MX 19.1 Can't uninstall program
Fresh install of MX linux 19.1 in a Thinkpad T61p. Installed Qbittorrent and have tried every application to deal with programs to remove Transmission and failed. In Synaptic when I find Transmission the option to remove it is greyed out. Have not had this problem in two previous installs of MX.
Must I resort to command line? If so can someone provide me with text to copy and paste in terminal? TIA |
To get started:
Code:
LC_ALL=C apt search transmission | grep -i installed |
Your command returned these two lines. Instructions I found online produced the attempt below to uninstall. I'm guessing either transmission is part of a larger package of standard programs in MX and thus is not seen here or in Synaptic, or I made mistakes in the command line.

Thank you very much.
"transmission-common transmission-gtk" worked. It's gone now. |
