Re: Cannot remove a widget
I wouldn't say it's a standard widget, but it is in a package that is very likely to be installed. ...and I would bet good money that you do have it installed. Do you suspect that this widget breaking things, or are you just doing some housekeeping, and getting rid of unused widgets?

Re: Cannot remove a widget
Thats too inefficient and will give a lot more output than you want. Since we already know the name of the package it came in, we can narrow down what files to look at greatly by doing: dpkg -L plasma-widgets-addons | grep -i timer That will simply list just the files in the package and then grep out anything that matched timer (case insensitive, just to cover our butts).

Re: Cannot remove a widget
For packaged items that you really want to make it go away and not come back you can do this: dpkg-divert --rename --add /usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-applet-timer.desktop dpkg-divert --rename --add /usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_timer.so For widgets, they will immediately disappear from the system, there is not need to reboot, or even so much as log out. That will add a diversion to the package system so that it moves the offending files out of the way that timer needs to run. The diversion will persist till you tell it to stop diverting the files, so new versions of the package will also have the timer files moved out of the way automagically and will not make the timer widget come back. To stop the diversion just run: dpkg-divert --rename --remove /usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_timer.so dpkg-divert --rename --remove /usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-applet-timer.desktop And everything will be as it was.

Re: Cannot remove a widget
What is the widget name and installation instructions? For instance, this widget is installed with an apt-get command and some custom editing, therefore an apt-get remove will uninstall it? http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/11/install-conky-htc-home-widget-in-ubuntu.html On Mon, Nov 12, 2012 at 10:36 AM, Wayne Davis wayda...@centurylink.netwrote: Kubuntu 12.10 I installed a timer widget from the widget download repository link.
