issue uninstalling Vivaldi fixed

PseudoSpock, 10 months ago

sudo apt purge vivaldi-stableThen, as yourself (not root): rm -rf ${HOME}/.cache/vivaldi ${HOME}/.config/vivaldi

That removes the package, and your personal stored config and cache of the browser. NOTE: rm -rf is permanent without a backup or snapshot to restore from. Don’t delete these unless you are certain you want to.

ok how do I make I’m myself not at the root level

Open a new terminal and you should be fine. When using sudo you get root level access.

From what did you install deb package, flatpak or snap.

joel_feila, 10 months ago

deb

everett, 10 months ago

Are you sure the deb didn’t quietly install a snap package? The last time I tried, it tried to wget a .snap from api.snapcraft.io.

joel_feila, 10 months ago

i downloaded from the vilvaldi web site a. dab file

everett, 10 months ago

Yeah, so did I. And after the deb finished installing, my firewall showed it wget a snap.

Do you have synaptic in your applications?

joel_feila, 10 months ago

i don’t think so

I second this ^

Install Synaptic and remove it from there. I have used Vivaldi on KDE Neon in the past and I remove it using Synaptic, although you can also remove it from Discover.

joel_feila, 10 months ago

ok i used synaptic and it removed vivaldi. then after reinstalling it the same problem happened including it loading the last session and bookmarks
