimination.

The package displayed in one of your screenshots OS Updates I am not able to locate - where does it come from?

I would like to know the output of

tail -15 /etc/pacman.conf

And

pacman -Qm

And

cat /etc/pamac.conf
53 
tail -15 /etc/pacman.conf

Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
# enable the multilib repositories as required here.

[multilib]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs


pacman -Qm

gave no output


cat /etc/pamac.conf

### Pamac configuration file

also regarding the updates
here is a better photo

https://paste.pics/1557d39a60d5b8dc8729cfac79b1d0a9

and up there you can see the LBRY ICON too :joy:

54

I would set the mirrors to 5 fast ones: pacman-mirrors -f5

57

Done :smiley:

https://paste.pics/ddbbd931e2d7e924d0b513a8e063af12

okay same thing
it just don’t update :joy:

58

Did anywhere, anytime, anything come from this?

I did not notice it.

LBRY
is very definitively
NOT
a valid package name
…

59

so what’s the package name? I’ve no clue😅

60

you want to uninstall an app
but you don’t know it’s full name

what came of the above?

no one but you even can have a clue
… and that’s a fact - not funny
or whatever that sweating emoji might mean

62

dude,
I downloaded an app called LBRY and uninstalled it,
but it copied itself somehow n now I can’t uninstall it
even when I right click and show app details (in the package manager supposedly) it just open package manager default screen only

and I’m not that experienced to figure it out yet ngl

63

… dude
just answer the freaking question

you wanted help

help people trying to give it to you

65 
pamac search lbry -q

gave no output, it just starts the next line, just tried it now again

Here it is

pamac search lbry -q 
no output

lbry-app-bin
lbry-app-binzsh: command not found: lbry-app-bin

lbry-desktop-git
zsh: command not found: lbry-desktop-git

lbry-sync-ytdl
zsh: command not found: lbry-sync-ytdl

lbry-vault
zsh: command not found: lbry-vault

lbrycrd
zsh: command not found: lbrycrd

lbrynet-bin
zsh: command not found: lbrynet-bin

fastlbry-terminal-git
zsh: command not found: fastlbry-terminal-git

quickmedia-git
zsh: command not found: quickmedia-git

pamac remove lbry 
Error: target not found: lbry
66

so a package by that name is not even installed

Why do you want to uninstall it again?

I may have missed critical information along the way.

67 
https://paste.pics/5d2c33500331628a6c78213a0572d599

as you can see it is there and not uninstalled, also it’s running if you can spot it’s icon at the top right corner, next to telegram icon

68

… no
no, I can’t - not from this screenshot :wink:

69

ekhm why not? :joy:

70

ahh - I thought I was supposed to see anything in the actual screenshot pictures atop
yes, I can see LBRY and a strange Icon
that does not help me, though :wink:

71

ye so how can I help you figuring out what I can do to remove that app :frowning:
