Hello everybody,

In KDE 4.7.4 for exemple, we had the "Uninstall" entry when we right clicked on an application in KickOff, please see the following picture :


In KDE 4.8.2 (Kubuntu 12.04), Uninstall entry is not here... How can we have it again ??

Thanks for any future solutions.

Must be a something Kubuntu or it's package manager added, it is not a KDE thing. Suggest you post on their forums and/or post a bug report there.

So you have this entry on OpenSuse with KDE 4.8 ?

With OpenSuse and KDE 4.7.4 I have this entry as on Kubuntu 11.10. So I thought it was a KDE problem or a package missing/not installed. I will post on Kubuntu forum too, it's maybe a kind of muon addon.

Thank you.

no idea never saw it, I just assumed it's a Muon thing as that's the current Kubuntu package manager. If you have it on openSUSE then I guess it's because you installed Kpackagekit or it's replacement Apper, which I haven't (I just use Yast sw manager) which is why I haven't seen it.

If you have it on 11.10 and on openSUSE maybe you don't have all the Muon packages installed see http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywo ... ection=all for a list

apologies for my bad assumptions, learn something new everyday

I usually use zypper (or apt-get on Kubuntu), but I appreciate this "uninstall" option which is very simple...one right clicked..

So I am searching but not finding anything. Packages for Muon are installed, I thinked about it before ! It's not that. On OpenSuse, yes it's KPackageKit.

I asked it in kubuntu forum, so wait and see..

in openSUSE 12.1 it's Apper as the gui for packagekit (replacing Kpackagekit), could you have Kpackagekit or Apper installed on 11.10 but not 12.04? for simple uninstalls I use rpm -e

Asked (and answered) on www.kubuntuforums.net today. See:

http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread ... post294429

for completeness the Kubuntu post mentioned in the prior post

The Kickoff application uninstaller is (/ was ?) part of the PackageKit : https://svn.reviewboard.kde.org/r/5974/diff/

Patch to use PackageKit session interface to "Uninstall" the applications.
When kickoff starts it checks if the session interface is available, if it's not available the
right click option to "Uninstall" applications will not be displayed.
You could try to install the Apper / PackageKit.

Apper:
KDE package management tool using PackageKit

I know because it's my post ! but thank you !

On 11.10 I know I don't have Apper or Kpackagekit and I have this uninstall entry. But maybe I have installed any packagekit package. I have to check this point.

EDIT: On 12.04 I have just installed Apper and PackageKit package. It solves nothing... So I am going to uninstall Apper , I don't need it and it does not fix my "problem".

We must have these packages for this uninstaller entry :

python-packagekit
libpackagekit-qt2-2
packagekit-backend-aptcc
libpackagekit-glib2-14
sessioninstaller
python-aptdaemon.pkcompat

For me, the last was not installed.. No need Apper nor KPackageKit.

Thanks to you for your help.
