I have one more new issue now but connected to what we has been talking about :
I has been able to download the second app which I wanted via Gear Lever and it works very well .
Thanks to you another success which I am very proud of
The same , the new app extracted all information from the older version . That is great .I do not need to fill it up again manually .
I thought the old version of the app was causing malfunction in the browser but now when I replaced it with a new version it is still the same . So the app version it is not a problem.
I talk about KeePassXC extension in Vivaldi .
I have asked about that on KeePassXC forum and the suggestion is to uninstall app version
and install it different way .
The Vivaldi browser was downladed from AppCenter.
My problem is that it looks like there is no AppImage package for Vivaldi .So it looks like unfortunately the way how to download and update apps with the AppImage will not work in this case .
So now I am not sure which way of downloading the Vivaldi browser I should chose .
The guys on KeePassXC forum suggest this way :
I guess it is Keepassxc, isn’t it?
Now that the App Centre also installs snaps, if you’re not sure, a good way to check if the application is installed and to find its “real” name is to enter this line:
dpkg -l <application name or part of name>
For example:
dpkg -l fire*
Applications marked with “ii” in the response are installed:
ii firefox 134.0.1~build1 amd64 Mozilla Firefox
a firefox-esr <none> <none> (no description available)
ii firejail 0.9.72-2ubuntu3 amd64 sandbox to restrict the application environment
To completely uninstall (including configuration files) :
sudo apt purge <application name>
Otherwise, to check for Snap applications:
snap list
To uninstall a Snap:
sudo snap remove <application name>
We all had the same problem at first: folders or files whose names start with a dot are “hidden”.
To see them (or hide them) type “Ctrl h”.
For Vivalsdi, it seems there’s also a version 7 AppImage on GitHub, but unless you want to take it with you on a key, it’s of only relative interest.
I’ll reply by PM to develop: that’s beyond the scope of your original post.
No , it is Session .
Actually it is the same story with KeePassXC . Both of them Session and KeePassXC have been for the first time installed via AppCenter …
and now I have still these two old verssions of the app as a seperate apps and two new versions of the app instilled as an AppImage .
That is what I’ve got after I used the above command :
snap “session-desktop” is not installed
The version of Session I would like to delete is not in the AppCenter available any more .The one available now in the AppCenter is a newer version of it .
Have you checked the list of installed snaps first?
Type snap list and send the answer, but only about “session-desktop” or something similar, as I did above.
Also type dpkg -l sess* and, just in case, type flatpak list too.
Send the answers that match, if any.
After I’ve typed above command I haven’t got anything about session on the list which pop up .I have other applications within this list but it is not “session”.
Next I’ve typed :
and now I get this :

And this is the old version 1.14.2 of Session I would like to uninstall. .
Now to remove it I have tried this command but does not work for some reason :

But the problem with the Ubuntu repositories is that the applications are rarely bleeding edge.
Formats such as Flatak, Snap or AppImage can be used to get around this problem when it is important to have the latest version to fix bugs
Certainly not the newest versions but Ubuntu does fix bugs, especially security bugs and serious issues, as soon as possible through their regular update system.
