Don Graham · 09-01-2014, 03:00 AM

I need some help figuring out what command I need to use to purge app Grid.I have tried 5-10 command that did not work.

Sorry about the typo in the title.

Hi,

what command or method did you use to isntall "app Grid". Also, what is "app Grid"? What does it do?

Evo2.

PS. I notice that you call it both "app Grid" and "app Grad". Please clarify.

Here is the link I used. I use terminal

Please note the last line of my post.

Installing software from outside the repos is not a safe or reliable thing to do. Just my 2 cents as I'm not going to an unknown link to see what you installed...

Hi,

did you try to remove it using your package manager? Eg

Code:

sudo apt-get purge appgrid

If not, please try it. If it doesn't work post the exact errors returned.

NGIB, sorry to here you say that. After all you asked me to provide the info. That lead me to believe you might have an answer???

Hmm, removing a package like that is one of the most basic operations of a package manager. I strongly suggest you learn some of the basics of apt-get.

Note that you should also probably remove the ppa that provided that package. Eg

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:appgrid/stable
