I just used the App Center to install Glabels (listed as glabels label designer 3 in my settings). It was not installed as a snap application. I made a mistake on a template (on the size) and thought to change it. Apparently there is no place to do that. So, I thought I would try and just delete the template. I found that this has been covered here and so I followed the directions. That is when I found out that there was no glabels in my system and any other name it might be called. I went to home and then to ubuntu and all drives - nope, not there. I tried everything I could think of but it simply did not exist - even in the terminal.
Can anybody tell me what is going on? I have never had this happen in all the years I have been using Ubuntu. In the meantime I will simply ignore the bad template, if possible and add another.
Yep - and have a mess on my hands. Still working on it. Some of my problems:
When I try and run a test it rolls through about 6 labels. My labels are 2" x 1.125" which is in the template.
That’s just for starters… I have used it for, literally years, with no problems. Have no idea what is going on.
Your output says that you have the glabels deb installed.
Yes, you have a glabels package on your system.
You got it from the normal Ubuntu repositories, which is the correct place for AppCenter to use.
Sorry that App Center cannot seem to find it.
AppCenter defaults to searching only for Snap packages.
It will find deb packages, too…but you must select deb packages every time.
If you don’t want glabels anymore, you can use the “uninstall” button on AppCenter,
Or, alternately, you can uninstall using the terminal…
sudo apt purge glabels
…will remove the software AND remove any settings.
Note: Most uninstalls don’t need to use purge. Most of the time, ordinary remove works fine. In this case, you specified removing settings, so purge is appropriate.
