How to uninstall Spectacle?

Sat Feb 27, 2021 2:41 pm
Hi,
I want to uninstall Spectacle, the screenshot utility, and replace it with Flameshot.

I tried:
Code: Select all
sudo apt remove spectacle

konsole answered:
Code: Select all
No apt package "spectacle", but there is a snap with that name.
Try "snap install spectacle"

I told the console:
Code: Select all
snap find spectacle

Konsole:
Code: Select all
spectacle  19.04.3  kde✓ - Screenshot capture utility, replaces KSnapshot

so I said:
Code: Select all
snap remove spectacle

and they said:
Code: Select all
snap "spectacle" is not installed

Am I doing this wrong?
Is the command "sudo snap remove (package)" incorrect?
Thanks!

apt search spectacle
