Hello, I am new to elementaryOS and was looking for an efficient music player until I updated it ppa. However, after trying to install DeaDBeef through the terminal and it didn't install correctly. So, i just deleted the tar.gz files and all the other folder extractions along with it. I thought using GDebi Package Installer would solve the problem by installing the .deb package with the GDebi Package Installer. It still would not open so I decided to just uninstall it again. I uninstalled the packages, deleted the repositories for deadbeef, and even went far to using the following commands sudo apt-get remove --purge deadbeef sudo apt-get remove deadbeef sudo apt-get remove --purge deadbeef-player sudo apt-get remove deadbeef sudo apt-get-remove --purge deadbeef-static sudo apt-get-remove deadbeef-static I typed all of this into command terminal and for some reason DeaDBeef is still listed in the applications. I need help getting rid of it.
I was able to hide it and find the directory containing a file named deadbeef.desktop through /usr/local/share/applications but I don't have the permissions to it even when trying chown -R nameofuser /usr/local/share/applications but that didn't work either since I didn't have the permission to. So I used sudo chown -R nameofuser/usr/local/share/applications and it worked! Thanks for helping me find the directory that was the cause of all this. t was driving me nuts and thought it would be stuck on my system forever.
