How do I remove PDF studio
 

Warning: Potentially stupid question after trying everything I know to think of:

As the subject says, how do I remove PDF studio? sbopkg doesn't know it's installed (or at least, that's what it says), but I want this bit of commercial garbage off of my system as soon as possible so file manager will choose okular instead of pdf studio (I change it temporarily by "open with" but it always goes back to pdf studio.

Thanks

Did you install it from the website package?
They have instructions to uninstall: https://kbpdfstudio.qoppa.com/uninst...udio-on-linux/

No, I used the curses (or ncurses) version of sbopkg.

Thanks

Probably:

Tried that. It said that no such package is installed (something to that effect).

first of all, if you want to change file manager you need to configure that. This change can be permanent, you need to tell it to remember the new settings.
You need to know how did you install it, and most probably the same way you can uninstall it too. But uninstalling it will not change the settings in file manager.

ls /var/log/packages | grep pdf

to know the package name for uninstall it

SlackBuilds.org has both "pdfstudio" and "pdfstudioviewer" entries.
Based on your comment that you used sbopkg to install it, it must have an entry in /var/log/packages/ and since "removepkg pdfstudio" did not work, Julius-Caesar's suggestion will likely show that you actually installed "pdfstudioviewer".

Except that it didn't work for either of them.

@jinxdad , Ill take JuliusCeasar's suggestion one step further ...

please run

And Please provide all the output & proof's it was run as shown above .

The problem is that this command will never yield a result, because 'packages' is a symlink:
The correct command to run needs an additional slash:

The sourcepackage mentioned on slackbuilds.org (PDFStudio_v2020_4_0_linux64.deb) is no longer available, so no clue there.
I have pdfstudio (latest version) installed using pdfstudio's own installer which gives me an uninstall script located in /opt/pdfstudio2023
Might be worth taking a look in your /opt directory and see if you can find something similar.

This will work:

That did it. It was 2-pdfstudio. Thanks. Marking this thread solved.

Another way to find out the name of an installed package is if you know the name of some contents in the package.

I don't know if that program was called by the command "pdfstudio", but if it were, it would also have been possible to find the package with:
