I can not uninstall GIMP flatpak using GNOME software center after I was install it from FlatHub !
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Hi. Today, just about 1 hr ago, I tried to install GIMP flatpak from FlatHub beside GIMP .rpm package which is already installed on my system from official Fedora repositories since about 5 years ago when I was on Fedora 24 ......
I installed GIMP flatpak from FlatHub using GNOME software center as GUI. I run GIMP flatpak & it worked okay after it's okay installation.
Then I tried to uninstall it using GUI (GNOME software center). I perform this but I noticed that uninstall done over eye blink period ! Usually software center show me progression of uninstall & it take some time ! So, I investigated if uninstall really or not. I saw that flatpak not removed & still on my system because it's icon is still existing in my application menu & when I click it flatpak package come to run !!
Please notice that GNOME software GUI at this stage showed me that GIMP from FlatHub now not installed on my system !!
I run "flatpak list" command to see if GIMP flatpak is still on my system or not, & it is still on my system !! - see the output bellow:
$ flatpak list

Then I fixed software catalog as following:
systemctl status packagekit
it show me that it is active, so I perform:
sudo rm -rf /var/cache/PackageKit/
Then reboot my system & wait till GNOME software reload the catalog. When this finished, I saw GIMP flatpak from within GNOME software center & here it show me that this package is STILL INSTALLED on my system !!
Then I tried to uninstall GIMP flatpak from terminal, but same error:
$ flatpak uninstall flathub org.gimp.GIMP
error: flathub/*unspecified*/*unspecified* not installed
Please your help to solve this problem ! Where is the bug: in your flatpak package or in flatpak itself or in GNOME software center ? How can I uninstall GIMP flatpak package from my system now ??
Hi again. I achieve success in uninstalling flatpak GIMP by terminal. It was my wrong since I typed "flathub" within uninstall command.
I run:
$ flatpak uninstall org.gimp.GIMP
& it was removed okay.
Sorry for that.
But issue remain: why GNOME software center failed to uninstall GIMP flatpak ??
I will change the title to be more appropriate. Just check from your side that the problem not from your flatpak package, so that we can close this issue & open it on flatpak GitHub repository ....
Hi!
I thought I had answered this one, but I guess I forgot. Anyway no there is nothing in the flatpak package which allows us to control installation/uninstallation or whatever. If there is a bug in GNOME Software (and there are many; I have constantly issues with it of things it fails to (un)install or fail to load a package info, or other issues…) then please open a report at the GNOME software bug tracker.
So I propose to close this report because we can do nothing about your issue. Thanks!
