The poor untested step-child will have to stay on the streets for a while longer but still many thank to AJ and the TheFu. I deleted the little Calibre launcher sphincter thingy so at least that annoyance is invisible and I think that maybe this "doing nothing" approach suits my pay-grade to a T. I did absolutely nothing so absolutely nothing happened. So Installed mlocate and now "locate calibre" gives me files in /snap, /usr and /var.but nochnage to the outputs from The Fu's suggestions.ģ) In the absence of an idiot-proof work-around (or some kind of fast acting and painless poison) I think HermanAB's solution might be the most practical for me. "locate calibre" gave 'mlocate not installed' "which calibre" results in bugger all, just nix,nada,bubkiss.so obviously not a lot of point in trying the "ll" command "sudo snap remove calibre" " 'snap "calibre" is not installed' "sudo apt remove calibre" gives me 'Package 'calibre' is not installed, so not removed' OK, thanks to TheFu, AJgreeny and HermanAB:ģ excellent suggestions and my results on trying them. This is obviously a PIBCAK issue but once again I'd be very grateful for any help. It's lying to me as Calibre is still there and functions perfectly but why is it a-sayin' that thar ain't no packidges? I installed it through the "Software" app (version 3.36.1) but I realise that I don't need or want an e-library manager and just need a simple cataloguer instead.so I tried to uninstall it, again through the Software app but all I get is a message saying "Unable to Remove Calibre, no packages to remove". Truthfully everything that I need still does work but I've come across a strange (to me) situation in that I can't seem to uninstall Calibre. It's not as pretty and 5 or so seconds slower to boot.but everything WORKS!.at least it did until today. A number of kind and patient people here gave me a lot of help but I just couldn't make it jump through the hoops.so I gave up and installed 20.04 Mate. I tried Budgie which looked fabulous, was very fast but just wouldn't be nice to me when I wanted to do even fairly simple stuff. I posted here recently when I was trying to install a light-ish more up-to-date version flavour of Ubuntu than my excellent but now venerable 16.04 Mate.
