Can't remove program on Gnome software center on Fedora
Can't remove program on Gnome software center on Fedora
Hi everyone!
Today I tried to install KDE alongside Gnome to give it a try on Fedora on something else than a virtual machine.
For a reason I can't understand, the terminal couldn't finish the installation of KDE as something failed. Despite all of this, all the KDE apps were installed and Plasma is appearing as an option on the login screen under Gnome and Gnome Classic. Still I couldn't launch KDE plasma and nothing was happening after typing my login.
I took it as a sign that KDE isn't for me, especially because I'm 99% happy with Gnome.
So I removed KDE via the terminal and the remaining apps via the software center. Sadly, there is one app called "Centre de bienvenue" or "Welcome center" from KDE that I can't remove. Nothing is happening when I try removing it.
I tried removing it via the terminal, but when I type "dnf list installed" I can't find it as there are too many packages. Could anyone help me?
I also tried « dnf list installed » with the words « welcome », « bienvenue », « kde » and « plasma ».
The name of the pkg is plasma-welcome now you can use dnf to delete it
This does indeed directly solve OP's original problem, but it does not answer the question of why GNOME Software isn't working as it should.
I’d guess because the metadata says it’s required for KDE, so cannot be removed. The UI should show that probably.

Sudo dnf remove plasma-welcome removed the package but it's still appearing as intalled in the package center. I'm gonna try rebooting and see if it solves the issue...
Edit: rebooting solved the issue so thanks a lot!
Okay thanks I’m gonna try that package name as soon as I can get in front on of this computer. Let’s hope it works.
I’ll keep you posted.
