Chris, That is very helpful information and led me to post another question just now under a different Subject heading. Could you, or anyone, tell me what command or code in the pacman addon creates the desktop aliases of jconsole, jhs, and jqt? Thank you, On Fri, Apr 30, 2021 at 9:50 AM

Chris, That was what I needed to know. Thanks. Meanwhile I found that the slow processing was due to my slow internet connection. I've got a new problem that I will be trying to solve in a new thread, likely: my jqt app using openGL depends on the graphics screen and I am finding that the

Looking at the jpacman locale I learned that a key argument for 'remove'jpkg is 'all' . Having tried that option, all of the addons were uninstalled. That appears to be all because the folder J902 and J902-user are intact. So it appears that an uninstall means deleting those 2 folders and the

Brian, It looks like you can do an uninstall and even a reinstall. I found the documentation under Pacman https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Pacman and it had been moved from JAL in 2019. Hope this helps. Cheers, bob > On Apr 29, 2021, at 10:23, Brian Schott wrote: > > Bob and Thomas, > >

Bob and Thomas, Thank you for the feedback. I have been working under the assumption that after I get the message from jpkg that qt binaries have been downloaded, that there is no longer any downloading going on during the 30 min wait. But perhaps that is a mistake and with my download speed
